This 2.5 is a .15 engine. The 2.5 refers to a measurement of Cubic Centimeter displacement compared to Cubic Inch displacement (.15).

Thanks I now understand the reason for the two different numbers and now know they mean the same thing. I remember wondering about those numbers years ago. Long before I got into this hobby.

Doah! cubic inches and cc = cubic centimeters

McCoy was one of the ones the LHS sold me for the larger engine and it seems to be running well. I was given a traxxas plug for the Jato from a different LHS and it didn't do too well. I may have been given the wrong one. It was a 3230 (hot) plug. I will try one one of the 3232 plugs out. My original plans (which almost always change) was to buy a truggie and convert it to electric. But then the neighbor was selling the Jato and couldn't pass up the price he was asking. So ended up with a cheaper truggie and the Jato. Most likely will do the conversion this fall.

This has been work and I am understanding more of the nitro side so I will be able to rib the nitro guys better. It's still a fun way to learn about the nitro side and the challange is still there to tune it right and what not. But it is more work so far. Been a couple time had to force myself to go and do the afterrun crap. Then the 2.5 has been a lot more difficult to tune in then the 4.4 was. Oh, and the fumes! Man that burns the eyeballs right out of your head. They always die when they the farthest away, 26 bucks for a gallon of fuel and no reverse.

THanks for the input.

THanks RC_Kaos I'll do some looking around. I usually check the prices at stormer hobbies also. Usually cheaper then Tower on most of the items. A Main seems like a good place also. Got some gears from them once and they shipped em out pretty fast.
