good day sir adam do you have any video on how to choose exact weight to be placed on chassis and why you should placed weight on chassis and how to placed it on correct spot thank u been doing race here on uae
i see you changed the stock universals but kept the front center and rear center universals joints. i still run on stock for front and rear center joints. did you see great improvement ? do you advise my to buy the optional center joints?(E2228 & E2229)
I know you are a master tuner, and you should not run into any problems. Do you think that the average club racer will have trouble keeping temperature under control using the b2102? I´m thinking of getting one but the temps on my local track sometimes go up to 115° and have doubts about it's cooling capacity. Thanks for your response in advance!
Hello Daniel, I haven't run the engine myself in extreme temperature, but I have spoke with O.S. and then did extensive testing before releasing the B2102 and are confident it will preform great even in extreme heat. The temperature may be slightly high because the temp gun will be measuring closer to the glow plug, but the lower cooling head will actually draw more heat out of the crank case. I plan to do a video on this in the near future.
Dear Adam, Thank you for your dedication to sharing anything RC. I am wanting to get into racing and am very interested in your MBX7TR, could you go under the hood once again with your truggy? I have a OS 28XZ engine I want to put in to my new Truggy, but many people run the 21. Could you explain some reasons why people choose this and your choices? Thank you and the best of luck with your next race.
Hello, Do you use underdrive in your High Traction Diff for the MBX7R? What gearing do you use for the new High Traction Diff for Buggy and Truck? Thanks!
Hello, With the O.S. Speed engines I don't run the under drive gears anymore in buggy, but if you need more low end power they are a great option. On truck I use the stock gearing.
Wow, when I think "Adam Drake" I also think "NovaRossi"....a combo that went hand in hand for years and very successfully! Wish you much success with the new mills! I'm loving that O.S B2102 design and can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.
hello MR Drake its a plusure to see you with another strong company meaning OS POWER now i have the las vegas edition with the American flag cant wait till sping to break inn an run it hope to see you out there at the track
It's probably youtube as it is so grainy sometimes and others are so clear from you. I don't have this issue elsewhere though. Don't want to be negative as all your info is always positive and of much use. Thank you.
Oh boy !! Big changes for 2017. Good luck Adam.
Thank you!
good day sir adam

thank u been doing race here on uae
Good to see you going back to paint from a wrap. I prefer the look of paint.
Thank you Joel!
Adam any reason why your using cva drive shafts instead of the universals that come with the kit? Thanks.
The cva style driveshafts have more overall grip and are very consistent from track to track.
Thanks for the awesome tour of this one!
My pleasure! Thank you!!
i see you changed the stock universals but kept the front center and rear center universals joints. i still run on stock for front and rear center joints. did you see great improvement ? do you advise my to buy the optional center joints?(E2228 & E2229)
Yes, the center universals are more durable, require less maintenance, and allow the drivetrain to be a lot more efficient.
you shoul d use avid ceramic bearings, and why cva driveshafts instead od universal?
The Mugen NMB bearings are the best bearings I've ever used. The cva driveshafts have more grip.
Adam Drake is this engine better than b2101? Thanks.
The B2102 will have a little smoother power and slightly better runtime. Both are great, just depends on the amount of power you like.

Adam Drake what about for the EBuggy? :) Thank you!
I run the HT differentials in e buggy as well with the 13/44 ring and pinion and 16/46 or 44 depending on the track with the Tekin 1900KV motor.
Adam Drake Thank you so much! its great that even a legend like you still personally reply to questions from ordinary racers like me. Thanks again! :)
My pleasure Justin!

:) I'll have some videos coming soon with the O.S. engines.
car looks dialed! and now with that OS engine. uff... killer
Heck ya!! :)
Dumb question , you run the aluminum shock towers , why not the carbon ones ? Is that a performance decision or ?
I always run the carbon towers on my MBX7R Eco to reduce weight, but lately I've been running the aluminum towers on my nitro buggy.
Adam Drake Ok thank you
hi Adam, when should I use the Mugen Seiki Graphite Front Steering Plate
I usually run the stock molded plate, but the graphite plate looks very nice and reduces the amount of flex.
that was quick!!! thanks Adam, i'm a really big fan from brazil!!! you did a great job at the dnc!!! congrats
Thank you very much!
Just curious, why the switch from Novarossi to O.S.?
I have a great opportunity with OS and Hobbico!
Silly question..But what mechanical switch do you recommend? That will fit in most brand cars?

Hi Adam, could you please point out what type of rear wing mount is this? Thanks!

Hi Adam. How do you like the OS power plant compared to the Novarossi you were using in buggy?
I'm very happy with the new O.S.Speed engine! :)
What about the OS do you prefer over NOVAROSSI? Thanks
The power of the O.S. engines is amazing and they are very easy to tune.
hello MR Drake its a plusure to see you with another strong company meaning OS POWER now i have the las vegas edition with the American flag cant wait till sping to break inn an run it hope to see you out there at the track
Thank you very much Robert!
hi adam i also have os b2102 and love it just worndering what head heater your using
I'm currently using a TrakPower 12V heater that I cut a little. We plan to do a new heater specifically for the B2102 head.
thanks for the reply how long before there out and do you cut the heigth down because thats the same one i have
I'm not sure when it will be available.
I never knew you switched to OS, gratz
Look awesome as usual Adam by the way guys that Mbx7r it's way better that all the other brands
Yes sir!
u da man Adam! best of luck to u in 2017!! u sir are a class act!
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Did you have to modify the HB wing mount to line up?
You need to cut the lower support brace on the mount for it to line up.
Any reason behind not running a fuel cooler anymore? Great video and good luck with the new engine too :)
Thank you! With orientation of the pressure nipple on the O.S. pipe it made the fuel line routing a lot cleaner without using the pressure cooler.
np anytime cause you are a great person an great things will continue to happen for you enjoy that os
:)
Why are these videos such low quality?
What can I do to make the videos better?
It's probably youtube as it is so grainy sometimes and others are so clear from you. I don't have this issue elsewhere though. Don't want to be negative as all your info is always positive and of much use. Thank you.
No problem. I appreciate the feedback. Maybe it depends on the internet connection? Thank you!
Do a vid on tuning an engine
that transponder looks old , LOL just like the one I took off my AD2 gas truck to put on my new stuff
LOL!
those are the best. I swap my new ones for this type. never missed a lap again..
:)
np
Sexy looking engine by the way Adam
Thank you Pepe!
