WERKS/COLLARI LC21B7

with Byron's RACE 3000 fuel

and either a Jammin JP-1 for a little more bottom-end power or a JP-2 for more top-end power.

$20 a plug????? WOW that's gotta hurt

I have tried Nova, O'Donnel and McCoy plugs. I have always liked McCoy's the best. They consistently last longer than the others and provide a consistent tune from plug to plug and through-out the life span of each plug.

I am running the stock head clearance, Byron's 3000 fuel and have found the MC9 works perfectly. That is their "cold" plug.

Try it. I'm SURE you'll like it and you could buy 5 for $20

My bad Rasta

agreeed $20 a plug is ridiculous and shops/places that charge that are not helping the hobby.

The current (and future) crop of Collari's are all Lamberto's designs from the bottom up. I understand that they are manufactuered for Collari, in Italy, by Sirio but again they are Collari specific designs not just restamped Sirio's. Unlike the REX/TOP/RB/NOVA based engines which are virtually the same with different brand name castings only.

Collari's use a "long" plug like the Nova based engines. The "short" plugs are still exclusive to OS.

I run for WERKS/Collari and have been SO happy with the B7!! It is a GREAT engine. Definately one of the best engines on the market!! If I didn't have an engine sponsor, I would be running the LC21B7. It's great and then you look at the price and it's just tough to beat for anyone that is looking for a national caliber buggy engine.

Also, the thread pitch on the carb screws are really fine. Which means that they don't have the ultra senstive adjustment problems that plaqued some Italian engines recently.

I'm excited to get the truck engine bolted in for Hemet!! I can't wait. That should be SWEEEEEEET!

Hey Mike Dana,
About that comment that hobby shops that charge like that are not helping the hobby. That statement is so true.
My local hobby shops prices are so rediculous, because hes located in the downtown of the village area of a rich town. My friend works down there in the hobby shop, and every time I get a new buggy or motor or something cool, I bring it down to the shop to show my friend, and everyone that works there gets all pissed at me because I didn't buy it there. Then I tell them how much I payedc for it and the owner was all pissed and said "OH there paracticly giving it away" but yet I paid what a normal hobby shops costs are. because I buy all my stuff off the hobby shops on the web and I usually pay the regular going rate. For instance I bought the Collari LC21 B7 and I payed 230 dollars brand new in box off ebay. And he charges 400.00 plus 30 dollars tax. That is insane. the most expensive I have seen that engine is 270 dollars . He charges way over regular price.

Had an RB S7 II good engine but moved on to the Novarossi 421B and Oh My God!!!

I'm all about making money to, don't get me wrong
I'm a 24 year old operating engineer for my familys contracting company, and I'll all about it.

but when it comes to extorting people because your the only shop on town , its really bulls**t.

I have enough money to pay his outragous prices but like you said this isn't supposed to be a richmans game, and I just want to pay what the average buyer pays. I don't want to get overcharged just because I live in a rich neigborhood.

After spending about 10,000 dollars there I got sick of it. And know I take my buisness elsewhere.

I couldn't imagine how much a expensive MBX5 Prospec kit would be maybe 1200 to 1300. Thats why I bought both of mine from NITROHOUSE. and got away with no tax. and my 2 777's off ebay,
and my 2 XB8's 1 from ebay and another from Hobby Hut.
