Fuel and prop for Stalker .46 re?
« on: June 18, 2021, 01:05:32 PM »
         Is a fuel mix 11-11 oil, 5 nitro and a 10-6 prop a good set up for a Stalker .46?

          Is there a better choice?

          Tia,

Hi Frank.
IMHO the fuel is ok.
I would try a 11x6 or 11,5x6....better than the 10".

Kind regards from Spain.

I use no nitro ,20% synthetic and the rest methanol. 11x6 or 12x6 . Too much castor is not a good idea for this engine as per my own experience.

Lots of torque in these engines, big props and low rpm works very well with them .

As others have suggested 20% synthetic oil. You can use 11/11 but the bore is likely to varnish.

11x6 is a good starting point.

Although they are designed/intended for no nitro - you can run it, but if it gets a bit difficult to tune you'll want to add head shims until it settles.
