OS fx 46
« on: October 05, 2016, 08:00:03 PM »
 Hi everybody, Looking for what venturi and needle valve would work for stunt on an FX 46? I believe the id of carb into case is 13mm. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time. Mike Millard

Jim Lee is the man. He is in the vendors corner.

I have a couple of those.  A great RC or scale engine, but maybe a bit heavy for stunt.   Maybe you could just find a throttle position that works and go with it.

  It works very well for stunt. We used with no modification and about a .281 venturi and an ST spraybar. We used 12-4 3-blades and 13-4 two-blades, typical 46VF props of the time. The only modification was to ream out the exhaust outlet to the largest diameter we could with a Fox reamer (probably 3/8") without removing the stinger entirely. Launch revs were in the 11,000 range.
