View Full Version : Got the Tower .15 today
ScottH 10-02-2009, 10:35 PM I must say it is quite the nice little engine.
The muffler, well I do not like it as much. It really hangs down which I am afraid will cause problems for some of the other makes of cars out there.
The good news is, the engine comes apart really easy, just like the OS.
I took it all apart, removed that pullstart, popped out the sleeve, piston and crank. Then I proceeded to take my Dremel to it. Don;t you just love taking a cut-off wheel to a brand new engine? :D Wacked off th little tit that is used for the pull-start and put it all together. What did I use for a backplate you ask. The OS backplate, fit up perfect.
Mounted the CEN muffler up, put it in the car and fired it up.
I really think this will be a nice little engine, so far anyway. I will have it at the 500 and put it in the car for some testing.
Benjie Wright 11-11-2009, 10:22 PM I didn't here any results on the 500 test session, Does it have any rip or not? Can't beat that price. :thumbsup:
ScottH 11-11-2009, 10:23 PM As busy as I was trying to go fast, I did not get a chance. Maybe at teh Boyd race.
Benjie Wright 11-11-2009, 10:25 PM Just give us the word man. Like i said-i love that price.
Benjie Wright 11-25-2009, 09:39 PM Still no news on this Scotty boy> Do we need a new test DUMMY for this engine? LIKE KEVIN .. RED RIDER
COYOTE 11-26-2009, 10:26 AM Are you going to run nitro in 2010 Lil Red Riding Hood? I don't think that Tower engine would work too well on them horses............
Benjie Wright 11-26-2009, 08:31 PM I ran this year-was just to fast for the human eye to catch. While everyone else thinks Old # 3 won the championship ---I KNOW WHO REALLY ONE....MEMEME
ScottH 11-26-2009, 08:41 PM The only thing that fast is your typing!
So you going to run with us next season or what?
Benjie Wright 12-22-2009, 07:40 PM Heck -I'll get my own dang engine and test it.nah,nah,nah You guys don't make good test dummies, I told yah'll to get Kevin.:thumbsup:
Benjie Wright 12-23-2009, 09:20 PM Is it looking like this engine may be legal for next year or not? Heck -somebody say something. RED RIDER:thumbsup:
ScottH 12-23-2009, 09:30 PM What does it matter to you? Your horse cannot run one of these.
Benjie Wright 12-23-2009, 10:02 PM I ask a simple question, and i get the dumbest answer. Scott you never fail to amaze me. hehe
Benjie Wright 12-29-2009, 09:13 PM Just disregard all of this-I have purchased my own engine from tower, it should arrrive in a few days. Then i too can set and look at it, and dream of one day running with yah'll big dogs. Boy i can't wait till i grow up and become a real RC Racer. hehehe Take that Scotty Boy.
Later -RED RIDER:thumbsup:
Benjie Wright 12-29-2009, 09:21 PM Oh yeah-by the way- if the Schedule works out i plan on running for the points this year. I am waiting patiently for the schedule to be posted,as of right now i have nothing major planned for any other hobbies including the horses. So maybe i'll be able to make all of them this year. Just can't stand the thoughts of the SMURFS winning another championship. That just will not do guys. I expected more out of you Scotty Boy, I thought that you could handle them smurfs. Then Sambo let me down, Atleast i will be in there way this year so maybe one of you two guys can win the championship.
Sincerely-Later RED RIDER

Benjie Wright 12-30-2009, 08:15 PM Shut up old # 3 -we all know you wEAR BLUE PANTIES. Sure wish i had my old good friend Mclin on here to help with you dang blue coyotes.
Yah'll both suck, I'm taking my car and goin home. You two are bullies.:p
ScottH 12-30-2009, 08:33 PM In order for you to "take your car and go home" you would have had to take it somewhere in the first place!
Benjie Wright 12-30-2009, 09:34 PM Thats it -dangit, you're going straight to the wall first race there good buddy. I tryed to be nice -but you're just to slow to get it.(BIG DUMMY)

ScottH 12-31-2009, 12:12 AM Nope -- actually it is red.
Benjie Wright 01-02-2010, 05:14 PM It's COLD Dang'IT. WHOOOOOO
ScottH 01-03-2010, 12:30 AM You cry baby!
I was at LPR all day running the new car, it wasn't that bad.
Benjie Wright 01-03-2010, 12:43 PM Hey pretty boy- did you get to test that new engine? I thought you understood the new rules for this year-NO CHASSIS TESTING ALLOWED UNTIL THE FIRST RACE> YOU BIG DUMMY> you just beat everything. Even the smurfs understood that rule. CHEATER.
Later -RED RIDER:jest:
ScottH 01-03-2010, 12:55 PM Getting it ready for your "challenge" for whatever that is worth.
You run your Red car, I run my Red car and you TRY to put me in the wall.
Good Luck!
kevina250 01-04-2010, 08:03 PM Make sure the muffler stays tight.:thumbsup:
ScottH 01-04-2010, 08:08 PM Got those bad boys safety wired to the motor. It may come loose but it won't fall off!
Mitch R 01-04-2010, 10:40 PM As long as it will push fuel, loose can be good.
ScottH 01-04-2010, 10:54 PM Mitch, the only time the pressure from the muffler really helps is on starting. The rest of the time the fuel is drawn into the engine. My muffler was off for at least 350 or so laps at Easley and ran all the way to the 500 lap mark, no pressure line.
Benjie Wright 01-05-2010, 08:27 PM Cheater-Kevin is all the time telling me B.S to-He always says he's a
GOAT or something. Says it stands for GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
YEAH RIGHT-LATER, RED RIDER:jest:
Benjie Wright 03-15-2010, 07:04 PM Oh well no need to worry about this engine anymore , they discontinued it. Guess the O.S 15 will be next. :confused:
oval racer 2 03-15-2010, 07:37 PM then, we will all be running dynamites.lol!!!
Benjie Wright 03-15-2010, 08:21 PM Thats cool with me-I always did like a dynamite. :thumbsup:
ScottH 03-15-2010, 09:11 PM Well isn't that just peachy.
Anyone want a .15 cheap??
Benjie Wright 03-15-2010, 09:27 PM that does it-I am writing OBAMA a dang letter. :p
kevina250 03-15-2010, 09:32 PM He won't reply. To busy on the No you can't go there Health Care.
ScottH 03-15-2010, 09:39 PM Don't even get me started on what that idiot is doing to our country.
I only hope that the American public will remember all of this when election time comes.
I do not for one second think that we were not headed into a depression, this is not Obama's fault. I do however think that there are others that would have better ideas and solutions to what has happened. Never in once instance of history has just throwing money at a problem in this country fixed that problem. Now had we not "given away" money and given tax breaks instead, I think that would have been a better path to go down.
Dang-it!!! I told you guys NOT to get me started.
Benjie Wright 03-15-2010, 09:40 PM O.K then i'll write-my governer-bev purdue--Wait a minute, better not do that she will make me pay more taxes. I know I'LL write Tim Smith of GASCAR- he will take care of it for me. Or better yet I'LL write Old # 3 -- He's my hero --he can do anything. hahahahahaha:thumbsup::thumbsup:
kevina250 03-15-2010, 10:00 PM Yep. Cross the finish for checker, make a car fly without wings. And a little girl cry when the her little doll got shredded by a 50mph RC car. Just one of the memories that sticks in my head.
You the Man Roger D.:thumbsup:
Benjie Wright 03-16-2010, 06:19 PM You mean he made a little girl cry-- He is really my hero now,, YOU ARE THE MAN R.D.....
Dang Scott- Me and you seem to agree on something--dang that is wierd.
O.k Little boy Blue --- get started on it.:thumbsup::thumbsup:
69mkitmine 03-16-2010, 09:20 PM Oh well no need to worry about this engine anymore , they discontinued it. Guess the O.S 15 will be next. :confused:
That's the problem with Nitro...you never know what will change and when. You guys should go brushless/Lipo and all of your worries will be over. :rolleyes:
ScottH 03-16-2010, 09:24 PM 69, sorry to hear about your brain injury. It must really be something to deal with the constant dillusion that LiPo and Brushless is not the answer it was touted to be.
I will tell you this. We, GASCAR, have had the same rules for the last 3 years I have been involved with 3 changes. The fuel tank size, it was made smaller due to the change from Associated. The muffler, also discontinued by AE, but was easily replaced with other options. The engine, the .12's were disontinued and replaced with the .15. These 3 changes have not turned our racing upside down nearly as bad as the debacile that is electric racing.
Benjie Wright 03-16-2010, 09:35 PM Well if it ain't keith -- How's things in Dillon Ole Boy. You guys still running there or are all of you goin to Shallote these days? Haven't been down that way in a while, hope all is well your way. Talk is -that you guys may have a chance to run at clover on the concrete, i hope that deal comes through, if it does --- You will see alot more of us nitro guys. Talk to you later dude.
Benjie:thumbsup:
69mkitmine 03-16-2010, 09:37 PM Well.......if you would race the four stroke engines, you wouldn't have to worry about the tank size as much, and then you guys could argue about timing as well. Just having some fun Scott. I certainly know what we have with the brushless right now. We just don't have a track big enough for me to try the slower Nitro stuff around here.
