OS Max .10 Modified, with Turbo Plug
This is the end result of everything we could think of to soup up an OS Max .10 FP. This includes the addition of a turbo plug and the use of a standard, (for this engine) 7 X 4 black Tornado prop.
The 16K top end, it must be remembered, is with a prop that's one size smaller than the prop used for the previous runs.

Turbo plugs are made for the RC car engines. They have a tapered seat at the plug bottom instead of using a copper gasket at the top of the threads. Any hobby shop that carries RC cars will do the trick.
