YS 60sr for N5c?
« on: January 03, 2015, 04:30:59 PM »
I am in the process of searching for an engine for my N5c. I have found a used YS 60sr setup for a reasonable price. I have been reading a lot of posts about people having tuning issues with the YS 60 and blowing pistons. Would the YS 60 be a bad choice for a reliable easy to tune setup? I have been looking for a decently priced OS 55HZ-r but have not been able to find anything yet.

I have never owned a ys60, or an os 55, but from what I hear, the ys 60 is harder to tune. I have several friends who have had them, and they say the ys motors in general are harder to tune. Funny you asked this, I just had this conversation with a few of my friends the other day.

Hi,

The simplicity and reliability of the OS 55 HZ series of engine (Standard HZ and HZ-R) is very good and i have had nothing but good results from these engines.

I can't personally comment on the YS 60SR but from experience of others use of the engine it is a reliable engine when tuned but it is a little bit more tricky to get tuned properly so experience of YS tuning is an advantage.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Ross

Ok, thanks for the replies. It sounds like the OS is the way to go.

I have owned all of the above.  OS50, OS55HZ and HZ-R, YS56 and YS60.  The YS60 was hands down the roughest to tune.  After blowing it up twice in one season I went with the OS55HZ-R and i have had no issues.  Tuning is tuning and if you can get the YS60SR tuned it pulls HARD, but I think the OS55 is the better all around engine.

A lot of personal bias there of course, but just my findings.

I just picked up a brand new OS 55hz and a Power Boost II pipe on the Heliproz 50% off sale!! I'm now a happy camper. The N5c should be up and flying by early next week  :D

Wow, nice!  Sucks that they're going out of business but I did buy a new DX6 for 25% off last week.

The 55 has been great as well as the heli. I'm working on getting everything dialed in. I'm very happy with the decision to build a nitro.
