I can't believe it. I was just getting ready to purchase this motor from Tower (using a gift cert that I have).
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXBZ33&P=7
A-Main only listed the Pull Start version. Tower still has that one also and Tower has the threaded shaft version in 'limited quantities'.
Is OS still producing this motor? Do they have a new version coming out?

Usually when Tower says something is discontinued it really means that they're out of stock and may not be reordering for a while (it was a slow seller or in retail, a dog). Also they may not be carrying the line anymore. So even if they say it's discontinued it may be that Tower will no longer carry the item.
However, it is entirely possible that OS is making some changes in their line of car engines.

I sent an email asking about a replacement for the RG to OS and this was their response: Unfortunately, we are not able to provide any information on future releases or planned future kits.
So, I choose to take that as they do have something to replace the RG. If there was no planned replacement, you would think they would come right out and say it.

O.S. ENGINE
The pullstart version(MAX-21RG(P)-X) is still available from
'www.singahobby.com' @ US175.
The specs. is exactly the same as the non-pullstart version, except the weight is slightly heavier due to the pullstart mechanism.
