Jeez calm down boy, he wasn't implying anything except for were glad we don't live in a city where you have to go downtown and pay for parking to get a quart of nitro fuel. You must be angry....but I can see why.

Learning to read what people write helps understand the meaning of their statement. Settle down!

Appology accepted.

Do they have an exploded view or anything more on this engine? I'm guessing it's designed like a nitro other than the ignition system.

If its not a ringed engine ill be pretty disappointed. needle bearing big end would be nice too, but i doubt that

I see their is alot of 8cc heli engines out there, guessing the platform is based off those

Naw man, it don't work like that, move the F on like they have Petty up the board over BS like that? Are you kidding me?!?!


I think if they get this thing close to a .28 that is a great start & hopefully aftermarket companies work with the system to offer better engines in the future, its got to start somewhere.

In my experience this new engine will be a lot slower to get up and go than the nitro engines. I will personally guarantee this. The rpm range on this engine 10,000 to 15,000 less rpm than a nitro in .28 to .30 sizes. More torque and horse power for sure but that is it. I've had the small airplane 2-strokes in my cars and the 4-strokes as well. The nitros are still faster rpm wise but the new hpi engine will have more power and torque but way less speed.

I dont doubt it wont be a picco or anything, but I think it has potential. I too have experience with nitro 4stroke engines and cars, or buggy rather, and wasn't really disappointed. wasn't insanely powerful but would easily keep up with a 2 stroke half its size

I agree with you also. This is a great start....What I really would like to know is....Will other manufacture's jump on board and begin to release petrol engines like these?
