What's up with OS?...
I'm looking for a new standard shaft motor for my HPI super nitro, and was really suprised when I logged into towers site.....there are only 7 or 8 i OS engines being offered,very few 12's...no CVr 18's or TZ's with standard shaft, no 5 port tz12....very little selection.......
Anyone know of a NPS std shaft engine?...

Don't know.
A three port TZ is a strong motor. Don't let the port count fool you.
It might be worth looking into a clutch upgrade that uses pilot shafts. It's getting harder and harder to find full race standard shaft motors.
They should have a new .12 soon. I think they are calling it the XZ.

it's too bad there are no clutch upgrades for the rs 4's...( even the OFNA nut is a PIA...)...
the TZ is SG only.....

There's bound to be a way. Don't know without looking at it though.

if you want it with rotary, get the pull version plus the backplate, cut the pin on the shaft with a dremel and you should be ok, for a total of 190
either way it is cheaper that getting the 12 tz and makind nps stad shaft slide or rotary!
good luck

I guess that OS decided to discontinue some of their engines due to poor sales. A lot of the current kits are designed for use with pilot shaft engines (which is mostly a good thing), so maybe the chance to sell an engine with a standard crank is reduced to the point where it doesn't make sense to produce them. I have to imagine that you can find one on eBay. They're excellent engines, but maybe the one you're looking for isn't popular anymore.
