Those are awesome! I cant wait till some videos of these things come up. I may have to try one... I knew they were coming out, just hadnt seen pictures till now. Ill be anxious to see how the power is. The fuel costs would be the big thing id like.

Yes that engine is gonna be awesome.
Caddiman, don't know where you get your info from. I know 110% this motor will make it to production. Yeah sure car companies are always making concept cars to boost their PR and get out there with cool stuff that they and we know they will never make. Do you really find it that much of a long shot for HPI to come out with their own gas engine?
Trust me they have pallets of those bad boys, they didn't photoshop their name on there and they did not produce just one lol.

I don't think this is real. Too many things look wrong in the picture.
Things seen at the Nurnberg show havent always been released.

Looks pretty realistic to me?
Regardless, it would be a huge step forward for the fuel burning crowd and id love to see these make it to production. It could be a game changer in so many ways...

Debbie Downer in the house tonight.....
Is there a reason you are trolling me on threads about posting proof? Look boy that was settled like I had stated, I did however post about it in the wrong spot. Issue was settled after I posted, money back and engine will be back on Thursday via UPS. Thanks for asking about it....I appreciate the care.

I like how they put the throttle servo right off the engine on the XL, and the gas tank in the middle of the tvps.

It cant be fake with all the different sites reporting on it. Just seen an article on yet another site but Im not allowed to post links yet.
All you elitest Nitro heads saying Nitro isnt hard is either exactly what I say, elitest, or ignorant. How many people have bought Nitro cars and not been able to start them and then take them back to the shops? I have lost count and see it pretty much most months on forums.
You can call them stupid or whatever but the point remains if people become dissheartened then its not good for the hobby is it?
In 07 I had pull start Hyper ST and a Savvy, and they were both great and quite easy to get going and break in. However, when I bought my Losi 8ight, sweet jesus that thing took me 2 days and around 9 hours to get going! I am hardly a newbie but I admit I am no seasoned veteran either.
Therefore if this engine makes it easaier for people, then more people will stick with the hobby and surely that is nothing but a good thing? If it doesnt accellerate as quick as Nitro - so what. The vets can stick with their £300 plus Rossi engines - but the point is for new people into the sport, an easy engine is nothing but great news and I hope it takes off therefore bringing more people into the hobby.
