TeeKuang,

From what I know, these conversion kits are meant for .90 size engines and above and they are meant for airplane engines. Unless your intended application is for airplanes then it is feasable. Furthermore, the conversion kit I know cost around Rm1000+.

Fitment of the spark plug would be the other challange assuming you intend to fit it onto a .21 or .28 engine.

I do agree with you that petrol powered cost a lot less. I had a 26cc petrol powered boat before(see my avatar) and with RM2 of petrol can last the whole day of bashing.

I had this idea too during my heli flying days when my nitro .90 engine heli burns up about 500cc of 30% nitro fuel in slightly over 10 minutes.

Not discouraging you or anything but just my two cents.


OM

Hi friends
These conversion kits for petrol RC cars
are meant for .90 size engines and above and they are meant for airplane engines. Unless your intended application is for airplanes then it is feasable. Furthermore, the conversion kit I know cost around Rm1000+.

Regards
Sid
