That part is very tough and not easily broken the stinger.

Hi Dino,

Actually me and some friends at our club buys STS stuffs online (overseas) they are much cheaper.

These are good engines.

Actually if we buy off Calandra Racing (and for the price they're quoting). . we might as well buy Italian engines

ps : keep up the good work !!

Sorry, promised to 777 not disclosing any internal until he told me so, but I can tell you it has different modified concept in it. Stay tune, test result will post it after Sunday meeting.

Sure. That can be done. Hey Tommy, can you remove the clutch and flywheel and snap a pic of the end of the crankshaft for us.

But we still poor.

No people wanna try Taiwanese engine because they still believe that they got how they pay for!So...How can you reprove them for going up in price?food for thought(the new phrase which I just learnt form here)...
i dont mind products made in other countries. i know futaba has stuff manufactured in china and taiwan and for me their servos are great. i did have a bad experience with one of their sport radio system and it sounds like the 3PK has some issues too.

point being is if quality control is high and people can see its a great product is well supported (winning races, word of mouth, etc.), then people may switch from overpriced novas, o.s. etc. to STS engines. for me as a consumer i buy what i trust even if i do have to pay a premium. and a manufacturer has to earn that.
