http://www.actionmodelisme.com/produ...id_product=547 seems like its available BUT the photos are not updated.. so is this the engine sold on this web page now..? will i get this engine you have shown here if i was to order both engine and exhaust system.

id love if you would take photos of the internals of the engine.. in detail.. im sure many will be curious.. and would help when considering this as a purchase..

I thought that ATOM give me new photos but it seem I must take it myself if I want update the website.

The 2015 version of the VORTEX with some updates will be available in middle of january.

1 - the burn room has been modified to advance the ignition timing.
2 - the conrod has been changed completely with a different stroke length and a single copper bushing insert.
3 - the sleeve has been modified to change the intake and exhaust timing
to increase the high speed limit. The stroke of piston has been changed to
increase life expectancy and to increase the oil retention ability on the surface
of the sleeve and the micro-grooves are increased for an additional oil content.
4 - to maintain a higher degree of stability of the carburetor, the High Speed
Needle has been modified.
5 - the cooling head color has been slightly modified.

+1 on the internal pics.

Is that price right $200 euro, thats about $300 AU I Thought it would be much cheaper.

i would of thought that the engine would be at most 250.. but being that it does come with exhaust 300 may just be reasonable.. dont you think..

€200 ink. pipe for a decent engine nowadays is good. Glad to see it if it's true. You can't really equate prices based solely on exchange rates anyway.

agreed..
