amazing!!!according to the specs it should have more low end power..
any translation to english would help...
does it have ceramic ball bearings like the spec 2?
is the head magnesium?

whatever , this must be a very good engine

I just started clicking on stuff and one of the characters at the bottom of the page shows the engine internals. VERY NICE! Balanced crank, sleeve porting, intersting cooling head design, and rear bearing looks ceramic although can't tell for sure. That page is tough to translate. I tried Babel fish and it didn't work. I think because it's mostly a flash style website. Looks like a really nice motor.

i tried to translate it as well , with no result due to the flash player...
any dealers yet?...
i think it's too soon..
i tried pro-shop futaba and rc-mushroom with no luck..i guess till next month the engine will be in stock...

i looked into the pics as well...i don't see many things changed from the spec 2 tz

the crancshaft seems improved and balanced
the head seems to be aluminum but with holes for loss of weight
piston and sleeve look to me like the same as the speed 2 tz
rear bearing is absolutely ceramic!

so if things are like that , we have a spec 2 with a better crancshaft"(very important),better head which means better engine cooling ,so we'll wait to learn about the piston / sleeve difference to find out the overall imorovent.

i hope they finally changed that rod!!!
i' ll get myself one for sure!!!

Is this the motor that the new Ninja engine is based on?

i have heard about the Ninja cooperation with OS but i can't tell for sure whether the new Ninjas or not would have the spec 3 xz as base engine design , or the spec 2...we'll see

There are a few online shops have them now.
HaBao Shop: http://www.hobaoshop.com/catalog/pro...0a3c9e18788927
Pro-Shop Futaba: http://www.pro-s-futaba.co.jp/store/...112XZ&x=10&y=8
F-Sango: http://www.f-sangyo.co.jp/shop/goods...=4531028019683 (3,748 yen cheaper than Pro-Shop Futaba).

F-Sango says "There is “a ○” stock." Since this just came out, I doubt anyone actually has them in stock yet.

wether they have it or not in stock . the links help in order to see about the cost which , i'm very happy to see that it's about the same as the spec 2!!!

thanks for the links

do you know f sango email?

They only sell inside Japan
