Why do we want a 2 wheel drive stadium truck engine when we buy an on road racing engine? I like the Plus 2 engine, but not the marketing associated with it. I don't know how many people can pay $500 or more for one .12 engine. Maybe they can sell the off road engine that comes with it and recuperate some of the $. Probably not much though. :rolleyes:

yes,
and the cranckshaft is also the same, but frontbearing and crankcase is another. they have take the cheaper cranckshaft from the plus 12-3 sct to get more money. i think the aadversed cranckshaft is more expensive to built. i have write to the german novarossi distrubiutor, to chance the engine in the right one. dieter |
