afm, the first batch of .12's and the one that Car Action dyno tested was the production LCM engine. This engine comes with the modified sleeve with tear drops on the transfers (like JP or NovaMax) but without the additional massaging of the hand modified motors. You get about 90% of the performance of a hand mod motor at a significantly reduced price and with 1.6hp should smoke anything else out there! For the true horse power junkies we will be releasing the hand modified engines in a couple of months but these will be realy limited production motors.
Just to give you some specs on the LC12Pro3 I courtesy of Nitro!
Peak Torque 58 oz-in
Peak Torque at 19,600 RPM
Peak HP 1.6
Peak HP at 33,700 RPM
Max RPM 41,000
This is with 20% nitro fuel!
For you switching over from the EFRA to the IFMAR style engine will show a noticable increase in power and I think that you will be impressed. Regarding where to get the engines in Florida try contacting Superior Hobbies.
According to Steve Ponds the pipe used was a 2 piesce NovaRossi 51602 with 1/2" gap between the manifold and pipe.
Thanks a lot Ron!!!!!
