We have not measured and compared top speeds, but at the Brazilian Nationals, it was possible to judge by naked eye that our engines had an edge over the competition there. Looking forward to see this engine used around the globe...
Thanks, it's good to hear that you were able to judge the difference with the naked eye! That pretty much confirms what I've felt which is that we are on the right path as far as performance and top speed with our new GT engine. It's going to be interesting to hear the feedback that we start to get from the rest of the world once these start getting out there. Samples are heading to our importer in Australia for testing now and the engines are already in stock at A-main Hobbies and being set up in the system for sales as we speak. So they should start getting out here in the US in the next few weeks also
