hello bsmooth

i talked to RODY this morning and the engines should be available in another week or two, we have had released alot of new engines since the toy fair in germany and are just trying to keep up with it all.

the pricing is not set in stone yet so i do not want to open up my mouth on it but what i can tell you is this

according to Rody the engine block has been beefed up, similar to the MSC (massive stiff case) design on all of our nova based engines.

the rear main bearing will be ceramic instead of steel, the carburator is aluminum and not composite and thats basically it. i have asked about a modified version of the engine but have not heard anything back on that one yet.

the engine from what i hear is just stupid fast, cant say its faster than the old xenonr, but with the new upgrades to the engine its surely going to be a competitor at the big races.
