But some people love them...
I don't remember Fantom #model of engine, but it is .15, black case, side exhaust, non-pul start, it looks exactly the same as Tamia .15 (flat cooling head), HPI .15 FE and OS .15 tr. Sleeves, pistons, cranckshafts-all parts are indentical and can be use in mix. LOL. It seems all those engines came from the same "building"-all of them 3 ports, side exhaust, no one has buster port on the case (only on sleeve), and all of them after similar mods working the same (actualy pretty good). On Tamia 235 mm chasis (don't remember car name) are running 50-52 MPH (checked with radar on the KZ track). All of them very reliable and last long and all of them ABN. Pretty interesting engines.
