When bikes went from air to water cooling it was a big leap forward .
I had very little problems with my 4 stroke bikes...I raced 14 years...6 of those years were at pro level. In a gate of 40 there were no two strokes...
I know there is very little money in development in the R/C scene...but It would be nice to see a manufacture step outside the box instead of copying each others designs.
Wouldn't a split case, reed design be cheaper to make??
4 stroke...yeah i know..thats a far reach...but I bet every competitive racer would have one.
