RC Engines

It's truly amazine what kind of engines are available to the RC modeling guys.

The engine pictured is a five cylinder four-stroke radial engine. It produces four horsepower at 8,000 RPM while weighing less than six pounds.

There are many other cool engines. This flat four weighs even less, and makes the same power. It doesn't look quite as sexy, though.

Then we have the two-strokes. They make tons of power and rev to insane RPMs while weighing less yet. This engine makes 4.8 horsepower, revs to 25,000 RPM (that's twenty-five thousand) and weighs less than two pounds.

Can't leave out the outboards. This one just looks so cool.

I'll take one of each, please.
