Can anyone tell me if RCS 1.4 with the rear exhaust is still available for sale. RC Showcase still advertises this model, as late as in the December issue of RCM but it is not offered at their website. Can this engine be purchased somewhere else? All information is greatly appreciated.
Yes they sell 140re
