RE: NEW ENGINE IDEA!
That is a very good point, so the weed eater engines need to be geared anywhere form 50% to twice as high to make teh same speed as our expensive $150+ RC gasser engines.
Gearing up to compensate for lost RPMs is one thing, the next question would be if these non-RC engines even have teh torque to turn much higher gears and still reach their 9000 RPM max RPMs/
