New RCGF 30cc Twin engine
Tested the new RCGF 30cc twin, and i'm very pleased with this little engine.
It turns 18x6 to 19x8 props , runs great and really really sweet engine.

Best regards

Very nice. I really am not a huge fan of RCGF but I do like this little twin. I was reading the manual and it calls for regular gas or Coleman fuel with octane boost.

That was on BP's product page
What you will need to run the engine: Fuel - Use Regular 87-90 octane Gasoline or Coleman Fuel with octane boost (sorry we do not sell fuel) mixed with 2 cycle oil. Use ashless NON-Synthetic oil for break in.

I just bought one and it is much nicer than VV40cc and I had a VV40cc.
The rcgf 30cc comes with a single bolt prop hub too. The craftsmanship much nicer than vv40cc and not one issue with it.

Just received my RCGF 30 twin, I am in the process of mounting it on the firewall of a H9 Super Cub. I pulled the carb off and did not install the plug caps yet, but it fits ok. Looks like the only interferance from the carburetor is the mounting screws, a couple of metric pan heads may do it. The mufflers fit inside the cowl without a problem, I will cut the pipes to fit the cowl line.
So far the only cutting to the cowl will be for the exhaust exits. I will attach photos when complete.

I just bought another one of this motor.Can anyone look at there motor and rotate completely around and check for pistons come up and down evenly only way it can be off is that the crank is not centered correctly across from each other like a twist in the crank. When they pressed the crank together they didn't get it lined up exactly across from each other. if the crank has a slight twist it will have more unwanted vibration. waiting on warranty now and replacement. ANYONE>
my pistons are off like a thickness of a ring. one ring you can see and the other piston is farther up the cylinder where you cant see the ring. so there is something wrong with the crank.

well after 3 I gave up the pistons don't come up same time the crank is twisted when they make them quality control not good. Only if dle made a 30cc twin. I had the DLE 40cc twin and it was perfect. They never refunded my shipping fees ether bad customer support.
Plus the exhaust port on one cylinder was not flat it had a milling problem and they said it was normal but the other cylinder was flat so I sold it and gave up and out of time and 100 bucks worth of shipping back for warranty.
Every motor had a problem. for 400 bucks it should be mint like a dle 40 twin
I bought one from hobbyking when they 1st came out and it was perfect but quality control is bad.
Hobbyking appears to be the same motor . I had 2 from them and 3 from RCGF, hobbyking was better quality
