Default 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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y11seECaYXw Tittle of the video is now edited but have a mistake, is NOT a 20cc, is a 30cc (two 15cc cylinders)
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.

Price is a bit high in my opinion. The VVRC 40 is $399 and the XYZ 53 is $358. Doesn't seem like the price is competitive.

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.

Anyone thinking of putting this in a H9 Super Cub? Was wondering if it would fit inside the cowl without cutting clearance for the plug caps.

Problem is BP does not warranty this engine, unless you do the work and even then the parts is iffy.

I never in 35 years had to do any warranty work on any motor I had.I am lucky maybe. I do have my motor up 4 sale though for 250 shipped NIB.

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.

What is the dimension of this engine to the outside of the spark caps? Length to the cylinder head tops is shown at 6.3, but that isn't very useful.

I'm interested in the little twin, but a little skeptical after the posts with the rings not tracking the same in both cylinders. Was this a random flaw, or are they all like this.

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

We're they all from HK. The guy selling them in the market place says his are genuine and the HK ones are copies. Did they run good at least. I thinking if this for a scale application.
