I was just on a site and ASP engines are really cheap. I have been told thay are the same as Magnum . Anyone have the scoop on these Engines, If thay are the same as Magnum I would buy one, I have had really good luck with Magnum 4 strokes.

They are the same Magnum is the names used in this country ASP in the UK and Europe I have the 4 stks 30s 52s and1.2 under the ASP label got them for Just engines in the UK also under the SC label too they are all the same engines martin

My SC 46 served me very well despite the abuse I gave it. For me the engine performed like a TT46, the SC is better in the sense that its an ABC whilst the TT is an ABN. I also got an SC80 4C, the engine is okay ... nothing great, no quarrel.

ASP or Magnums are excellent. I own a few and I think its money well spent.

The web site advertising ASP's cheap and the phone numbers had a 516 area code are not up to date. It's just some guy in his house. English is not his best language. Good luck understanding him.

Enjoy,

I got my SC46 for only USD65 whilst a TT46 here is USD90!

What is SC short for? My sister is going to China later in April, and I'm trying to find out what name the Magnum/ASP series engines from Sanye are sold for locally. Anybody have any ideas if she can pick up a couple of engines, what prices should I expect etc?

Thanks,

hello- asp and mags are not the same some of the internal s are different I am try to match up a connecting rod for asp108 silver head mags have a larger crank pin[]

AMB

Erik there are several ASP series the old and the new ARs I am sure it follows for the SCs also that might explain the crank pin thing\

SC stands for Super Custom, the price you pay in China is 50% of US/UK price.

I have never used an ASP engine. None of the people I fly with know anything about it. I just acquired an ASP .25a. It seems to run fine on the bench but when I compare it to my OS .25 everything is different. The ASP recommends a larger prop than the OS. The ASP seems to have more power on the test stand but peaks at 11,000 rpm's ????? The instruction sheet says that 11,000 rpm's is correct. I can't believe there is that much difference between it and my OS which peaks at 19,000 rpm's. If anyone out there has used this engine please e-mail me at [email protected] and let me know what you think about it. Thanks - Walter

Go to the combat/dogfight forums and I think you will find some info on the ASP .25 engine. 11000 seems way to slow for such a small engine (too big prop), I run my ASP 36 at 15500 rpm on the ground. Use the same prop on it as you use on the OS and see what happens

ASP = A lvin S o P roductions; or in marketing speak (as printed on the boxes for the series one engines):

Acceleration
Speed
Performance

Or:

[sm=lol.gif] No, on the contrary. We have alot of newer ASP`s around here and they are great, very powerful and reliable. That they are cheap are just gravy on the steak

I think the 11,000 is a typo. This web page lists the top rpm as 18,000 which sounds right to me:

That's because ASP is up to series 3 in updates you need to know what series you have to get the correct parts
Do you still have the box ?
go on http://www.justengines.unseen.org/ASP.htm
they seem to be the best as far as ASP support

I have a asp 1.08 with a red head. Can anybody tell me what verson or series it is?

My Feedback: (16)

The Red Heads were an earlier series. I had one at one time. I acquired it used but like new in 1999. I think they were from the mid 90's.

My Feedback: (14)

The Redhead 1.08's were good engines IF you didn't burn more than 5% nitro in warm weather. Otherwise they would over heat and quit. They are designed to run in the 9k rpm range and have been known to break crankshafts if pushed hard with nitro and a small prop. Keep the rpm below 10k rpm, use 5% nitro fuel (or less - unless you shim the head) and you have a very servicable engine that will run well for years.

I just picked up an ASP 120 w/o any paperwork...what prop/fuel do they recommend...and how do I know if it is a version "3"?

asmund

If you have the two stroke you might find this thread helpful: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6818063/tm.htm

If you have a fourstroke I would stick with 15% nitro also

What size prop would i use for my 1.08? I am sport flyin

I have two of the red head ASP 108s, and one of the new series 3, a 108. I use an extra head gasket on the two older ones, and an OS 7D carb (which I happened to have from pattern days) which works better when using a Pitts style muffler with low back pressure. I run 15x8 APC props on all three, with 10% Omega fuel, and if I remember correctly, the early ones were turning about 8300-8500 with this set up. They have held up very well, the oldest having been bought in about 1994 or so. The new Series 3 has a fine carb on it, and runs well with the Bisson Pitts muffler. Hope this info is helpful to some of you readers.

Some of the 108 carbs had a removable blue spring steel reducer in them. I had two of them at one time.
