Lets see a GPS rating showing stock and the .28. That would be neat.

Status: offline 		Top speed will not be higher with the big block, it will just get there much faster! The conversion does work out nicely. The 28 also has the E-start that we have become familiar with.

It looks sweet on the Menace, and it looks insane on the Fusion.(All motor!)

Status: offline 		My chevrons are almost bald from the .21. I kept hearing this sqweeling noise this past weekend from the menace while taking off , and i thought i was about to loose a tranny or some gears. Only when i nailed it from a dead stop. After doing it a dozen times or so , i came to the conclusion that it was my tires sqweeling on the concrete Now a bigger block will only mean one thing , MORE Sqweeling

Status: offline 		Thats brave sayng it will get to top speed faster with the .28 big block.

For a start the engine is heavier so its going to take longer to accelarate de accelarate and turn.

I get loads of wheel spin with 30mm foams all around and 15%.

I think the big block conversion for the Fusion is stupid it's the only 10th scae running a .21 as it is.
Would of been better to sell some engine mounts so any .21 engine could be fitted as the thunder tiger .21 has the holes in the wrong places.
Or a modified piston sleave/crank/piston.
Very disapointed. Big waste.

On the other hand a big block for the Menace. Great!

Status: offline 		We offer the motor mounts separately for exactly the purpose you mentioned.

As for the "braveness" statement, we know the test results. The Menace weighs more than the 21 can carry at those speeds. The 28 not only gets it there quicker, but with a higher top speed due to the extra power to pull top gear. Not just logic, but proven in reality.

BTW, who said it made the Fusion have a higher top speed without a gearing change anyway?

We did not pull this conversion out of thin air. Customer requests are the reason this kit came to be.

Why the negativity about options that you may not want, but others do? Aren`t the options one of the great aspects of the hobby?

What if Chevy didnt make a Z06 , What if Ford didnt make the Cobra ! This is only an option given to people who want more and fact is that people crave power and speed !

Status: offline 		Some people like .21s and some people like .28s. Each to their own. I prefer .28s because I like to smoke tyres and power out of bends with the back end hanging out! Others prefer .21s for their top end power and economy. But whatever you decide to buy it is your choice and the view of others can be used to assist your decision but their views should not be forced upon you.

Its not all about top speed, for me its about the way the vehicle drives as well as how fast it is. Some people love F1, some people love Rallying. I love Ralling because of the way they throw the cars around on whatever surface they are on.

My point is, I think this big block kit is a great idea as it gives people like me and many others a choice. Do we want a tight neat car or do we want a wild and crazy car?!! Wild and crazy for me please!!

Status: offline 		That AC/ Shelby Cobra was a 7.0 litre car in 1960's it could d a quater mile in 12.3 seconds

AC/Shelby Made a car in 2000 with an engine 3.5 litres that could almost post the same time.

Nobody apart from hutchy bee has a .28 in there fusion put it that way. And all he likes doing is smoking tyres. you can smoke tyres and get the back hanging out with a .21 so his reasons are pointless.

You can modify a .21 and a .28. but you need less horse power from a .28 for it to be faster. Also it will be faster no matter what because of the laws of inertia.

The companys that produce the engines make .28's for trucks not onroad it's totally pointless to have 1. Unless it's custom.

Is the Kyosho Inferno GT a truck? Whoever made the engine doesnt care what it is used for, they just want to sell it!! So Kyosho bought it and put it in AN ON ROAD CAR!

Just in case you dont know what an Inferno GT looks like....

If it was only me that liked crazy cars would they really design one just for me???

Oh my gosh!! I have found more people that like TRUCK ENGINED CARS!

My point! What you like is what you like and what I like is what I like. I am not wrong, you are not wrong WE ARE JUST DIFFERENT!

I am so impressed at how easy these motors are to set, And these motors make power all the way through the power band. I am looking for a plane with a thunder tiger motor, and I think thunder tiger makes a trainer. I hope Schumacher reads our threads and see's how well pleased we are with thier choice of power. Nitrohead 5300 , My man thier is nothing like the smell of a two stroke in the morning !

Groundman,

I know the rules and follow them. i havent insulted anyone It's nitrohead and hutcheybee throwing the insults.

The fact is a .21 is a racing engine and a .28 is an inferior truc.

The Thundertiger .21 motor in stock trim is not a racing engine, it is a sport engine. And just because a motor is a truck motor does not make it an inferior motor.

Now all we need is a big block kit for the Rascal!

P.S: Hey lightfoot! Darth Vader man!
