Status: online 		The Megatech engines are imported to this country by AHC. They are actually LEO engines made in China. Leo is an offshoot of Thunder Tiger. But the Leo is tuned a little milder than the Thunder tiger Pro series. You will find that it is down about 200 rpm from the Thunder Tiger. Some series' of the MECOA line of engines are also the same as the Megatech/Leo lines. You will find that the Leo engine in the 40 - 46 sizes are very simular to the OS SF series of engines. In fact the power is much the same and most of the parts will interchange.

The hotest Leo is the .37 with a larger carb in it. It has more power than most 40's. Its in a .25 frame and a real hotrod. You can get them already converted from Just Engines in England. Look them up with Google and it should be the first find. Its something like justengines.unseen.org.

Just E-mail them or call with what you want. Jenny will be very nice to you and they will get the motor out right away. Study the pricing structure a little and do the conversions + shipping. You will be suprised. It's about $13.00 to talk 7 min to the UK though. So I would suggest E-mail.

Enjoy,

Jim

Status: offline 		I just put the Leo (Megatech) .37 on my Magic 3D. All I can say is WOW, this thing really hauls. At 3 Lb. 10 Oz. the vertical is unbelievable. The comment I hear most is "what have you got in that thing". Cost was about $60 including shipping and service from Just Engines was excellent.
