Status: online 		These look like a nice engine but couldn't find anything bigger than an F-91S 4 stroke. I found a 120 2 stroke in the Pro Series but not in a 4 stroke. Anyone running these 4 strokes? What is your opinion of these engines?

I thought I was having engine trouble with it at one point, and I even posted a thread here about having trouble starting the engine. It turned out to be due to the spinner backplate being stripped out.

Based on my experiences thus far with my F-91s, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the F-75s or the F-54s when the need and opportunity arises.

The TT75 FS is a very cool lookin engine but my OS 56a FS is doing over 10,000 with APC 13x6 on just 10% nitro!

Status: offline 		You can find good pricing and availability at:

www.thundertiger4u.com

www.infinitehobbies.com

Both resellers ship orders for free, Infinite Hobbies will ship orders $100 or higher for free while thundertiger4u.com will ship orders $150 or higher for free.

Tower Hobbies carries the F-54s for $199.99, which isn't much of a bargain. If you're a Super Saver Club member, however, you can use coupon code 011YG to get $30 off any order of $199 or more and free shipping. A Thunder Tiger F-54s delivered to your front door for $169.99 including shipping isn't too bad.

Thundertiger4u.com has the F-75s for $169.99 delivered while Infinite Hobbies sells it for $174.99. Infinite Hobbies has the best price on F-91s engines, however, with a delivered price of $184.99.

I've purchase from all of these dealers on previous occassions, and have been happy on all occassions.

Any local hobby store that carries Thunder Tiger and/or Ace Hobby products can order these engines for you:

TTR9800 - F-54s
TTR9801 - F-91s
TTR9802 - F-75s

Just give your lhs the part number and they should be able to order right up for you.

Status: online 		Thanks for the info guys. As far as engines go, it's kinda like planes as well. I've had the Laser 200, all flavors of the Extra's, YAK 54, etc. I had all kinds of OS engines, Saito, ST, etc. I really like the OS 120AX. I'm just looking for something different in the Thunder Tiger engines. New toys are always good .

Status: online 		Most of the sites I buy from don't carry this engine such as Chief Aircraft, Tower, Horizon, etc. Where is a good reputable site to get the F-75s ? I've noticed that the prices differ a lot depending on where you look.

Status: offline 		Thundertiger4U is, I believe, the US distributor's site. When I bought my two 75's shipping was very quick and I had them in my hand in two days. (They're not far from where I live) I, too, like RadicalRC, I've bought batteries from them in the past. They don't list the 75, but do show the 54 and 91, at excellent prices. I suppose a call could clear that up.
