RE: are u fed up with your zen /cy how about this
Replica Engines IRL (Indy Racing League) Aurora is without question the most ambitious offering to date. The full size engine is a proven winner at the Indianapolis 500 finishing 1, 2, and 3 in the field of 35 in 1999.
The 1/4 size engine is accurate visually as well as mechanically and will be limited to 100 engines. The initial run of 25 engines should be delivered late this year at $5500.00 each. The projected price for the remaining 75 engines will be about $7200.00.
A 10% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your order.

I don't think anyone is fed up with Zenoah engines..
But anyways...you must be Bill Gates son or brother to have that engine in your RC car...or ...you don't have a wife.

RE: want something diffrent to power your truck
Why would someone put a $5500 motor in a $1200 rc truck ??[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
Even if I was B.Gates son , brother or any other relative, I wouldnt wanna waste money like that. U couldnt re-sell it, who would buy such a project no matter how much realism went into it!
$5500- replica motor
$1200- 1/5th scale truck
$2000- (misc. up-grades)
$8700-TOTAL Who has roughly $8500 to spend on an rc ??? Certainly not me a hard working 9-5er with wife & kids ! ! ! ! !

It's something to admire rather than use on a regular basis. The pride of ownership and respect for the effort involved in production justifies the price.
I could afford it but it'd mean no nookie for a few weeks at least.
