My g260 says G260RC, so i would assume the RC means something in the mounts are different.

Check to make sure but the only difference I think is the hook up on the carburetor.

Now that you mention that I'm pretty sure your right, when I ordered mine from there that was one of the options I had to choose.

Yes, well pointed out savagecommander. While they are the same TYPE of engine, the HPI branded 'Fuelies', are CY engines. They are not as good as the real Zenoahs, but are still good engines. Once you start adding ported headkits etc, they begin to equalise. In my own personal opinion, for all round use, low end and top end, a stock Zenoah G260RC with a torquey pipe is pretty hard to beat unless you are prepared to spend a lot more money on professional porting jobs etc, and guess what engine is used for most of those pro porting jobs? That's right, the Zen.
