RE: gasoline powered engine
There's a bunch of 1/5 and 1/6 FG stuff out there with 26cc engines, but they'll run you about a grand, and I believe they are rear-wheel-drive only. I also doubt they make the 4-5 HP that large nitro engines can produce. [X(]

RE: gasoline powered engine
When you get into gas engines, power is far more focused on torque than HP. And please please please show me a notro engine that produces 4-5hp (for a car/truck, plane engines don't count
)

RE: gasoline powered engine
its blurry; but the .46 motors claim 5hp; but typicly those have absolutely no top end whatsoever. the RPMs just arent there, forget about power at high RPMs.
2hp at 30,000RPM>5hp at 10,000RPM. gearing changes everything.
2hp at 30,000RPM>5hp at 10,000RPM. gearing changes everything.
