Well then maybe there was a misunderstanding. The engine in the video the guy asked about is the rule, not the exception. That is how nitro engines work. The exceptions are for ex Traxxas RTR engines, by many accounts, and some of the cheaper low-level stuff. My point was just that you can get a good, easy-to-tune nitro engine for an MT with good power for a good price, and IT'S NOT HARD. I keep seeing people say that - or things to that effect ("requires lots of maintenance", etc..), and it's just not true. Unless maybe you're buying the wrong stuff. But then that applies to everything in RC.
