One time I was told a Fox engine was only good for a fishing weight. My experience with Fox engines, or motors Duke called them has been very good. Why? My club buddies call me the Fox/Super Tiger wizard. Perhaps that is a better name than some of the ones used to describe me. (I also have the title of club president) I like all engines. Have been lucky enough to have pretty good service out of all of them. I find the old Fox engines out last the newer "other brand" engines and I have often wondered why they have such a bad reputation. Fox engine have good power and after set up right they stay set up.
Maybe it would be a good time for us old nitro guys to revisit Fox engines. I have witnessed some real disappointments in recent moths with some of the engine that were considered very good. Even my Super Tigers are not what they once were. There is a lot of folks that say nitro is dying out. I think not. Made in the USA like nitro may just make a come back.
