New gen motors will have brushless starters, brushless pumps, ECUs on the motor, internal sensors and valve, bus type protocol and digital vs analog.
FYI your motor is listed with a XICOY V10 ECU, which is no longer produced and outdated. Specifications have nothing to do with the quality and technology used to produce them so don't confuse that when talking about old vs new.
Cheers, good luck
Actually you are incorrect, the size of this engine is not the largest in the class. It is actually in the middle as for size (diameter being in the middle, the length being the longest but you also have to take into consideration of the exhaust cone) and for the weight of the engine it includes the weight of everything, engine+control box. Some brands don’t state wether it’s included in all up weight. And to look at the consumption I have asked to do tests at max rpm so we will see. But like i said before if you look at the comparison with all the other stuff it shows that this engine can hold its own in many of the categories especially the 210. But thanks for your comment it’s appreciated.
