RE: OS or Epic .18 Engine in MT2?
I tested three engines this weekend in the MT2 truck chassis to see how they would perform. They are the Megatech Q1.6, Ofna Red Head and the Ofna Hyper .12. The chassis was set up with the 11/14 bell and the 2.2 speed hawg street tires. The Q1.6 was a disappointment (not the 1.6 hp as advertised-more like .9 hp). The Red Head was okay and ran as expected matching the expectancy factory rating of .75 hp. The Ofna Hyper 12 was a total surprise! It performed close to the power of the OS CVRX18! I find that by switching out the stock CEN battery box with one from an Ofna Pirate 10, the linkage set-up was much easier as it provide much more space to set up for either a slide or rotary carb. I will be trying the new CEN 18 next when I can find one at a good price.
