Default RE: honda 4 stroke in a 1/5th scale?

Two Strokes: Ignites each cylinder for every single Revolution

4 Strokes: Ignites each cylinder once every two revolutions.

The two stoke might not be as efficient as a 4 stroke, but it doesn't have a wasted unproductive revolution for each power producing revolution.

Also, you can design a 2 stroke for low end torque, but more often they are designed for high end power.

A 2 stroke air cooled motocross engine has a lot more low end torque than a 2 stroke watercooled TT engine of the same size.
