Hi chaps,
First of all thanks to all who helped in my earlier posting on finding a good 60 sized trainer. My next question is obviously a good motor to go with it. Am aware that an O.S. or YS or similar would be great but what about these ones?
Tower Hobbies .61 Ball Bearing ABC Schnuerle & Muffler
GMS .61 BB Ringed w/Muffler
SuperTigre G-61 ABC w/Muffler
Trying to see if some economy would go wrong.
Thanks very much
If the Tower 61 (made by GMS ) is anything like their 46, you will have plenty of power, HOWEVER you will have a multitude of other problems - air leaks, poor idle, poor transition. The majority of these problems can be corrected with time, determination and some silicone. If you want the aggravation, go for it. Do a search here on TH and Tower Hobbies engines and form your own decisions.
I have not heard anything negative about the Super Tigre engines.
If you want something good in an economy engine, I would look at Thunder Tiger and Evolution engines. I have both brands and have not had a bit of trouble with either one. One alleged advantage to the EVO engine is that they are broke in and pre set at the factory.
Hope this helps.
