OK, as you all know I am new to the nitro world. The only nitro engine I ever owned before now is the precious cox .049
My truck has the SH .07 CPX engine in it. I found a .12 engine.
My question is:
Is the .12 engine ALMOST twice as powerful as the .07 engine?

Like I said, I am new to this. I do know the bigger the number, the bigger the engine right?
So if it was a .14, then it would be exactly twice as powerful?

no, bigger displacement does not neccesarilly mean more power, for example a good .18, the os cvr has a claimed horsepower of 1.45 while the smaller .12 tz has 1.6 horsepower (it also revs higher)

what retard said is correct, the sh .o7 is a decent mini engine there are better ones like the picco .08.
OK, I'm starting to understand things now. Kinda sounds like the full-size automotive stuff.
Thanks again!
