T. Hobbies might sell them but I don't think people will want to pay much attention to what they have to say about parts and service. In another thread it was noted that T. Hobbies stated a 10-32 bolt fit the crank center for a spinner bolt on a DLE 55. That was plain wrong, and could be dangerous for the person that used that information as accurate.

You missed my point completely in the earlier post. It's not that the DLE 30 is not powerful because it is. It's not that the DLE 30 isn't light becuase it is for it's size. it's not that the DLE 30 isn't relatively cheap compared to other engine because it does cost less than others. It's what an engine can do by which it is ultimately judged. An engine is judged by the power it can provide in watts per litre and the DLE 30 is not the strongest, regardless of hp numbers quoted from manufacturer advertising.

The DLE 30 is a good engine with no arguement but lets get to making honest statements instead of unsubstantiated ones. The DLE 30 has the potential to become the best and strongest engine in class but it's not there yet. Until then be satisfied with having plenty of power for the intended purpose in a light package at a good price. Don't go head to head with a well tuned 28i and expect to win the contest though.
