Default RE: Porting an ABL/ABC Engine


ORIGINAL: proptop

We will find out as more and more people start flying the .60NX, if they have the bugs out of their crankshaft metalurgy.
Bugs? I'll bet they are using the same alloy as the rest of the engine line and the limit of strength has been reached here. To use a more expensive alloy would certainly raise the price of the engine.
This being a chinese engine built to a price point, I doubt they will bother to make a better crankshaft for it. I think it more lkely that a chinese engine running on the edge of failure would more likely be detuned by the mfgr to keep them from failing and having to pay warranty claims.

Just my opinion......
