I have one of the Evolution 61 engines and it runs well with lots of power. I have an FX61 as well but I think the E engine has more power! Its also less money and looks cool!

I am gonna buck the system here. MVVS 61, no doubt. Has power out the gazzoo. Runs great on low or no nitro fuel. Works well with or without a pipe. Rock solid construction. What's not to like?

Don't buy a .61. Get a .75 or .91 in the same case. Same weight, same mounting holes, same muffler mounts, just more rpm on the same prop or turn a bigger prop. Tower .75, GMS .76, Magnum .91XLS, OS .91FX.

Would you buy a ball bearing .40 or go for the .46? Why buy a .61?

'Cause a K&B .61 will outperform the .40-.46 with little or no weight penalty. If it fits (and it usually does), I'll use it in .40-size planes every time. And the .61 twist flat kicks.
