I'm just curious here, other than Evolution, what other decent brands of gas engines resemble that of a glow engine.

MVVS, Roto, and BME's gas version of the ST 90.

Thanks, Just sort of looking for an alternative to the EVo35gt.

TrollMaster,


Evolution and MVVS gas engines are the same.

The Evo is made by MVVS for Horizon Hobbies, where it is sold under the Evolution name-tag.


MVVS makes the 26 and the 35 cc engine in gas and in glow versions.

They share most parts, with the exception of the head, the con-rod (gas version have needle bearings) and the ignition parts.


The glow version can have the Walbro carburettor, as an alternative to its normal #3215 carburettor.

Why? The Evolution 35GT is a fine engine.

Nothing negative here, just seeing whats available.

Ahh Ed, the things some folks want is sometimes beyond us.

I'm a beginner Nitro engine. Can someone tell me where can I purchase Nitromethane, Methanol and Castor oil. I really like to mix my own mixture.


Thanks

It might be better if you post this on the glow forum.

Specom,


You might be on the right track, but only if you:

1. Don't call them 'nitro engines' because this is a term incorrectly used by stupid 'newbies' who don't know better, mostly in R/C cars, because it sounds more 'explosive' than the correct term - glow engines, or methanol engines.
These engines can all run well without any nitromethane whatsoever in the fuel, but not even for one second if the fuel doesn't include a fair amount of methanol, on which the plug's continued glow depends, due to methanol's catalytic reaction with the platinum in its coil.

2. As Karol wrote, you must post this in the 'Glow Engines' forum...
