Default Again, what engine do I have?

I know some people ask questions like this pretty often. But this one is harder than it looks, I can't seem to get any info on my engine. I have an RTR swift and it has the original engine, that is supposed to be an SH .21. The engine looks like the one in the picture but it has a Blue (bigger) head on it. I still don't think my engine is a .28 like it says on the website. Besides, people says that the SH .21 is weak, and in the website is says it has like 3.5 hp, that's crazy, I don't think it has that much if it comes as an RTR. Ok, thanks for helping.

I know, that 3.5 hp seems like a lot to me for that engine. Anyone else? I'm guessing it has like 2 - 2.4 hp, but it does have a lot of torque.

I couldn't find HP ratings anywhere onthat site?

I have heard good things about SH engines, but I've never had on myself

Grahama, where did you get the 1.9 hp rating? It will be helpful to have a webpage on info about my engine. Thanks (I'll post a pic later).

Yeah right buddy[&:]

I own a SH .25 And its the same as an XTM .247 PRO. And yes ive looked inside, all the same features as the xtm .247 pro (knife edged rod, 6 intake 1 exaust, turbo cut crank, polished carb intake, 6cm diameter head ect) So i do believe that SH engines are as powerful as the XTM engines. I dont believe that 3.5hp rating for the .28
