A Force .12 has 0.55hp @ 38,000 RPM and yes, it will drop into an RS4

The force .12 is a extreme bargain. When treated well and broken in carefully it will produce excellent power for a $69 dollar engine. I have had 3 of them. I use them for practice and to race on extremely slippery tracks.

I have used these engines in the past. for the same purpose as mentioned in previous post.

The engine is comparable to an o.s CV-12 in horsepower and performance. If I recall correctly though the engine is ABC instead of ABN like the o.s.
Should last a little longer than the o.s

Not bad at all for the price.

Also I remember them selling out a couple of years ago at tower when it got posted on the HPI board.
