i love how small that thing is how much hp is that thing:D

RE: look at this engine
 

I have one of those sitting on my workbench. I am not sure of the power but i know that it is designed for airplane use.

RE: look at this engine
 

those are sometimes on free flying airplanes

RE: look at this engine
 

They definitely only for airplane use. I believe they will turn about a 3 inch prop.

RE: look at this engine
 

Ok, heres the ifo (I have one also):

They are 0.049 engines designed to run on 0% Methanol.
They do not have a carburettor as such, they have no throttle control, it is merely start it and leave it till the fuel runs out.
They do not have a tuned pipe, they have a few holes at the top of the cylinder, this makes them very noisiy, much noisier than my 0.15 in my on-roader.
They heat up like crazy, this is because the un-burned oil and extra stuff that usually gets spurted out the stinger on a car gets spurted out the holes of the cylinder which covers the cylinder, effectively reducing cooling.

my brother has three of those, he got them from a friend but none of them will run. you can still buy those even though they are discontinued, i saw one last summer in a hobby store for $40 cnd

RE: look at this engine
 

$40! You got ripped off. My dad bought it for me when he was over in america, it was a fully funstional control line. Cost him $30!

RE: look at this engine
 

he said $40 Canadian, thats like $32 american or 17.50 Pounds

RE: look at this engine
 

oops, my bad. :eek:

RE: look at this engine
 

meh, honest mistake

Nitro_Evader_Basher, why aren't you using your other account (the one with the funny avatar?)

RE: look at this engine
 

and that one went for 12.51

RE: look at this engine
 

I bet theyre real powerhouses LOL.

RE: look at this engine
 

They are actually! :) i think I'm gonna build a fan powered car with mine, or a nitro hairdryer! :)

RE: look at this engine
 

[X(][X(] Do you realize how totally awesome that would be. You could put a nitro engine in there and a blower that blows air over it. It will spit all of the excess fuel in your hair and act as gel, cutting the time it takes to do your hair in half. You should think about getting it patented.

RE: look at this engine
 

lol :):)

RE: look at this engine
 

Yeah, what a great idea! You could also make the cover removeable so it also acts as a hair clipper as well, so you can cut, gel and dry your hair all at once, I shall call it:
The 3 in 1 Nitro Hair styler ("Cause your worth it!").

I could make million! I could be rich, rich, RICH!!!!!!!!!!!! [sm=sunsmiley.gif][sm=RAINFRO.gif][sm=sunsmiley.gif]

I have a box full of these at home... They were indeed from control line airplanes... they were meant to run for about a minute then stop... the fuel tank is built into the backplate and mixture is controlled by the single needle... They were a ***** to start and were extremely noisy and dirty... I have fond memories of them growing up.. I even had one in a helicopter, which I still have... maybe 30 years old... probably still works... As far as hp... probably not mote than 1/10 hp...

RE: look at this engine
 

A helicopter!? I would like to see that!

RE: look at this engine
 

sorry for the double post.... hit buttom twice... The Helicopter goes straight up for about 15 seconds to about 200-300 feet then the motor stops and it autogyro's down .... It worked real well as long as there was no wind... I lost a few as a child.... saved this one..

RE: look at this engine
 

Ha Ha! Does yours still work? If it does, I would love to see a video of it.

Duratrax Maximum ST with a liquid cooled TRX 2.5

RE: look at this engine
 

Ok people, I made my first prototype of my Nitro Hairdryer. I designed it in Solid Edge v16 - a 3D CAD graphics program, come and see it [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/The_worlds_first_Nitro_Hairdryer%21/m_2819938/tm.htm]here. Enjoy![/link]

RE: look at this engine
 

Don't be so quick to order your engines just yet... If you read the estes or any other site on the engines... they are around $30.00... closer inspection of the estes site was $4.99 for the glow plug and $1.00 shipping... not the engine... I remember these well when I was a kid.... little screamers...... I wish they were that cheap...

RE: look at this engine
 

Nope, read again. Its $4.99 and to quote:

So that $5.99 shipped with glow plug and engine. Good deal! I already have one of those engines. I am working on the construction of the Nitro Hairdryer as soon as possible.

I'm a lumber jack and I'm Ok
I own two Traxxas's and I play all day.....
God, thanks for the parts ! [8D]

RE: look at this engine
 

lol. You got me started now:

I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I own two Traxxas's and I play all day

Mounties : He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He owns two Traxxas's and I play all day

I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.


Mounties: He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I own two Traxxas's and I play all day

I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

Mounties : He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!

Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I own two Traxxas's and I play all day

I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama (or Papa in later versions)


Mounties : He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!

Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I own two Traxxas's and I play all day

Chorus : I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I own two Traxxas's and I play all day

Dude!!
Your to much~~ LOL~~~ I loved the "Lumber Jack Song".. was singing with your words! I have a Traxxas Rustler Nitro 25, Traxxas Pro3 and a DuraTrac Axis.. what cars do you have?

RE: look at this engine
 

I've got a small one like that at home as well. Mine is an old Black Widow, designed for a glider. They were meant to be used to fly the glider up as far as the small tank of gas would last, then you could glide the rest of the way.

RE: look at this engine
 

Only a HPI RS4 RTR3 Evo. I only started this hobby 4 months ago (on precisely the 25th December 2004 to be exact!).
