4 stroke still?
Getting back into nitro r/c again and looking at a truggy, buggy(that can be turned into a rally car when not racing), or MT.
Just wondering if anybody still does the 4 stroke thing and if the os car specific motor is still available somewhere.

RE: 4 stroke still?
Nope 4 stroke has and looks to always be dead in the Car world. Many from lack of useable power.
The cars are built around the current high RPM and power of the 2 strokes, so gearing to get a 4 stroke to work just isn't majorly possible without a ton of work.
Even the .26 OS was weak on power and torque, most said it was more a replacement for a .12 than the .21 they claimed.
