I'm considering a new engine for my firestorm just to get some more power. b ut I have a stupied question for you. what does PS stand for when it is talking about power output. how does PS compare to horse power?
I'm looking at an OS 18TZX to replace the stock G3.0. I sent an email to HPI asking them what the power out put was they sent me an email back saying that the stock g3.0 has 2.17 horse power. the OS 18Tz has 1.8ps @ 29,000 RPM. so Iam just wondering what PS stands for and how do I convert that horse power?
Thanks

It stands for PferdeStarke, which is German for "HorsePower"

100 horsepower (U.S.) is equal to 101.39 PS

I think they reversed the spec's

I can't see the G3.0 making that much power, i maybe wrong though. Look for the rpm range in an engine for speed. An engine that only spins 30,000 rpm, will be much slower car than one with 39,000 peak. (assuming gearing is the same)

Yeah.If the G3.0 has 2.17 HP,the O.S .18TZ should have 4 HP.!!

the g3.0 does not have anywhere near that much hp even the os .18 cvrx has more power.

Dino tests show that the G3.0 has like 0.73 Hp and the O.S .18TZ has 1.18 or 1.20 Hp.
