Default Need help with engine ID

Got an ulterior motive for this? That side of the engine doesn't say a lot as far as I can see, just that it's a .15. A lot of these engines come out of the same factory, just relabeled in the mold in the case.
It could be used in a boat if that's what your plan is thanks now to a kit that Joe Solinger is making. The slide carb makes it a little more difficult but can be done.

you can have 2 .15 engine basicaly the same but the .15 boat engine is set up and tuned differently to the .15 car engine, they will have different torque tev ranges, I had 2 Kyosho .15 the boat engine reved a lot higher but had less torque, I used the car engine in a boat and found that if i used a smaller prop that was recomended for the boat engine, it ran alot better
Sorry thats not much help ID ing the motor, but you could ask in the Nitro car Forums, i'm sure someone there knows what it is

The "different" heat sink head is the dead giveaway. Usually the case size is the same, just a piston and sleeve change.
Good work Sean!

Thanks to all you guys, I took it apart last night to clean it up. It has 1/4x28 crank treads and I think with alittle trimming on the heat sink Im going to put it in one of the .12s. thanks mike
