I have had my nitro car for a couple of years. Not really that clued up
about them.

I have a Kyosho engine, ive heard people sayin they arn't all that good,
what problems am I likely to come across??

Also is there any decent engine you could suggest that isn't to pricey??

cheers,
Kris

I blew one after only a quart of fuel. Air leaks around the front bearing causing tuning
nightmares. Lowest power of any engine available. Even if they dont blow, they wont last
terribly long...

As for replacement, pretty much anything will do, you may need a new flywheel and engine
mounts though.
Try a nice OS cv-rx. Easily double the power. Look on tower hobbies site or your LHS and
see whats available.
