Jeez this engine is BIGGGGG ! Definitely larger overall than my Axial .32 . VERY nicely crafted looking engine. I also bought a low/mid Trinity pipe so they should compliment each other very well. This is a 5 port engine and as I read the key to this engine is not to wring it out with constant peak rpm's . Massive midrange torque is the benifit with this engine. Perfect for my Savage.

You should go with a 4 shoe clutch and metal clutch shoes

I currently have a 3 shoe w/ aluminum shoes and I like the Mugen 1.0mm springs. I'll see how this works first. I'll know pretty quick if i'm getting excessive clutch slippage. I also will need to experiment with gearing. I love the challenge chasing that perfect "setup"
 
Oddly I was looking at O.S. Engines today and thought of you Polar. There are still a few nice ones available in the UK but wow they ain’t cheap at all.

Looking forward to seeing this rip. ??

Last OS I looked at was one of the little rotary engines lol. Would love to get a pair and bolt them together to stick in something.

I was going to build a jet bicycle, but I opted for CYC Gen2 instead. Intention being to power it with a 72v Lipo setup. Should be good for 45mph minimum.

The jets would put me jail real quick, the noise is terrific. ?

Also not road legal. ?
 
OS engines have never been "cheap" respectively. They are well reguarded as rock solid reliable engines. O.S mainly focus on air, not surface. They do offer a lot for the .21 buggy crowd but really nothing for the big cc big torque MT guys. I just hope my new LRP .32 is a tune friendly engine. I owned a lot of different engines back 15 years ago and what makes for for a fun day of bashing is a engine that runs like it should, and what makes for a miserable pissed off day is a fussy tuning engine. My absolute "favorite " engine back years ago was my XTM 24.7 Pro. That dam engine ran SO perfect over a wide range of ambient temps without the need for a retune. The XTM wasnt my most powerfull engine , but was by far my most fun and reliable. I will post of a very in-depth writeup on my LRP once we get good weather.
