IMPBA Production RTR Engines

[Blake Sabo]

Well, looking after the rules for Production RTR. My current engine isnt legal. Iam using a ProBoat Miss Elam. Which currently has the Dynamite .15 engine. Which isnt legal since it uses an outside electric starter.

So iam wonderin whats the engine of choice for this class? The Aquacraft .18 looks good and is only $50. But the ProBoat .18 also looks good. But it is $110.

What seems to be the prefered engine for this class?

Thanks

The Aquacraft engine is good but through my experiences the Pro boat motor olds up to more abuse and is a good contender for a stock boat setup. It likes to turn more rpm which is good for a smaller prop.

I'm not sure that is "exactly" true. The Dynamite .15 did come stock with that boat did it not? If if did it should be allowed!

Yes, the Dynamite did come stock. But i also want to run a .18. Iam planning on running a Y535 prop too.

well i would say check with some one in your local club, in my area we can swap out with any motor in that boat, ie: aqu and the new ST motor.

The earlier models of that boat came with the dynamite .15 but the newer models have the pro boat.18. There is no difference in the hull so you should be able to run either one.

Dont run those .15 dynajunkers...you can run the .18 thundertiger,alot better motor then that.15 junker plus a better upgrade that the .18 aquacraft.18..if you want a real .18 that will fly,get a O.S .18TZ....you will have a real fast bugger on your hands..

 

[curtis canton]

Are you looking at the Production or Ready-To-Run class? Those are two different animals. The Production class is meant for only ABS hulls with up to .16 engines with mufflers, no tuned pipes, not for the Bud, Miss Vegas or other boats that we now consider RTR's. That class included the Nitro Vipers from Kyosho for one, a class that hasn't been used at all as far as I know.
