I always wanted one of those, but that ******* hobby gets expensive.. I had a 1/8 scale truck.. I spent more than it cost to rebuild a rotary on that sucker.. Maybe later though..

You know the cool thing about it as a R/C car engine.. It uses glow fuel, which is already lubed so it would be pretty reliable..

Even the r/c piston engines get hot as hell, you would just have to tune the carby to make it run a lil rich and vent the body.. I read about these engines before, it was cool cuz they said it makes power like a much larger engine, but has the fuel consuption to go with it, and it is Loud as hell..



I never overheated my engine.. Damn, now you got me wanting one of these R/C cars again..

Yeah, R/C engines have got to be the neatest things . . . there was also a Saito 20cc Hemi on ebay, and a supercharged 1.2 cu in engine which I forget what kind it was.

Damn, a hemi .. Nice..

There is a compani called compacnucci, they make the r/c cars, but use Gas powered engines.. They supposedly get way better mileage.

The os Wankel? Yup, but it can be fit into a car, and it has been done before, the only real difference in the way you mount that sucker..
