O.S .15 RX Engine

[SuperMuncher]

I'm going to buy this engine pretty soon and i wanted to know if anyone has put one in there car before. I need to know what kind of modifications are necessary and what parts i will need. Thanks for any help!

[SuperMuncher]

Has anyone done this?

I haven't had it, but is a good engine. You will have to shorten the shaft, and probably modify the mounts.

Good luck with your engine!

Hey thanks 1st Gear im gonna try and get it this weekend!

[SuperMuncher]

Oh great, now im looking at other engines the trinity P15 standard exhaust says that it pumps out 1.3Bhp...... and its cheaper than the RX... Does anyone know if trinity's are good engines, or better yet do any of you have one?

[RC Rick]

oh, opps, I was thinking of another O.S. engine, sorry. I have really only seen one of those around here, I'm not sure if they are PS compatible, they may be like the CV-R, and don't have a PS, any can't put one on either.
