which engine???

[supamansuper]

Can anyone please let me know which engine to buy for a hirobo shuttle plus 2.I was told an sc36 would be the one but was also told to get an os32.

I would get an OS ... had nothing but good things with OS engines ... As for a 32 Y not get a 37 and have done with it hehe ... Loads more power to get ya out of those tight spots ya might get into

[supamansuper]

cheers,can you suggest any good sites to order it from

A nice quiet electic one

Def the OS37. It runs cooler & less stressed than the 32 and more power. Great engine. Had an SC, sold it to a (now) very satisfied member, but I couldn't get on with it.

so would an sc36 be ok for starting out with.can get one for just £50

Spend once and spend right ... I have had plane SC engines and could not get on with them ... At least with OS ya know ya gonat get something thats gonna start and run as its supposed to do .... For the extra ya will pay for the OS its hardly worth getting the SC or them

Just upgraded my Raptor from a Thunder Tiger 39 that always played up to an OS 37

Well pleased

The extra money spent on the OS is well worth it in my opinion

[supamansuper]

thanks,i'd better cancel the engine i just ordered and order the 37 then.I dont mean to sound stupid but this is my first heli except for the little polystirene one i fly around the house.Will the os37 be ok for my shuttle?

The OS37 will be more than enough

Cheers

No, you'd waste time trying to set it up & get frustrated. Go for the 37 now. Bite the bullet.

I put mine into my Rappy 2 years ago, never reset the factory settings, ran it gently for a couple of tanks & have never had to touch the settings since.

Maybe I was lucky.

Too right - very satisfied...... but I ain't using it in a heli, it's in a plane where it's performance is much less critical.

The SC runs ok once it's wound up, but it throttles terribly and the needle valves are very sensitive.

You'll have a lot less bovver and a lot more reliability with and OS. Buy right, buy once.

Another satisfied customer. Glad it's running for you. I just have to repeat, my OS37 has been a brilliant engine. Just wish the LHS gave you the real story when you enter the hobby.
