The smallest gasser is 23cc, and it was replaced by the 26cc. My engine is actually a 26cc not 25cc. Gas isn't as dense with energy as nitro. Only in the late 90's did real gas R/C engines come out. In the 80's and early 90's gas boats were running at 25mph, and they said gas would never break 40mph. The world record last time I checked for gas is 110mph...


EDIT: And the stock Zenoah G260 is rated at 2.9hp and 12,000k RPM. Mine is a WHH mid mod, and increases the HP to 4hp and 15,000k rpm.

That's intense! I think the record time for a nitro car is like 140 or 150 of something. It's all BS though... they just speed up gradually over time on a circular track attached to a wire. No talent involved.

That's gay! The boats are actually being controller and chased in a real boat. The world record for an R/C boat is over 140mph and held by brushless electric.

Dude and that iso worked like a charm! I've only ever used denatured and I think this worked better and faster. Is denatured less than 91%?

Denatured is like 60 or 80%... the 91% iso is where it's at muh****a!

I hate it when Dbags on crotch rockets are idiots.

This is the second time I have had a moron ride my butt like 3 inches away. I was tempted to tap the brakes and let his scalp get peeled off by the asphalt. Tons of bikes were out b/c it was 71 1st time ive driven w/ the windows open since like October!

But yeah, like in October when I was driving the lady I work for to pick up her Envoy two morons were riding my butt on crotch rockets and doing wheelies right behind me. I was so pissed. The only good thing about bikes is that if they hit you and fall over, you have plenty of time to catch them.
