4 Stroke Kyosho Inferno GT

This is my 4stroke Inferno GT project, that originally started way back in 2006 and got put into storage and forgotten until now, I've updated my original design with a perry pump, and electric fan to cool the hot headed 4stroke, also put a dual rear exhaust on there. The setup is not nice to look at, but its functional. Just waiting for the winter rain to stop to try it out.

Is that a boat engine??

[Spellspt]

@SUPERFORMIAN nope, its a O.S. FS-40CX, its discontinued now, so you won't find info anywhere, it was Made for cars, in the mid 2000's, short lived,

Basicly its a FS-40 with stronger valve springs, different cam, bigger exhaust, and a pull start.

[SUPERFORMIAN]

A 4-stroke nitro engine that was actually made for cars? Didn't think such an engine existed...

[Spellspt]

@SUPERFORMIAN it was very short lived, as it was a PAIN to tune and never did run well in a car, I think they still make a .26ci version tho

Probably a stupid question, but why the cooling fan?

[Spellspt]

@toff696 4 Stroke run very HOT, VERY VERY! And when you run 25% nitro in, basicly an Airplane engine, you need MORE AIR to cool it.

still kinda seems like a 2 stroke...

[holsonadi]

very cool. i have a 4 stroke kyosho superten with the fs-26 non pull start engine. Unfortunately it's just a pretty shelf queen now.

[nts323]
