Review: Great except some issues - Great little engine; very powerful and reliable - except some issues. The pull start is rather weak so I installed the drill starter just to be on the safe side. The stock bearings (7x19x6 mm front and 13x24x6 mm rear) are junk. Replace them with good quality SS or ceramic bearings. Also, get a 3 or 4 shoe clutch in order to get the most out of this engine; the stock 2-shoe clutch is a not adequate. Review: This motor is powerfull - It's a great deal but it runs hot so your gonna need #1 glow plugs to keep the temp down ## Features - 2.5 Horsepower on tap - Race-legal .21 engine size - True ABC construction for long life - Composite Carb construction helps prevent heat vaporization of fuel - Huge aluminium Heatsink ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FAR3COY | | Best Sellers Rank | #318,199 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #14 in RC Combustion Engines | | Brand | Hobbico | | Brand Name | Hobbico | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 7 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04944258022970 | | Horsepower | 2.5 Watts | | Included Components | HPI Racing 111600 Nitro Star F3.5 V2 Engine, 3.5cc, Slide Carburettor, and Rear Exhaust with a Pullstart | | Item Type Name | RC Hobby Parts | | Item Weight | 0.62 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Hobby Products International | | Material | Aluminum, Brass | | Material Type | Aluminum, Brass | | Model | HPI111600 | | Model Name | Nitro Star F3.5 V2 Engine, Slide Carburettor, and Rear Exhaust with a Pullstart | | Part Number | HPI111600 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 11.1 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hobbico - **Horsepower:** 2.5 Watts - **Material:** Aluminum, Brass - **Model Name:** Nitro Star F3.5 V2 Engine, Slide Carburettor, and Rear Exhaust with a Pullstart - **Voltage:** 11.1 Volts ## Images ![HPI Racing 111600 Nitro Star F3.5 V2 Engine, 3.5Cc, Slide Carburettor, & Rear Exhaust with A Pullstart - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51SFMqBjmSL.jpg) ![HPI Racing 111600 Nitro Star F3.5 V2 Engine, 3.5Cc, Slide Carburettor, & Rear Exhaust with A Pullstart - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51WTmNzQFGL.jpg) ![HPI Racing 111600 Nitro Star F3.5 V2 Engine, 3.5Cc, Slide Carburettor, & Rear Exhaust with A Pullstart - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EDmjpj3NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great except some issues *by R***N on June 12, 2016* Great little engine; very powerful and reliable - except some issues.
