5.5HP 53cc Twin Cylinder Gas Engine (AUS Warehouse)

5.5HP 53cc Twin Cylinder Gas Engine (AUS Warehouse)


The new 53cc twin boxer engine has two horizontally opposed 26.5cc cylinders providing 5.5hp of low vibration power.
The two cylinders dynamically balance the engine, making it a smoother running and more reliable idling engine than a single bore motor of the same size. Having double the spark this engine not only idles better, it also has quicker throttle response and a much nicer exhaust note!

Take note of the CNC machined crank and finely cast cylinder head. This is a quality motor!


Specification: 
CDI Electronic Ignition with auto advance
Walbro Carburettor
Performance: 5.5hp
RPM: 1,900-9,000rpm
Suggested prop: 22x8 ~ 22x10

Weight: 1.477kg Including CDI unit

For more power use unleaded fuel with an octane rating of 93 or higher.
Never power the CDI with more than 6v. Doing so will break the CDI module. Take note of your battery packs true voltage when fully charged.

Does it have Butterfly reeds in the intake manifold? Whats the distance between spark plug tips?

Why does this engine weigh 479g more than the same engine in the international warehouse?
 xcellair 32 points
not only that weight evan,,if you do the maths, its considerable cheaper, even using registered mail, to buy in international,, so its a loose loose situation,, hobbyking do the maths, be realistic, we shop with you, the freight component cant be that much and your adding it again , in beafed up added weight costs, for reasons,, why

That's a good point. The only reason to buy it from the AU warehouse is because it'd probably arrive faster. You can get it discounted by about $20 if you're a platinum member (or wait for the website to offer it to you at a lower price), but even then it's cheaper to buy from the main warehouse and pay extra for shipping.

hey hobbyking, seeing as your actually giving credits, the reason i havent bought one of these as those i know have, all have had the ignition fail, in not a long time, how about having the supplier upgrade the ignition to RCxcel , and then u will sell more ,, and you will get the credit for quality upgrade,, its important, that ignition really lets the motor down, and your sales as a result
