HOWIN L4-172 17.2cc SOHC Inline 4 Cylinder FOUR Stroke 15000 rpm Nitro RC Engine

The HOWIN L4-172 nitro engine is a SOHC finished engine. SOHC, a popular valve mechanism for car engines, is a design that only sets a camshaft in the cylinder head. In this structure, the camshaft is placed in the cylinder head above the burning room, directly driving the shaking arm and valve without passing the longer push rod. Compared with the same push-type engine or the top valve structure, the components applied in the camshaft structure are much fewer. It simplifies the gas distribution structure and reduces the engine weight significantly. At the same time, it also improves transmission efficiency and reduces work noise.

The L4-172 demonstrates the strong engine manufacturing spirit of the HOWIN engine team. Its blueprint is the basis of the classic real car engines. It re-shows the elegance of full-size cars in scale models. It delivers a sense of realism from inline four cylinders to camshafts and rocker arms. The team has been making efforts on the scale & appearance of the engine to maintain a high-level performance that can provide extraordinary power to RC cars or boat models.

Mainly decorated in silver and black for a high-end atmosphere, the HOWIN L4 engine represents a collision of retro classics and modern machinery with an overall compact structure. It adopts a SOHC valve mechanism, alloy rocker arms, independent intake/exhaust design, and increasingly accurate valve opening/closing. All parts are made of carefully selected metal material, among which the piston ring is made of nodular cast iron. The cylinder block and the crankcase of the cylinder head process aluminum alloy CNC, as well as colored through anodic oxidation after sandblasting. In addition, to maintain the steady output of the inline four-cylinder engine, the rocker arms, camshaft, and crankshaft are precision machined for minimal tolerances. With its true-to-life scale, quick start, and steady power, this scale engine will meet the expectations of many model engine lovers, providing an impressive & authentic model engine for nostalgic enthusiasts and collectors. 

CISON FG-VT9 9cc V-twin V2 Engine Four-stroke Air-cooled Motorcycle RC Gasoline Engine

Then is the CISON FG-9VT 9cc V-Twin Four-Stroke Air-cooling Gasoline Engine model. Before talking about it, let’s walk through the V-twin engine. The V2 engine is a more distinctive engine representative of the twin-cylinder, which means that it has an included angle. 45 degrees, 75 degrees, 90 degrees, and 90 degrees are called right angles. A V-twin engine, also called a V2 engine, is a two-cylinder piston engine where the cylinders share a common crankshaft and are arranged in a V configuration, widely associated with motorcycles (installed either transversely or longitudinally). Since the pistons of the cylinders on both sides can offset the inertia when they work, it has a tiny vibration of such an engine, so the vehicle is more stable when driving. And the low-torque performance of the V-twin engine is relatively good, and the vehicle accelerates more vigorously.

The Cison V2 engine based on the blueprint improves performance and reliability. CISON FG-9VT Gasoline Engine represents the most distinctive feature of motorcycles in an era. It has a blog for frequently asked questions and answers with detailed step-by-step instructions and diagrams to illustrate the questions. It utilizes OHV (overhead valve) bottom camshaft&top rod valve distribution structure, and the two cylinders are at a 45° angle while each cylinder has two valves. The rocker arm and the connecting rod cooperate more smoothly, along with the independent intake and exhaust design for a more accurate valve switch. The crankshaft runs stably and smoothly, and the large-area cooling fins with incredible air-cooling effect ensure the engine can work stably for a long time. The single-carburetor throttle response is sensitive within a normal speed range of 2000-8000rpm. The main body is made of aluminum CNC material and 2 copper exhaust elbows are distinctive. The surface of the cylinder body is anodized, and the rocker cover is chrome-plated, so the engine will remain bright and clean for a long time, making it a pleasant mood of the artwork.
