I'm looking for suggestions on a low rpm, "realistic" gas engine.

I put one in a 1/10 scale truck that has a 2 speed trans and reverse.

What or where is that motor from? I likey Looks better than dead batteries to me...

I not sure how far you want to go but there is a lot of scale engines out there the problem is there very expensive

The hi-performance pull start OS26c's and OS40c's are no longer made and are very hard to find. Even used they go for over $400 on ebay. You can use regular airplane 4-stroke motors but, they don't rev very high (around 11k) and you'll need a way to start it. They sound great, just like a 4-stroke
dirt bike.

tanks for good respond.
But all engines I find dont go lower than 1800 rpm, isnt there any engines that start up at as low as 500/600 rpm? That would have been the pefect match

Smallhaul,
the pull start on the four stroke in the 4x4, did you add that or was it part of the engine new. Interested to know as the concept of live diesel power interests me.

Paul,

It is an OS-FS26S-CX car engine that came with the pull start installed. Unfortunately they are no longer made. If you find one all of the parts are available to rebuild it if needed though.
