all right i'm working on a custom pan racer, one problem, this baby is small. a .12 is a bit large for it right now. I could probably force one in it, but i have a bad feeling that it would just overpower everything in it. anyway what are my options for a small engine?


thanks much
 
Come on someone has to know. I want to know how to do this too.
 
i think cox were the ones people did when things got really tiny. kyoshos car comes with a .10 doesn't it? maybe that
 
OS makes a.10. I don't know where to buy it but here is a link about it. I'm not even sure if they still make it, but its worth a shot!
 
The Cox and OS .10s are aircraft engines. The cooling head and carb might not be suitable for a car.
 
You can run a Cox in a car, but I wouldn't expect it to do much. You'd probably kill the thing pretty quick. I'm pretty sure they're made to do nothing but spin a propeller, so trying to move a car might take a long time.

Normally when cars or trucks get that small, they're electric. Is this project of yours one that you definately want to go the nito route?
 
someone put a little engine in a mini-t i but i need to go find it i think it was a .10
