Looks like HSP 02060 VX .18 from SH. 2.74cc. 1/10 Brontosaurus edition. Strangely almost identical. Excellent review as always! Thank you!

Thanks for the great comparison! Once again another amaizing video! Can you please tell a bit about G 3.0 HO version. It looks like this version is kind of a beast with 2.2 HP at 30 000 rpm as OS 18CVR is "only" 1.35hp at 28 000rpm. What gives this big difference in between?

[@a2rc]

@@lyubennyagulov9012 😮 Thank you for the kind words ‼️ Makes me happy to know you enjoyed the vid The next engine overview planned in the Volume 5 series, is in fact the G3.0 HO. Stay tuned for that one - A little insight into the T and G3.0 horse power claims is just that, they are claims. HPI/Force seems to have have been a way over on what reality may be. I personably would love to see real dyno data on both engines. OS claims 1.35hp for the 18CVR and that is probably more realistic. - The driving test I referred to in the vid are of two very similar RS4 builds with the two different engines attached (T3.0 vs 18CVR). I did a series of test and the CVR came out on top (even with the 2.2Hp claim for the force/HPI .18 engines). - Todays vid shown a great comparison, as to why the design of the CVR engine is a bit better than the T/G3.0. In my opinion anyway I hope that helps a bit and I really appreciate you taking the time to write and for watchn’ 🩷

[@lyubennyagulov9012]

@@a2rc Thanks for the answer in very great details! It looks like the G3.0 HO really outperformes the ordinary G3.0, but the only difference I can see is the carb. The G3.0 HO tosses with no problem the HPI WR8 chassis, which is quite heavy, but I havent tried to mount OS 18CVR on a WR8. Looking forward to see your next video=)

2.2 hp lol

@@BelowAmbient 2.2hp does seems to be a bit of an aggressive claim from HPI lol - Do you happen to have a T3.0? I appreciate you watchn’ 🩷

Great engine comparison video! I just recently purchased a new G3.0 and wondered how it compared to a higher end engine. Thanks for sharing!!!🫡🫡🫡🫡
