Title: HB engines?
Post by: Jim Roselle on January 25, 2016, 02:30:27 PM

I have a chance to pick this up cheap. Is it suitable for .15 carrier? What type of performance?

HB 60's were sport R/C engines, don't know about the .15's

I would suggest putting a 7x4 on it and doing a tach run.  If it will do 24,000 and hold an idle you have a chance. 

Unlimited nitro !!

I believe it's a baffle piston sport engine. A modern Magnum 15 would run circles around it, IMO.
