OS Engines MAX 55AX Nitro Aircraft Engine, .55 Size w/ E-3071 Si

Overview

This is the O.S. Max .55 AX Aircraft Engine with Muffler. Advanced Bi-Metallic Liner process uses a double layer of plating material rather than one thick layer. This helps the metal bond to the cylinder and makes the plating more durable. Also, the plating process is more consistent, resulting in a more precise fit between piston and sleeve for better compression and longer life.

Features

• Same mounting dimensions as the O.S. Max .46 AX
• Power Box positionable muffler
• Angular head design offers increased surface area for better cooling
• 40J Carburetor with diagonally placed Needle Valve eliminating Remote Needle Valve placement
