## Overview

Equipped with a convenient pullstarter and direct-fit mounts, it offers an easy upgrade path for serious RC enthusiasts seeking race-tuned performance and durability.

## Description

From the Manufacturer This engine is supplied with a pullstarter. If you prefer to use a Roto Start with this engine, you will need 87132 Roto Start 2 Set and a standard 7.2 volt stick pack battery . A variety of race-tuned standard features will make the T3.0 your engine of choice. The finned crank case helps keep everything running at the right temperature, and the tall finned aluminium cooling head further reduces operating temp for optimum efficiency. With ABC construction (Aluminium piston, Brass cylinder liner sleeve, Chrome-plated liner) you get the benefit of decades of 2-stroke racing technology. The composite carb keeps needle tuning consistent as the engine heats up, and the wide 6.5mm opening ensures a good supply of fuel to the combustion chamber.

Review: R/C Hobbist. - I have been in R/C for nearly 20 years. I started with the Traxxas Hawk and now own 10 nitro vehicles from various manufacturers. With the exception of O.S. engines, the HPI Nitro Star series is pretty good. They break-in well and run just as good. I own 2 of them, including this one. I followed the break-in instructions, but used few of my own tweaks based on experience. The engine gave me all the power I needed for my HPI RS4 Super Nitro and then some. It has been a great motor with nearly 3/4 of a gallon of fuel run through it. I highly recommend this motor to anyone who needs ease of use and plenty of power over a stock .12 and .15 motors. The factory settings were almost perfect for the NYC area. I did not have to adjust the motor that much.
Review: Great upgrade for my Nitro RS4 3 - This engine is probably the easiest drop in option if your looking for a new/replacement engine for any of the HPI Nitro RS4 line ( Nitro RS41,2,& 3, Super Nitro RS4, Nitro MT 1&2, Nitro Rush). It’s has built in motor mounts that allow you to mount it directly to the chassis. Also excepts other mounts for non-Hpi car as well. The is a great upgrade for the HPI 15FE and T15 engines.

## Features

- Powering the RTR NITRO RS4 3 EVO+, the T30 is HPI's a fantastic engine
- 65mm Rotary Carb/ABC/Standard Shaft/Side Exhaust/Heatsink Head/Black Crank Case
- Glow Plug: Cold R5 (HPI 1504)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great upgrade for my Nitro RS4 3
*by J***S on October 23, 2024*

This engine is probably the easiest drop in option if your looking for a new/replacement engine for any of the HPI Nitro RS4 line ( Nitro RS41,2,& 3, Super Nitro RS4, Nitro MT 1&2, Nitro Rush). It’s has built in motor mounts that allow you to mount it directly to the chassis. Also excepts other mounts for non-Hpi car as well. The is a great upgrade for the HPI 15FE and T15 engines.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very happy for the time being. Customer service provided info...
*by A***D on September 19, 2021*

(Two very important topics below) So, the nitro engine market is not what it used to be 20 years ago. Finding engines (quality engines) for a good/fair price is getting harder these days. I’m hoping things change for the better as the industry realizes that nitro products are still great and customers still want/need them. This engine was a direct fit for my next/latest vintage HPI RS4 build (comparable with org RS4 , 2, racer, racer 2, Super, MT2, etc). You may not even need motor mounts as this engine will allow both a direct bolt on and/or aux mount options. This is a big plus in my opinion. Two items to address for potential buyer to be aware of: 1) I contacted customer service about a small cut/hole in the rotary carb (visible when in the closed position). Long story short is that the customer service Rep sent information that this is most likely a cut out/machined groove for the “cam/rotation” portion of the carb barrel. They mentioned that it should not effect the carb in a negative way and they would help to correct any issue I may have , just in case. So I decided to continue the build with the engine. Everything has been fine so far. 2) This engine claims to have 2.2 HP...... well I’m not so sure about that. I have O.S. 15 CV- RX Max engine (1.2 HP) on another RS4 (cars are almost exactly the same minus the engine) and I am getting pretty much the same speeds out of the two cars (HPI engine car weighs a little more. Engine does weigh more). I do plan to update this review with acceleration, Gforce and speed curves of both cars/engines to see if there are any differences (using a FlySky GGNS system). So the 4 star review (instead of a 5) is due to the visible potential defect in the carb and the HP claim most likely not being accurate. That being said the engine is great and would buy again. As mentioned prior, quality engines are harder to come buy and prices for quality engines are getting high/extreme. A comparable OS engine would be more than double the cost so, I’m vary happy with this engine. Quality and value for the money is high on this one. I hope the vendor continue to keep this engine available at a fair price for a long time. Hope all this helps
