Ordered flishrc cobra. Communication was great. Ordered larger batteries but they were the wrong size. Olly shipped the right batteries and gave a refund for the difference I paid. Couldn't ask for more. Thanks for the help with the order.

The seller knew I was after one and very kindly informed me when they came back into stock so now have a Flywing Bell 206. Fantastic bit of kit. Well worth the wait.

Frequently Asked Questions
This Force .28 engine is a direct fit for HPI Savage nitro versions and compatible with most 1/8 scale nitro chassis, including Hyper, Schumacher, Thunder Tiger, Hong Nor, and Associated models. Some vehicles may require alternative engine mounts, though it's a 100% straight fit for the HPI Savage.
This is a 1/8 scale nitro engine designed for nitro RC cars, which typically require experience with fuel mixing, starting procedures, and engine maintenance—this is not a beginner-friendly product. If you're new to RC, consider starting with an electric 1/10 scale car first.
The product listing specifies this is a replacement nitro engine only; check the seller's listing or contact us directly to confirm exact contents, as engine-only purchases typically include the motor unit itself.
The Force .28 (4.6cc) delivers exceptional value with high-quality internals and is used in many RTR models worldwide. At this price point, no other 1/8 scale nitro engine offers comparable quality, and it's compatible with both roto and pull-start systems.
Nitro engines run on nitromethane fuel mixture (not batteries), so there is no charging involved. You'll need to source appropriate nitro fuel and mix it according to the engine's specifications—consult the manual for exact fuel requirements and mixing ratios.
