PREPARATIONS
Engine Selection
There are several engines that will work well in your Super
Sportster ARF. We recommend a mild 2-stroke such as an
O.S.
® .40FX or SuperTigre ® G40. If you prefer a 4-stroke, an
O.S. FS-52 is an ideal choice. Your choice of 2-stroke or
4-stroke will determine the location of the throttle servo and
throttle pushrod exit on the firewall, so plan ahead.
DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE
Note: We, as the manufacturer, provide you with a top
quality kit and great instructions, but ultimately the quality of
your finished model depends on how you assemble it;
therefore, we cannot in any way guarantee the performance
of your completed model, and no representations are
expressed or implied as to the performance or safety of your
completed model.
