This is the O.S. Max .46AX ABL BB Model Airplane Engine with Muffler.
Ideally suited to a variety of R/C aircraft including trainer, sports
aerobatic, and scale types.
FEATURES: Redesigned remote needle holder is separate bracket, not part of
backplate
Advanced Bi-Metallic Liner. This process uses a double layer of
plating material rather than one thick layer. This helps the metal
to bond to the cylinder and is more durable. Also, the plating
process is more consistent, resulting in a more precise fit between
piston and sleeve for better compression, longer life.
Side exhaust
Newly designed sport muffler with squared-off shape
40G Carburetor
Ball bearing-supported Crankshaft
TWO-YEAR limited warranty
INCLUDES: One O.S. Max .46AX ABL BB model airplane engine with muffler, A3 glow
plug, 2¼" (57mm) section of tubing for remote needle, two
3mm x 35mm cap head muffler screws, warranty sheet, decal sheet,
and illustrated instruction manual
REQUIRES: Fuel containing 5%-20% nitromethane with at least 16% lubricant
Most of the fuels we carry meet or exceed the lubricant content
required for optimum performance and maximum engine life. In the
past, the conventional lubricant content used in fuel was 18%. But
with new advanced technologies, fuels like Red Alert and O'Donnell
for example, have a better quality of lubricants even though the
percentages of lubricant content are lower. These high-tech
lubricants provide exceptional cooling and protection.
