Default Why was the STS removed?

Does any one know why the STS .28 was removed form this site? I know when they had it listed it had more HP them most if not all the other .28 engines.

I have the STS D21B and other then taking about a gallon before it was broke in well and settled down it is doing real well. I have not raced it yet but hope to next weekend, as I cannot make the races this weekend. I will no more when I run against other buggies. I do think it will be a good engine. I plan on posting a review once I get some more time on it.

TBJ have you seen Thunder Tiger nitro F1?

Hay and it is not RED! They have some fairly big RC F1races in North Georgia but up till now they have all been electric but with the new nitro cars coming out they are talking about having a class for them. Might have to take my poor handling Ofna Colt up there and show them this old man cannot drive. I do not care much about on road racing but when you talk F1 it is a whole nether story.

How are the Thunder Tiger engines?

reliable but WAY underpowered. their .15 makes nowhere near the power of a .12CV-R. I've got an OS .12TR layin around that needs a home, and I think that Kyosho F1 car would be a good place to put it

I'm actually thinking about converting my Tamiya F103GT (touring car version of the F1 car) into an F1 car with the Williams BMW body and F203 wheels/tires. I'd love to race electric F1, even though I can't drive either, LOL.

it is not RED!
the best reason to like ANY F1 car LOL

I wish I could find pictures of the Thunder Tiger F1 with the body off. This is the only web site I could find so far on it.

Does not look like the suspension is much better them my Ofan colt. It only has a .12 size engine. Being I would only be driving it in a parking lot a couple times a year if that it would be good enough for me.

Do you have any information or links to the Kyosho F1?
Boy can you and I get off topic!
