can someone list all the engine sizes for nitro rc cars please thanks really need help?
I'll list them in cubic inches, since that's how I refer to them but I'll try to include cubic centimetres too.
The smallest I know of is .05, but that's quite an old one and not one that you'll likely come across anytime soon.
'Small Block' engines ~ .07, .09, .12 or 2.1cc, .15 or 2.5cc, .18 or 3.0cc, .19 (Traxxas 3.3), .20 (Team Losi 3.4)
'Big Block' engines ~ .21 or 3.5cc, .24, .25, .26, .27, .28 or 4.6cc, .30, .32, .36, .38, .42, .50
There are probably much more big block sizes in between the ones I've listed, but that's all I know off the top of my head.
Generally, big block engines fit in 1/8 scale cars. And small block engines fit in 1/10 scale and smaller.
Obvious exceptions to that are the Traxxas 3.3 engine which is in the Revo and T-maxx 1/8 scale trucks. And the Schumacher Fusion car and Schumacher Menace truck, both 1/10 scale with .21 or .28 big block engines.
