SH is most probably the largest manufacturer of RC engines in the world. It's true that most of those end up in RTR kits for newbies to blow up. That's not the fault of SH however.

Their new line of purpose built race engines are very promising.

BTW, George Schuth keeps the blown engine thread on the Grid alive... LOL!!!!!!!!

most of the purpose built race SH engines are the ones that blow up cuz the materials are weak

sry but the 3.3 is the fastest small block on the market. The reason your 3.3 "blew up" is probly because of your lack of tuning abilities.

Mich, Revo2k's didn't blow up he rolled it and broke the case, so it wouldn't be his lack in tuning ability, it would be his lack in driving ability.

the 3.3 motor does not get any longevity in most cases because they used the same rod and i believe bearings and increased the displacement putting alot of stress on those parts

mike is right. The bearings and rod are identical in the 2.5r and 3.3. My 3.3 blew up in under a gallon.
