These engines are already available in the UK under distribution by Mirage. Horizon Hobby inform us that they will begin distributing these engines in the US from mid-March. A whole range will be released from a 45000 rpm screamer of a 0.12 touring car engine to a 43000 0.28 thumper of a truggy engine.
Reasons to be excited? Well, these are the second range of engines to be produced from GRP under the supervision of a certain Mario Rossi – the man who is generally accepted as the person who made Nova Rossi what it is today.
The last engine he made with GRP was for Mugen Seiki under the Ninja brand. This engine promised a lot because of Mario Rossi, but has both its supporters and its critics. It was very popular and current users will be happy to hear that GRP will still be supporting this product for the next 2 years. The new Ninja engines will be made by OS of Japan.
First impressions of the 8th scale on-road 0.21 are that it looks strikingly similar in spec to the original Ninja – another long stroke high revving (48,000!) monster, and the crankcase looks like basically the same casting.
Engine range: 0.12 Touring, .21 On-road, 0.21 Rally, 0.21 Buggy, 0.28 Truggy
