The HPI Nitro Star F5.9 Engine With Pullstart (HPI-117259) delivers huge torque and eye-opening acceleration for 1/8-scale big-block vehicles. With nearly 4hp on tap (3.76 PS), this 5.9cc powerplant is built to launch heavy rigs into wheelie-popping performance and serious top speed.
Starting is simple thanks to the integrated pullstarter. A robust one-way bearing housed in a large 14mm hex boosts durability for repeated use. For those who prefer push-button convenience, the F-Series HPI Roto Start engine starting system can be installed as an upgrade.
Its big-block layout and 8.5mm carburettor make tuning straightforward for powerful, consistent running. The engine is specified for a Cold R5 glow plug (HPI #1504), aligning with its high-displacement character for strong mid-range punch and reliable hot restarts.

The F5.9 engine is a huge powerplant with eye-opening
acceleration and ground-tearing amounts of torque, capable of
powering your Savage up to ludicrous speeds. With nearly 4hp on
tap, it really is true that there's no replacement for
displacement!
The F5.9 engine is started by an easy pullstarter system, with a
