OS Engines RC Car Engines: Nitro & Petrol Power

Explore our Car Engines range, part of our Engines category, featuring nitro and petrol powerplants for 1/10, 1/8 and large-scale RC cars. Choose from leading brands Force, Zenoah, REDS, HPI and Hobao. For 1/10 and 1/8 nitro, look for .12–.21 (1/10) and .21–.32 (1/8) displacements, crankshaft/rotostart options, and whether you need pull start, bump start or roto start. Large-scale petrol fans will find robust 23–32cc Zenoah units with bags of torque.

To ensure a perfect fit, check your engine mount pattern, clutch, flywheel and exhaust manifold type (rear vs side), and match the carb throat to your air filter. Pair your engine with the right glow plug (heat range), tuned pipe and fuel to make starting and tuning easier. New to nitro? Run in gently and keep temps in check; our team can advise on needles and setup.
