#117259 - NITRO STAR F5.9 ENGINE WITH PULLSTART

Standard Parts

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 one-way bearing encased in a large 14mm hex for increased durability. If you want to upgrade to even simpler engine starting, just install the F-Series HPI Roto Start engine starting system for push-button mechanical engine starting.

The F5.9 will fit right into any 1/8th scale big-block chassis, such as the Trophy buggy or truggy, or the Savage X, for awesome wheelie action and roost-tossing wheelspins!

Technical specifications:

  • Glow Plug:  Cold R5 (HPI #1504)
  • Displacement: 5.9cc
  • Bore:  20.98 mm
  • Stroke: 17 mm
  • Power:  3.76 PS
  • Carburetor:  8.5mm

Hi, Replacing the F3.5 on the HPI Trophy with this F5.9 engine. Is the exhaust port the same diameter so the F3.5 exchaust can be re-used ? Thanks.
Ns / 21st December 2023

Yes it is.

Steve @ Wheelspin Models
Hello is there anyway to fit this engine in a firestorm 10t if you can’t please explain why
Tristan Fish / 31st January 2023

No there is no way this engine would work in that car,  The engine is simply a much larger engine and would not fit in the space provided by that car 

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Hi would this fit in a hpi firestorm 10t
Tristan / 29th January 2023

No, you would need a small block engine for that car, so something like this HPI-107824

Si @ Wheelspin Models
Hi, does a new air filter & glow plug come in box like the American market please? Many Thanks Adrain.
Adrain / 11th November 2022

Yes this comes with a glow plug fitted and new airfilter in the box.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
hi, i want to buy this engine for my truggy how many RPM has it?
Gabriele Bovo / 9th March 2020

HPI don't quote an RPM limit for this I'm afraid...

It should work well in most truggies however!

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
hi ,ive got a limited edition savage .25 would the 5.9 fit in this model .also can you buy the roto start for the 5.9
Steven Marchant / 8th December 2019

Yes, the 5.9 would fit that no problem.

The electric starters for these are the HPI-87130 or FT02623F

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
What items would I need and you recommend exam (clutch&bell exhaust main parts)
Andrew Robinson / 10th November 2018

That would depend on what vehicle you are fitting it into, as the exhaust and clutch etc are usually vehicle specific.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
Would this be a good upgrade for the hobao mt as keep having issues with the turbo plug leaking
Andrew Robinson / 25th October 2018

Yes, the F5.9 is an excellent engine with strong power and torque figures, so should be an ideal upgrade for your Hobao.

Ben @ Wheelspin Models
hello, would this fit ok into a losi eight truggy? if so is it a better engine than the dynamite big red?
Neil / 1st August 2018

Yes, it would fit your 8IGHT no problem.

It's down to personal preference but yes we'd probably side with this engine between those two.
