Marine Modelling International 05/2013

For many years the standard displacement for a 'small' IC nitro marine power plant was measured at .1 2 of a cubic inch, which matched-up with most air-cooled glow vehicle engines, normally a converted IC car unit that sported a built-in recoil rope starter. These .12 energy sources supplied decent power for an IC hull; but many boaters wanted more performance from their nitro motors. In answer to these requests, many glow marine power plants with a larger .15 cubic-inch displacement began to appear with the bulk of them built on the smaller .1 2-size crankcases. This step of using the .15 nitro engines in many ready-to-run power craft remained in place for several years. However, it's now possible to purchase a slightly more potent glow marine engine with such units as the O.S. 18CV-RMX ABC marine unit.
