O.S. Engine #38000 - OS GT55  [OS-38000]

Introducing the first O.S. gas engine-designed especially for R/C!

It is similar in appearance to other O.S. 2-cycle engines, with a large number of extra-deep and -thin cooling fins on the crankcase and head. A unique 1-piece crankcase design eliminates gaskets and enhances strength and precision.

A unique front-mounted carb, however, provides several performance benefits.

• Better carburetor cooling, for more consistent engine runs and high performance.
• Requires shorter standoffs, which results in more secure installation (mounting) and less vibration overall.
• Very simple, direct installation of the throttle and choke linkages.

Another major performance benefit is the IG-01 Capacitive Discharge Ignition. Developed from proprietary O.S. technology, it uses a microcomputer programmed for optimum spark advance. Magnetic sensors on the crankcase and prop drive detect ignition timing. The IG-01 also detects and compensates for wet plugs, ensuring quick starts. Designed to accept a wide range of input voltages, the IG-01 requires minimal current in standby mode and features a low-voltage warning (intermittent engine operation).

Features:

• IG-01 Capacitive Discharge Ignition uses a microcomputer programmed for optimum spark advance through the use of magnetic sensors on the crankcase and prop drive, the IG-01 also detects and compensates for wet plugs to ensure consistent quick starts, also requires minimum current in stand-by mode and features a low voltage warning (intermittent engine operation)
• Front mounted carburetor stays cooler for less heat percolation and more consistent performance, simple and direct throttle and choke linkages
• Unique one-piece crankcase eliminates gaskets and enhances strength and precision
• Front induction rotary valve crankshaft design for positive opening and closing of valve for optimum timing, no oil seal required which eliminates RPM loss due to additional friction
• Massive front and rear crankshaft bearings for longer life and maximum power output
• Thin high-performance piston ring and high-strength aluminum alloy piston for reduced break-in and high compression from the very first run
