http://hpisavagex46.wordpress.com. Just as I was shopping around for some brushless truggys to be gifts for my male cousins, I came across this. If you compare to a few posts ago, just look at the design and layout. It's definitely a clone of the Kyosho Inferno MP777 or MP9. The body is definitely a molding of the MP9. Take a close look. An Inferno clone should definitely be good for some serious bashing.

SH PT28 XM1-P8 Buggy / Truggy Engine
Http://hpisavagex46.wordpress.com. Here's SH Engine Company's top-level offering for .28 class Nitro racers. "SH" are initials for the Taiwan Company's name in Chinese, "Sheng Hong". The company is also known as Golden Lion Enterprise Co Ltd.
This is an 8-port racing engine with a 3-screw carburetor assembly- namely for High Speed Needle (HSN), Low Speed Needle (LSN) and Idle Screw. Unlike other SH engines in the lineup, this one does not have a Mid-range Needle adjustment.
The pilot shaft is of a standard length and compatible with most flywheels and clutch bells. However, for this engine size, a 3-shoe clutch and flywheel system is recommended. Rather than using E-clips which are common on lower capacity engines, this uses a 3-mm cap screw. Shim accordingly to remove excess play between your clutch, flywheel and the cap screw.
Due to the 8-ports, the SH PT28 XM1-P8 has a rather large cylinder head. Here are the power statistics- Cublic cpapcity 4.57 cc Bore 18.50 mm Stroke 17.00 mm R.P.M 36000 rpm Power 4.0 hp Weight 422 g
Bad Taiwanese English
I thought this typo by Taiwan's biggest RC engine manufacturer was rather funny. "Power by SH".

Selling Off My Thunder Tiger Pro21-R W/O Pullstart
http://hpisavagex46.wordpress.com. This was the engine on my Kyosho Inferno DX which I have decided to retire due to parts shortage. Before any further wreckage, I'll be cleaning it up and putting it up for display.
The .21 3.5 cc buggy engine still works great. 2.1HP and has a top rev band at 28,000rpm. Letting go for $70. Great for entry-level buggy or truggy. However, those who're currently racing a .15 or .18 engine, i.e. Traxxas Revo or Jato 3.3, or even the HPI RS4s will find this to be a big power boost.
Here's another picture of the engine, in a clean condition. I'm selling mine without pullstart, with the original Thunder Tiger engine backplate, as I'm using the pullstart for a different car.

GE 2011 Marine Parade GRC Results
Where's Nicole Seah?
Cowards voted a bad Hello Kitty imitation into Marine Parade GRC. I'm referring to Tin Pei Ling (TPL).
And of course, they still wanted PAP's tallest Minister, SM Goh Chok Tong.
Nonetheless I hope the minute 57% PAP win will show the politically wary that many others finally dared to vote other than the ruling PAP.
Hopefully, the several whisker victories, I.e. Potong Pasir, and Joo Chiat, plus other closely-fought wards this 2011 Singapore General Elections will empower Singaporeans - especially the older generation, to vote truer to their hearts.
As Nicole Seah said, we now just have to put out hands in those who have been elected into parliament, and hope that they will make the best decisions for our estates and the country.
I also share her thoughts in wanting George Yeo to run for presidency. I'm sure the astute thinker will do more for Singapore than presidents past, and the present SR Nathan whom i remember as expression-less, when about his morning walks in East Coast Park.
