They also made those clone TD heads very cheap since that guy was selling them for $4 each.
Re: Best Reeds
Yes, small engines like these would somehow have to be made popular again first. putting them in r/c cars would be a good start.EXModelEngines wrote:nitroairplane wrote:Do you think they would sell? I would say they would.
The TD 049? Yeah, I think they would, but at this point it is still a long way off. Finding reputable companies that would produce parts in short runs and at specific price points is difficult.

but unless a big hobby company decides to make these miniature engines en masse again, all we can do is hope. and run our engines.

Re: Best Reeds
There is an rc an rc car with a .05 engine I have one it's called the acme nb16 there are more but I own one of these.
Re: Best Reeds
oh yeah, iforgot about that buggy. its still odd why these micro models aren't as popular as scales like 1:10 and 1:8.
these little machines are great when you live in germany or the UK, and don't have that much room to run big models.

Re: Best Reeds
if you do choose to make the td 049s again, please oh please make them right..... dont play an estes. i was talking down at the local vfw and a couple of my old flying friends were complaining about a new td 049 they bought off ebay. it was obviously fake, the seller claimed that they had no idea what it was since it was from "estate sale". it had a cylinder like the ones exmodelengines and coxinternational was selling and it had a goofy glow head adaptor. the engine ran but only made it up to 13k. thats babe bee speeds, not td speeds. i know you guys didn't make it but please don't use those cylinders if or when you go to make them again. i would have to say that the original td 049 cylinders were the greatest cylinders they made.

Re: Best Reeds
I'm sure that to get the quality that good the prices would go up but I think it would be worth paying extra for a better product.

Yeah, the newer engines are great for sport, but not ideal for performance.

Re: Best Reeds
and i bet they could bring in newer technologies like enclosed conrod bearings, so they can be run with modern synthetic fuel.
also, cnc milling technologies are far more advanced, so i guess cylinders could be produced that match the old cox cylinders
in quality and performance, much faster and cheaper. i really think this is possible.

Re: Best Reeds
Ooh you are now the only fold member I think you could do the bearings but it would be easier and cheaper to Kees it original.
Re: Best Reeds
yep, ball bearings are definitly more expensive, but they are standard in most high performance nitro engines nowadays.
