Nice ! That's two i don't have , Enjoy playing with them !

Is the .05 have the same displacement as the .049?

Very nice engines

WoW !! Christmas in November !!
I have the TD 05 RC already but have never ever had a chance to buy a TD .15 Special .
Nice haul !!!

Great scores!

The Mk 2 has unique porting and a wrist pin for the con rod.

When I worked in Cox Customer service, I built several R/C TD .051 engines using the Medallion crankshafts. This was done to get lower idle speeds and more usable mid range power as the TD crankshaft port timing is not well suited for lower RPMs. We also used regular glow heads in place of the high compression head to make the engines run better at lower RPM and not overheat. The newer Texaco head works well on R/C throttled Cox engines The reason for us using the TD throttle body was it allowed the use of a carburetor instead of an exhaust throttle sleeve.

Two beauties you got there. The Mark II Special was used by vice European champion Jean Bernard Morelle in the NAJ VB, NAJ Super VB Combat and in the Ghibli '66 combat planes.

Hello Vincent. Now that you have them,what are your plans for them? They are really nice but a shame if you don't put them in a plane and enjoy flying with them.
