The best way to described is:

my OS CV-R .18 is a like a 2.0 Liter turbo 4 cycler engine, needs to be run at high rpms to make good power

the FS 26 is more like a small block V8, lower reving than the 2 Liter but much more torque. The sound is more realistic as well.

The problem though is. This is basically a modified airplane engine. It's made to have a prop flowing cool air over it's small cylinder head. It runs on Helicopter fuel (30% nitro with 18% lubrication) to keep to cool. I'll have to get a fan setup of some sort to keep it cool on exstended runs.

Just finished up a Audi S1 Quattro shell from Team Blue Groove. The livery isn't 100% accurate as I used decals from a Carson Audi Quattro from the Acropolis Rallye.
