Looks like the HPI K4.6 with more displacement, And I still beleive that that engine is made by Hobao. So surely this has to be a Hyper32?. It will be a spot on engine if its being made by them, But doesn't anyone thing its getting abit silly now? No one can actually build trucks to withstand the kind of power these things put out, And fuel economy... What fuel economy?!.

That engine looks ok...but where on the site are you supposed to register to win it. I hope it's not that stupid newsletter raffel thing you have to subscribe to. If it is, it dosen't say anything about the engine, just a gift certificate. Did I miss something?

The K4.6 is not a Force engine, After stripping down a Hyper21 and K4.6 Side-By-Side comparisons, Yes, There are differences.. But just the quality and tread mark machineing grooves are all there, And the carb is identicle apart from HPI Branding.

I believe the Team Orion .32 is Toki aswell, Which means this is definetely going to be the one to get.

I guess soon we will be seeing a compression release on these things just to get them started! Getting to the point that we might see a thumper mill from Honda!!!

This engine and the hpi .28 are made by King Star in Taiwan they are absolutely NOT made by Ofna/Force.Thankfully Toki doesnt have anything to do with this engine especially after the P.O.S. Wasp 28.

Well time will tell who is making this engine. Hopefully it will not turn out being similar to this last crop of .28's. Boy if ever there was an engine that really sucked it was the Fantom, Wasp, and all those other .28's
