Default mini 4 stroke

hi I want to put a mini 4 stroke nitro Toyan motor in one of my crawlers. Anyone know what unit is best to work with a 2 speed, I see three units listed $229, $350 and 385 ...

I understand one is liquid cooled, but dose one come with less like the e starter pack or something not included

Any info would be great ,before I just buy the cheapest option only to figure out a bunch of needed stuff is missing

Also is liquid cooled even needed, as methanol should run cool anyway.

I do see it can be run on gas with a different setup so maybe that's what the liquid cool version is for

You would have to adapt a clutch to the flywheel for this thing to work. Or you could develop some type of remote clutch deal for you to mount on the skid with a gearbox.

A nitro engine was used back in the day to power a losi axle based 1/6 scale land rover body. It was liquid cooled (boat head)
And had a full exhaust.

My only concern would be the durability of the engine you are talking about..

You can get .21 nitro parts all day long.
