This is an OLD VIDEO, please check out my channel to see where we are now!
This video is about the Briggs and Stratton 40cc 4-stroke engine that I'm going to be using in my rc boat...
The engine makes about 2hp and revs to around 8000rpm... I know that a 2-stroke would make that power with a smaller size, but I have only ever seen two other rc boats here on YouTube that used a 4-stroke... so I thought I'd try something (relatively) new for the rc boat world! Also, because of it's large displacement it should make much more torque than a tuned 26cc engine...
It runs on premium gas and doesn't need to be mixed with any oil - just 3oz of synthetic in the crankcase. At the end of the video I show that it burned some oil... my bad... I had slightly too much in it and it was burning off during a test run... however, after a clean and inspection, it is running really well again!
Sorry about the shaky video... I used my old Canon Power Shot A590IS and the "image stabilization" part of it is pretty bad... I'm using a DSLR Canon T3 Rebel, and GoPro Hero 2 in my newer videos though, so expect better quality!
