Introducing the O.S. Engine 18CV-RMX for RC Racing

The O.S. Engine 18CV-RMX offers a compact, precision built nitro solution for 1/10 scale cars and buggies, aimed at hobbyists who want a predictable powerband and straightforward maintenance. The 18CV-RMX is engineered to be service friendly while delivering competitive on track performance.

Strengths in Power Delivery and Handling

The engine delivers a clean power curve with strong midrange and a usable top end, helping drivers maintain traction and control through tight corners. Its balanced assembly keeps vibration low and prolongs component life.

Routine Care and Jetting Advice

Keep the carburetor jets matched to local temperature and inspect the head and bearings after heavy use. Best results come from pairing the engine with quality fuel and replacing glow plugs at the first sign of fouling.

Practical Comparison to Other 0.18 Engines

Against rivals, the 18CV-RMX is noted for stable running and a lightweight package that does not compromise chassis dynamics. It is well suited to both sprint racing and extended practice sessions.

For those wanting a dependable, tuneable powerplant for club or club championship use, the O.S. Engine 18CV-RMX is a sensible, well engineered option.

With a correct glow plug and a properly tuned carburettor, the 18CV-RMX will start consistently with a pull starter or electric starter on most setups.
The rated output supports sprint formats well, offering quick throttle response and a stable top end for lap based competition.
Perform basic checks every few runs: inspect the glow plug, clean or replace the air filter, and verify carburettor jetting to keep performance consistent.
