K45 Engines now available

[Al Hobbs]

I have just received a shipment of K45 engines and piston/sleeve assemblies.

They do not come with a carburetor, but I used a Picco 45 design carb that fits my prototype.

The introductory price is $385.00 plus shipping.

The K45 engines are ready to ship.

These engines are available directly from A/A Products or from A/A resellers.

I saw no flash or filings on the piston/sleeve assemblies.

I operate on a very low margin so I do not take credit cards or PayPal. You can pay me by check or western union.

Old fashioned, I guess.

The K45 crankshafts are longer than MAC, CMB, or A/A 45 crankshafts. The longer distance between bearings provides a smoother rotation.

The headbuttons are for standard glow plugs.

Al,

How many engines do you have at the introductory price?

 

[Grimracer]

Thanks for continuing to bring quality nitro motors and parts to market Al, I know it can't be easy!

The flywheel is aluminum, the collet is brass.

Before committing to a purchase, what kind of time frame do think it would be before ALL spare parts would be available?
Cranks, rods, rotors, housings etc..
If purchasing a motor I would like to be able to buy a bunch of backup parts as well.

Also, any news/update on the pro .21?

I have cranks, head buttons, rods, piston/sleeves, head shims, wrist pin clips and WIB bearings to fit in stock. I am waiting for the final package which I hope includes wrist pins and carburetor drawbars. I did not order any spare crankcases or back doors.

I am waiting for the new NovaRossi people to deliver the piston/sleeves and crankcases for the A/A Pro 21 engine. I paid them quite a while ago and I am starting to lose patience.

Once I get those parts I can test to see if the enginineered billet crankcase fits properly or needs additional machining.

 

[Al Hobbs]

I have in stock, the made in USA, billet exhaust headers to fit the new K45 engines. They are $35.00 and available in 10 degrees and 15 degrees.

They also fit most 45 size engines.

He has the parts you asked about. Have you placed your order yet? I got to see the Proto at the Voodoo race last year and it is a very nice looking engine. Machined headers that are half the cost of CMB casted headers. Another plus. Jeff Lutz

We are going one step at a time. Depending on demand, we will expand the selections to include other engine, sizes and design.
