FX builds nitro engines for serious RC racers across all popular racing classes. Their lineup is straightforward:
You'll find 2-port, 3-port, and linear port designs letting you match power delivery to your driving style.
The parts selection reduces the unnecessary and focuses on what actually makes your car faster. This includes crankshafts with precise tungsten weights (77-82g) for smoother idling between 4,000-6,000 RPM, specialized cooling heads that keep operating temperatures between 107-121°C, and race-legal exhaust systems that work with your engine type, from running 2.1cc touring cars (21,000-42,000 RPM) to 3.5cc off-road applications (18,000-35,000 RPM).
FX’s advantage comes from actual technical differences in how the engines are built. The diamond-like coating (DLC) they apply to crucial moving parts reduces friction tremendously compared to standard finishes, meaning your engine maintains power longer during race day. The ceramic bearings handle temperatures up to 40°C higher than steel bearings before failing.
The precision balancing on every rotating assembly means your car isn't wasting power through vibration, giving you more consistent lap times in the 2-5 second range. Finnish engineering culture shows in the details. This ranges from the exact port timing (measured in actual degrees rather than vague "performance" claims) to the sealed combustion chambers that maintain compression between 8:1 and 9.5:1, depending on fuel type.
We're RC racers too, so we know you need parts that work, not just look good in photos. We stock the full FX Engines range and have tested these products ourselves at our local tracks, so when we recommend one, it comes from real experience. If you're unsure which engine suits your car or driving style, just ask us. We're happy to share what we've learned from using these engines.
We ship fast across Finland and internationally, with most orders leaving our warehouse within 24 hours. That's part of our legendary support promise: getting you quality RC products when needed, with advice from people who use what they sell.
FX engines require 16-25% nitromethane RC fuel with 8-12% oil content, preferably using castor/synthetic blends. A common mix is 25% nitro and 9% oil. High-quality, well-filtered fuel ensures performance and longevity.
FX engines offer similar performance to O.S. and REDS Racing engines, with strong power delivery and reliability. FX focuses on consistency and build quality, while O.S. emphasizes race tuning and REDS targets peak power and throttle response.
Break in an FX engine by running 2-3 heat cycles on a rich setting, followed by 2-4 tanks at idle or low throttle. Maintain rich tuning throughout, avoid sudden revving, and gradually increase power over 8-10 tanks.
Yes, FX engines require tuning adjustments for temperature, humidity, and altitude. Lean settings suit cold, dense air; rich settings suit warm, humid weather. Regular carburetor adjustments maintain optimal performance across conditions.
