$159.99The RETROL MUSA 1/8 2.2cc engine runs on standard gasoline fuel. It is designed for use with small-engine grade petrol, similar to that used in model aircraft or lawn equipment. Always follow safety guidelines when handling and storing fuel.
No, the engine does not include a battery. You will need to provide a separate power source for ignition. A small 6V or 12V battery is typically sufficient to activate the spark plug and start the engine.
The engine produces a realistic mechanical sound at operating speed, comparable to a small model aircraft engine. While not excessively loud, it is best operated in a well-ventilated area and not in quiet office environments.
The engine is best suited for users with some experience in small internal combustion models. It involves fuel handling and high-speed operation, so supervision is recommended for novice users or hobbyists under 18.
Thanks to its evaporative water-cooling system, the engine can run for extended durations without overheating. However, periodic breaks are recommended to ensure longevity and optimal performance, especially at high RPM.
