Hudy Nitro Engines?

Hello all,
I heard a rumour the other day that Hudy is developing a line of nitro engines. Anyone know if there's any truth to these rumours? That sure would be awesome!

Thanks Roelof!

Hard to see any Novarossi, Star, OS, Force, SH, etc hints in that engine. Could it be that Hudy is tooling up to produce their own engines?

At any rate, I would love to an engine line with exhaust booster ports. Every really vicious engine I've ever had, (RB C6, Novarossi Bonito etc) all had this type of exhaust setup. 3,5, and 7-port (plus the 3 exhaust ports) versions would get my juices flowing too.

Either way I am wondering where Hudy stands with this. A Hudy/Xray nitro engine would be too cool!

regards,

Getting into the engine market is hard these days. Rody Roem with his Tecnopower project (former GRP) had to close down because the low sales. Sirio (LM) had some difficulties the past years as well but also Picco and Novarossi have hard times to stay alive. Mainly they are under stress by the more populair becomming Asian engines like Go, Alpha, OS and all other brands comming from those manufacturers.

Yes, I do think Hudy/Xray has the machines and knowledge to create their own engine but it is much easier, time saving and cheaper to talk with current engine manufacturers and probably only designing an own crankcase and head.

A boost for the rumours?

The EFRA 2100 pipe is a Hudy pipe ?

Yup, there's also an EFRA 2085 marked as "Hudy/Xray"

Very curious now!

Just read the new XRay column and it's veeerrrry interesting!

I missed getting the last column out on time simply because there was no time for me to get into the office behind the computer. It has been constantly busy but the last few months outdid everything that we experienced before. Not only did the summer season start – which means that most of the time we are out of the factory at races all around the world – but there was also one very special project that I have been working on for 8 years for another company and another brand name and a completely different product line but still within the RC model racing cars hobby I love and now this project is in the final stage when everything is being finished up. After so many years I needed to put all the time and attention to get the project to the final stage no matter what. This project has taken a lot of my time in the last few years, as well a lot of resources invested from many people involved in this project and at some times it seemed that we would fail on this project.

But the project has been such a hugely interesting professional and personal challenge for me that I simply could not give up regardless of the costs involved. I know it is not a smart business decision, and many times I had internal discussions if it still made sense to continue to invest time and resources without an upcoming result. But sometimes there are challenges in your life when you must persevere and do whatever it takes, and this was exactly the case. I am happy – despite the difficulties we faced during the years – that I have successfully brought this project to the end.

I am guessing that cat will be out of the bag soon. I can't wait to see what's in store!

I was thinking the same.

Building up an engine compleetly from scratch is really taking time, I know! Building up an engine with some examples from other brands is not difficult but finding the right materials for a matching piston and sleeve as also the right bushings in the rod and a strong enough material for the rod can take some time and efford.

I would love to see a HUDY engine with the bright Purple head with the HUDY name and lines lazer etched on the top.

one of these added to the motor would be great, easier to get at with hex driver!

While were at at; how about four vertical slots that line up with the engine mount screws, so we can use a straight hex driver instead of a ball driver!
