MAX-
21RG-MX
The O.S. "RG Series" is a high-performance
water-cooled marine engine for small radio-
controlled boats, especially sport type hulls.
A companion model, the MAX-21RG-MX in-
corporating a recoil starter system is also
available.
With this engine, the piston will feel tight
at the top of its stroke when the engine is
cold. This is normal. The piston and
cylinder are designed to achieve a perfect
running clearance when they reach their
normal running temperatures.
We do not recommend running your boat
on the sea, or in any other saltwater
environment. Under such conditions, it is
difficult to prevent the engine from
becoming corroded and, eventually,
inoperative.
