Compact performance from the O.S. Engine 12TG-P

The O.S. Engine 12TG-P is built for hobbyists who want dependable nitro power without complex setup. It is cost conscious to run and easy to bed in, making it suitable for regular club use or learning the nuances of nitro tuning.

Efficient runtime and usable power

This engine delivers practical run times of up to 14 minutes on typical tanks, which keeps practice and race sessions productive. Its rated operating band from 5,000 to 30,000 rpm gives a flexible spread for different track conditions and driving styles.

Choose the carb to match your chassis

Available with slide-valve or rotary carburettors, the 12TG lets you match the engine to your car. The slide-valve suits 1/10 on-road examples like the HPI Nitro RS4 or R40 for smoother low and mid throttle, while the rotary carb is often favoured on off-road cars such as the Associated GT2 and Nitro Evader for broader top end response.

Simple retrofit for modern vehicles

The 12TG-P includes a pilot shaft to make fitting into contemporary 1/10 stadium trucks straightforward, helping users upgrade engines without major chassis surgery.
