Knew @3dmick would like this one....I really like the 3d assembly instructions.

 

Yes I would love one very much lol
You can pick the new goblin nitro at

Very very very interesting.

There are two things that struck me,

- The clutch, fan, etc is all on the one shaft. The screw on fan hub part is similar to the Hirobo SDX fan hub concept. So this means, no dial indicator is needed to get it to a good run out. An elimination of a source of vibration.

- The belt drive, an instant elimination of vibration.

These two things will mean a lot of vibration is gone. The FBL unit will love that. And so will I.

What will be interesting to see is the materials and mounting of the engine unit to the main frame, problem is engine vibration will always manage to travel along this path.

However, although the good people at Henseleit have done this before, the other manufacturers, besides avant, have not shown any real innovation except for just shoving a nitro engine in and bobs your uncle.

So kudos to SAB for doing something more proper, but for us mere peasants.
