Zen 28.5 vs Mod 26

Canadian Hot Rod RC Boats created the topic: Zen 28.5 vs Mod 26

Just wondering if it's worth the effort to change to new (stock) Zenoah kit 28.5 or 29 as some call it
vs
Zen Mod 26 ??

I see Gizmo sells kit for 80.00 for Zen 29 (they call it) and 175 for upcoming K30

or should I just wait for K30 (175 seems steep though) I can buy 2 Zens for that and shipping ????????

Thanks

Randy

Really comes down to a couple issues ????

First, do you race ? and if so make sure it's displacement will be legal in class run.
Second, No replacement for displacement generally :laugh: in finding more power !

Do note, Some hulls or types don't handle as well with bigger props that a larger displacement engine will run. In those cases your better staying with the smaller engines and run up the rpm using smaller props.

Thanks Scott
Nope no racing ---- usually lately just me and dog and few dozen lakes to pick from. I just see the good deal on kits and come from old school when "no replacement for displacement" like you say

Just I have a few Modded Zens and was wondering if it's worth it to swap to new (stock)Zen 28.5 kits. I can do some work over winter on them (long winter here)

Thinking of my Razor - or my Rigger - I could do a spare Zen I have as I'm doing a parts order so was just wondering if it was worth it... I kinda like to stay with Zenoah when possible, I seem to have good luck with them... and I'm cheap ....Lol

Thanks
