Engine=motor?

[Tjompa]

Have been looking att some pics of the new twentytwo, it is actually written engine on the bags for the mid motor conversion parts. Am i totally off here or what? I thought it was an electrical motor installed, not an combustionengine....

[Shaun 'TheSheep' Atkinson]

It is electric!

The term 'Engine' doesn't automatically mean it's a combustion engine...

[Tjompa]

Hey!
I know but everyone else talks about mid motor conversions, losi is the first company to talk mid engine conversion on an electrical car, so that was why i was wondering.

Thesheep: so you talk about electric engines? Sounds weird.

I don't use the term 'Electric Engines', I call them motors like 90% of the other people do, but some people/Companies do use this term.

You need to put some petrol in it - but only do this once the motor is hot and the Lipo is in

Cock Brushed and brushless are both types of motor - they just work differently

Anyway mate, the TLR 22 is a 2wd electric buggy.

They do a couple of Nitro models: a 1:10 4wd truggy and a 1:8 4wd buggy. Don't know much about these as I don't race Nitro.

I think the 22 could be one of the best selling cars this year

Hi guys!

Thanks for defending my thread against thoose silly retardos!

I know that the TLR22 is an electric buggy, i was just curious why they call it engine on the plastic bags in the kit, and according to Smokes with the quote from wikipedia i am totally correct in my conclusion.


So by the way, i am from Sweden, that was why i asked about the engine and motor mixup, the gramma is a bit difficult sometimes. Engine means motor in Swedish also, as for the germans.

So the correct word would be on the plasticbags: "mid motor conversion" So losi is wrong and a little guy from Sweden is correct..sound weird but hey i can live with that!

I also guess that this car can be a big seller, the hype is enourmous everywhere!

Ahh the joys of the English language!

Where in Sweden are you from? My parents used to live in Vasteras

I've also noticed that the Americans tend to refer to an electric motor as an Engine too, perhaps this is why TLR call it an engine in the 22?

Actually, most Americans with half a brain (which isn't many) call them motors.
Nice thread! Perfect spot for my first post here!

I'm gonna go take a ride on my engine cycle.
