I have a raptor 30, and am thinking of getting an OS 32shx. Now theres an ABC and a ringed version. Witch one do you recomend? Is there an advantage to either? Thanks!!!

If you are flying off of black top or sandy ground where there is a lot off dirt, go with the ringed. If you fly off grass then abc. At least that's what OS told a friend at Toledo.

Thanks for the info!!
Can you explain that in more detail? Is it true that ringed engines take longer to break in but last longer? Thanks!!!

I would recommend the ringed version, IMHO the ringed engine is better than the ABC with regards to smoother running in the mid range ie hovering power setting. This of course assuming everything else is equal. I do think that the ABC has slightly better peak power, but that is not what heli engines need. Also at the end of each flying year, I change the piston ring which seems to freshen up the engine, a simple and cheap option.
