Product details
Since its early days, CISON has been crafting miniature inline 4-cylinder engines that captured the hearts of RC enthusiasts and collectors alike. From the classic Flathead to the previous OHV models, each generation brought new precision and charm. Now, the story continues with the all-new L4-205-OHV—the latest evolution in CISON’s engineering legacy. With higher displacement, increased power, and smoother operation, this next-generation engine isn’t just a model—it’s a fully functional miniature powerhouse. Build it yourself, tune it to life, hear it roar, and display it as a collector’s centerpiece.
In November 2022, we introduced theCISON L4-175 OHV Gasoline Engine, which set a new standard for miniature OHV engines. Today, the L4-205 OHV takes that legacy further: displacement is increased from 17.5cc to 20.5cc, power output is boosted by over 15%, and the piston rings, transmission, and exhaust have all been upgraded for smoother, more reliable performance. Every detail has been refined to deliver an unmatched hands-on building experience and authentic engine performance for collectors and RC enthusiasts alike.

Why Every RC Enthusiast & Collector Must Have the CISON L4-205-OHV Kit
1. Build Something Real, Not Plastic
Ever bought a kit only to realize it’s mostly plastic? With this kit, every part is precision-machined metal. You get to assemble a fully functional inline 4-cylinder engine that actually moves and responds like the real thing. It’s not just a model—it’s a miniature mechanical masterpiece you can hear, feel, and display.
2. Small but Mighty
Think small engines can’t deliver power? Think again. The L4-205’s high-displacement OHV design and long-stroke configuration produce strong torque and responsive throttle, outperforming other engines of similar size. Pair it with your RC model and feel the difference—this is real performance, not just decoration.
3. Long-Lasting Reliability
Worried about overheating or worn-out parts? With independent lubrication and wet water-cooling, this engine runs cooler, longer, and more reliably. The three-ring piston design improves sealing and stability, letting you enjoy hours of uninterrupted operation. No more short-lived kits that break after one session.
4. Complete Kit, Stress-Free Assembly
Tired of missing pieces and endless part hunting? We’ve included everything you need: fuel tank, coolant reservoir, radiator, cooling fan, base stand, brackets, screws, and detailed instructions. Only fuel, oil, and battery need to be added. Every part is designed for easy installation, so you can focus on building rather than troubleshooting.
5. Realistic Challenge, Real Reward
Worried it’s too hard to assemble? Yes, this kit takes 12–20 hours depending on your experience. Yes, it has small delicate parts. But that’s the point—this is a hands-on engineering experience. Follow the step-by-step manual, and the reward is your very own functional engine that you built yourself.
6. Perfect Upgrade for Your RC Models
Want your RC car to feel alive? Lightweight, strong, and designed for 1/8 and 1/14 scale RC crawlers, trucks, and semi-trucks, the L4-205 acts as a custom “heart” for your model. With a sync pulley system and high torque output, your RC car runs smoother, faster, and more efficiently.
7. Collector-Grade Craftsmanship
Looking for something to display proudly? With blue valve cover + black cylinder block, metallic CNC finish, and classic diesel-inspired exhaust, this engine is as beautiful as it is functional. Whether it’s on your desk, shelf, or in a display cabinet, it commands attention.
8. The Ultimate Gift for Enthusiasts
Not sure what to gift your RC-loving friend or family member? This kit is a mechanical engineering challenge and a collectible all in one. Perfect for hobbyists, RC enthusiasts, STEM learners, or anyone who loves hands-on experiences. Give it as a gift, and you’re giving hours of immersive building, real engine performance, and a centerpiece they’ll treasure.
