How It Works in 3 Simple Steps
Pick Nitro or Gasoline
Not sure which? The side-by-side guide below helps you decide in a minute.
Build the engine
The engine comes as a kit with tools and a manual. Follow along with our video, one step at a time.
Add battery & fuel, press Start
Plug in a lithium battery, fill the tank, and start it with the button on the base.
Nitro or Gasoline? Here's the Real Difference
Both versions share the same twin-cylinder design, the same base and the same one-key start. The engines differ slightly to suit each fuel, and the main difference is the fuel it burns and how that fuel is lit. That's why each version comes with its own starter kit (pictured below).
Nitro / Methanol
Engine: TOYAN FS-L200AC
How it works
The nitro starter kit uses glow plugs. When you press Igniter, the battery heats a tiny coil inside each glow plug until it glows red-hot. The hot coil lights the nitro fuel, and once the engine is running, the heat from combustion keeps the plugs hot, so it keeps firing on its own.
What you'll use
- Fuel: 20–25% nitro model fuel (ready to use, no mixing)
- Battery: 7.4V 2S lithium battery
- Starter kit: glow plugs, ignition harness, start switch harness, splitter harnesses, fuel tank & line
Gasoline
Engine: TOYAN FS-L200GC
How it works
The gasoline starter kit uses spark plugs, just like a car or a lawn mower. A Hall sensor tells the CDI ignition unit exactly where the pistons are, and the CDI fires a strong spark at the right moment to ignite the gasoline. That's why this kit has a few more electronic parts.
What you'll use
- Fuel: regular 92# / 95# gasoline mixed with 2-stroke (2T) oil at 25:1
- Battery: 6–12V 2S–3S lithium battery
- Starter kit: spark plugs, CDI, Hall sensor, start switch harness, multi-branch harness, switches, fuel tank & tube
Still can't decide? Ask yourself one question: where will I buy fuel?
RC hobby shop or online model store → Nitro. Only a gas station nearby → Gasoline.
Both are beginner-friendly and start the same way with the one-key start base. Just note that the engines and starter parts are made for their own fuel, so the two versions can't be swapped later.
What You Still Need to Buy Locally
1. A lithium battery to power the electric start. Nitro: 7.4V 2S. Gasoline: 6–12V 2S–3S.
2. Fuel. Nitro: 20–25% nitro model fuel from a hobby shop. Gasoline: 92# / 95# gasoline plus 2-stroke (2T) oil, mixed 25:1 (for example, 40ml of oil per 1 liter of gasoline). We can't ship fuel, so please buy it locally.
That's it. Everything else you need to build and start the engine is in the box.

Questions New Builders Often Ask
I've never built an engine. Is this really for beginners?
Yes. The FS-L200 is TOYAN's entry-level engine: a small, simplified twin-cylinder design that's easier to build and start than bigger multi-cylinder engines. Together with the video, the manual and our support team, it's one of the friendliest ways to build your first running engine.
Does it come assembled?
No, this is a DIY kit. The engine arrives as parts with tools and a manual, and you build it yourself. You don't need special skills. Take your time, follow the video and manual, and our team is here if you get stuck.
Does it really run, or is it just a display model?
It really runs. It's a working 7cc twin-cylinder 4-stroke internal combustion engine that burns real fuel. When it's running, you can watch the belt, crankshaft and flywheel move.
Does it run on a battery or on fuel?
Both, for different jobs. The engine itself runs on fuel. The lithium battery powers the electric starter and the ignition. The battery and fuel are not included. See "What You Still Need to Buy Locally" above.
Where do I buy the fuel?
Nitro fuel (20–25%) is sold at RC hobby shops and online model stores. For the gasoline version, buy regular 92# / 95# gasoline at a gas station and mix it with 2-stroke (2T) oil at 25:1. We don't ship fuel because it isn't allowed in parcels.
Can I switch from nitro to gasoline later?
Not with this set. The nitro and gasoline engines are made for their own fuel, and they use different ignition parts (glow plugs vs spark plugs, CDI and Hall sensor). Please choose the fuel that's easiest for you to get before you order. If you're unsure, email us and we'll help you decide.
Is it a good gift for someone new to engines?
Yes. This set was made for exactly that, so they don't have to figure out which extra parts to buy. Just remember to pick up a battery and fuel to go with it.

Never Built an Engine Before? You're Not Alone
Stirlingkit has its own technical team that works with TOYAN engines every day. If a step in the manual is unclear, the wiring looks confusing, or your engine won't fire up, you don't have to figure it out by yourself.
Send us a photo or a short video and tell us what's happening. A real person will look at it and walk you through the fix, usually within 1 business day.
