My Posts This: Topic Forum | As Petmotel and others have said, a 50 and a 90 are two different critters in their feel, and a 50 with a 91 is different from either. E.g. being neither an ordinary 50 with a 50, nor possesed of the feel of a 91, it's quite unique.
Anyway, petmotel wrote a very good description of what's involved in putting a 91 into the Pantera (somewhere here on RR) and both be and billm have Panteras XS conversions (with big block engines - petmotel, have you still got yours?). Meanwhile, Mr. Hillbilly is somewhat unique in having the only Pantera XS with a ducted fan engine - compared to the 3.4 hp or a run of the mill 91, a DF engine is close to 5 horsepower (and a ordinary OS 50SX Hyper is 1.9 and the new 55HZ Hyper is 2.1). Consequently, he has a unique viewpoint as well. Any of these fellows can give you advice of the pure mechanics of getting it installed.
Alternatively, call me 10-6 eastern at 407-302-3361 and I can discuss with you what's involved. I don't go out of my way to offer the XS conversion so expect some dissuading on my part but if you have the skills to accomplish it successfully that's another story. This is 'not' a product for ordinary modelers by any stretch.
