Petrol heads all those looking to learn more about the workings of engines may be interested in a new 4 Stroke, water-cooled, working model engine kit called the X-Power which has launched via Kickstarter this month and already blasted past its required pledge goal with still 24 days remaining.

When you work with X-Power, everything else fades away and a new world is yours!” The model engine kit runs at up to 16,000 RPM and can be used in a wide variety of applications and even your remote-control models and supports 1:10, 1:12, and 1:14 scale models if desired.
Early bird pledges are now available for the innovative project from roughly $399 or £289 (depending on current exchange rates), offering a considerable discount of approximately 43% off the retail price, while the Kickstarter crowd funding is under way.
