Hey Steve, Dutch guy tuning in here. I came to this page searching for an engine for our school project: walking robot carrying a heavy load (in our case, crates of beer). I noticed the link you put up on this page about the EV-warrior engine, but when I came to that page the engine was discontinued. Do you happen to know of any engines that can replace this niche nowadays, or are comparable to the older engines?
