New mill has arrived - Kingtair .32 (5.2cc)

[Gazzman]

Well seeing as Force engines are now getting rare, thought I'd see what these Kingtair mills are like, well it arrived yesterday and it looks exactly the same as the Force .32 I bought back in 2022. Even came in the same box, same part number just with a K on the end. Different colour cooling head and no Force sticker on the block, just the wording K32 were the sticker would have been. Got to say the cooling head looks great to, far better than the black 1 I got on the Force mill.

Yer got it for a song, £142 shipped & delivered. Don't know how well they run as have never started the Force 1 just sits in a queen, this 1 will probably do the same.
Got 3 k5.9s and man those thing drink nitro like an alcoholic, was getting around 8-9 minutes from a full tank. Love the 4.6, perfect alround mill, good on gas, easy to tune. got a couple of HPI k.46HOs, a couple of HPI F4.6s 1 version 1& 1 version 2 and 1 Force 4.6. Don't run either of the K series anymore and don't want to ruin the piston, liners. Plus they are pigs to tune as have the 3 needle carbs. Must say I still love the old S25 mills, get them tuned right and they can still hold there own. got 3 of them too.

Got a spare f4.6 piston & sleeve, not new but in really sweet condition. Took it out of 1 of mine just because I picked 1 up a new set from SMD 3 years ago. The one a took out has really go pinch still.
See photos:-
Where the piston is in photos is where the pinch starts, got a bit of carbon build up on the outer side of sleeve but well tight still.

Wow that came quick how long did it take to come exactly mate?
Do like the purple head must admit the boring black cooling heads have always let the Force mills down!
Be very interested how this mill performs & breaks in if you decide use it?
When ever I look up mills on there I go through to check out & cost jumps up to over £240! 👎🏻🤬

Hello mate, It took 10 days from order to delivery, pretty dame good. Yer as you say the black heads on the Force are dull looking.
Got no intension of running it yet, may do one day. At the mo just another queen getting another new mill, like I said haven't stated the Force .32 and turns out it was 4 years ago I bought that one, don't time fly.
Yer think I was well lucky with this one, the store I got it from only had 2 for sale, 1 with the black head which was sold and this one.

Well it looks like I paid £152 not £142 but still a bargain.
