Hero Section: Nitro Power in the Palm of Your Hand
Experience the thrill of nitro combustion with this VX Level 15 Methanol Engine Generator Set. This isn't just a model; it's a fully functional, micro power plant powered by a high-performance 2-stroke methanol (nitro) engine. Pre-assembled and tuned on a sleek metal base, it transforms the screaming power of an RC engine into usable 12V electricity. Whether you're a mechanics enthusiast looking for a desktop demonstration or a DIYer needing a unique portable charger, this set delivers raw mechanical excitement.
Why Choose This VX Methanol Generator?
- Ready-to-Run (RTR) Convenience: Skip the complex assembly. This unit arrives fully built and debugged. It includes the essential igniter and spark plug. Simply add your methanol fuel, perform a quick tune, and pull the starter. It’s the easiest way to get into nitro engines.
- Genuine VX Level 15 Power: At its heart beats a genuine VX Level 15 engine, known for its reliability and steady idle. It provides a visceral auditory and olfactory experience that electric motors simply can't match.
- Stable 12V Output: Equipped with a voltage stabilizer, this generator converts the engine's RPMs into a steady ~12V DC output. It’s perfect for charging mobile phones, power banks, or powering LED lighting rigs during outdoor experiments or emergencies.
- Compact & Elegant Design: Mounted on a custom metal base plate, the entire setup measures just 12 x 9 x 13 cm and weighs under 1kg. It’s portable, stable, and looks like a piece of precision industrial art on your workbench.

Important Tips:
- Power Limitations: This is a micro-generator designed for low-power applications (charging phones, LEDs, small batteries). Do not attempt to power high-wattage household appliances.
- Fuel Handling: Methanol/Nitro fuel requires care. Ensure proper ventilation. The engine will get hot during operation.
- DIY Nature: As a hand-assembled DIY product, minor cosmetic imperfections (scratches) on the base are normal and do not affect performance.
- Maintenance: Like all nitro engines, it requires after-run oil and occasional tuning for optimal performance.
