Following the strong market response to the CISON L4-175 released in November 2022 and the L4-205 launched in February 2025, the newly upgraded CISON L4-26CC Micro Inline Four-Cylinder Engine is now officially introduced. While continuing the classic strengths of the series, it achieves a significant leap in both power and user experience. This engine inherits the family’s compact micro inline structure, balancing flexible installation with efficient space compatibility. It comes standard with electric start, triple piston rings, a wet water-cooling system, and an independent lubrication system. Combined with a four-in-one CDI direct ignition setup, it ensures smooth starting and stable operation. Visually, it returns to a classic aesthetic design, featuring a red cylinder head cover paired with a silver engine block, offering both display appeal and collectible value. The newly integrated exhaust manifold delivers a more distinctive engine sound, while the upgraded independent carburetor allows easier tuning and significantly enhances operational smoothness and reliability. Core performance has been comprehensively upgraded. Displacement increases from 20.5cc to 26cc, with both bore and stroke enlarged, resulting in over 20% higher power output. Compatibility with RC vehicle models is further improved, making it suitable for modification projects or display collections. The product remains available in two versions: a KIT assembly edition and a fully pre-assembled version, meeting different preferences for hands-on building or ready-to-run applications.

I purchased the engine and the transmission for a model I am building. Soon found out the trans will not available for several months. I asked about an adapter so I could use the power shift six speed trans. No, that is not available either. So I decided to make an adapter myself. And yes it was a pain to design and build. I made around 7 or 8 versions on the 3D printer. After deciding on which version to use, I cut it out of aluminum. It looks pretty good and it works very well
