A new engine developed from the Laser 150 to give an engine with wide torque band and useful rpm range. With greater power than the 150 and capable of using propellers in the 16-18’’ range the 155 can be used in sport, aerobatic or scale models with ease due to only a small increase in physical size over the 150.
For aerobatic models a 16×8/10 should be used for maximum performance, WW2 Scale models can be flown using a 17×8 which provides high thrust with low noise. If 17’’ props are not enough then the Laser 155 can swing 18×8 props with sufficient authority to be comparable with some 180 4 strokes and these larger propellers are ideal for scale biplanes.
With dimensions smaller than any of its competitors, a broad range of torque and crisp throttle response the Laser 155 is perfectly suited to any model calling for 120-180 4 strokes.

You Must Read and accept the below before purchasing this Laser Engine
Fuel tank placement and installation.
Proper fuel tank placement is critical for the reliable running of all non pumped glow engines. Failure to install the fuel tank correctly will result in tuning difficulty, high fuel consumption, unreliability, and a variety of other problems.
Due to the location of the Laser carburettor special attention must be paid to the location of the tank and modifications to the airframe will be required if it has been configured for an engine from another brand. This will be most
pronounced when engines are installed inverted as the fuel tank will need to sit very low, likely on the fuselage floor. In the case of many WWII fighters the tank may protrude into the wing seat area and the leading edge of the wing
may need to be recessed to allow clearance for the tank.
The relationship between the tank outlet and fuel nipple on the carburettor is not important. For optimum placement the top of the tank should align with the centre of the carburettor and as close to the engine as possible. Any formers or
structure in the way should be removed and the tank lowered. An alternative structure can then be built which allows for the tank to be lowered but retains the integrity of the model. On rare occasions where it will not be possible to modify
the model to suit an inverted installation (for example a Tucano or PC9 with nose leg retract) the engine should be mounted on its side to ensure proper tank placement.
Do not attempt to fit muffler pressure, fuel pumps, regulators or header tanks as experience has shown the reliability and performance of these modifications to be very poor. We will also be unable to offer technical support on running
problems if the fuel system is of an unknown and untested configuration. For these reasons it is essential that every effort is made to ensure fuel tanks are installed in the correct position.
