No they don't all have the same horse power and they are all very durable, some being more durable than others.

your question is a little hard to answer in a post...that's the sort of thing you need to do some research on for yourself....check the manufacturer's sites for engine specs and MSRP.....if you are looking for what engine you should buy that's another set of criteria you can use to narrow your research.......and then when you have more specific questions do a site search or google search......if those don't answer the question making a thread (of course) would be the next best thing......

I would go with the RB's. The sirios have good horsepower but they are not lasting as long as the rb's. I hope this helps.

Ok If you are going to invest in an engine here are some factors that can help you decide:

1.) For race or bash or both? Mugens do not except pullstarts( I know my X5 won't unless you get a custom one done)
2.) Pullstart is ok but if its a nonpullstart, you will need a staterbox.
3.) How are your tuning skills? If you are still new to the game then try a lower end engine and learn from that.Better to learn with a cheaper engine rather an expensive one.
4.) what is your budget?


In my opinion, I would look in to getting an OS engine or an Ofna.
