What engine for the buck

[SuperMaxx83]

well the new race season is almost hear and i need new power for the nerw year i have about 300 to 375 to spend and i want something i can run in my buggy(ofna) or my truggy(lsp) i need lots of power on low end but the same on top end i want something that is farley easy to tune and isnt going to kill me when it comes time to rebuild for next year. also something that will lasst me for all of my races i race intown 12 times a year and the have 2 heats and a main then i race out of town and they also run 2 heats but then they run 2 mains but they have many more races then we do hear so keep that in mind let me know what you guys think then i will let you know on a decision

I say the new C5BB for one mill, but I would buy a P5 and save some money, and when it comes time buy another one.

[vbgagnon]

The WS73 is supposed to be kick ass too. Its all prefrence man.

[SuperMaxx83]

is the p 5 easy to tune and where can i find it for the cheapest and and who makes the other one you mentioned what about that new os 30 or the 21

[vbgagnon]

If you race sanctioned races you won't be able to run the 30 in your buggy, the OS 21 seems to be hit or miss. Some have bearing problems and some don't.

RB products makes the C5bb and the ws7 3.

Do some searching for the best price, try pdl racing on ebay. They usually have the best prices. The JP 5port is great too.

i dont race sanctioned so i dont have to worry but ill look into the other engines

[SuperMaxx83]

i have been looking fo rthe engines you said but i cant find where to buy them who makes them and where can i find them

[vbgagnon]

RB products makes them try www.crispycrittershobbyshop.com I know they have some there. Also a-mainhobbies.com.

down here they limit you to a .21 engine...isnt it like that there?

[vbgagnon]

If you want the best bang for buck I would not go with a wasp. If you don't want to spend as much as the mills I showed you, try the novarossi 3 port, its got excellent low end grunt and with a 086 or jp2 pipe will have high end as well.

Best engines for the buck:

.21 only: OS RG Cheapest engine I know of (109.00), ultra reliable, good performance (though not what you would see out of a 300+ dollar engine)

.21+: Sportwerks .26 (130.00, 145.00 w/ pullstart eliminating backplate) Best engine for the money if .21 isn't a rule where you race. Tons of power, will not fall far behind a high priced engine, and does it for less than half the cost. That means you could run one, grenade it, and buy another one, and still have money to buy glow plugs before you ever hit the cost of say a V-Spec Nova, or RB.

i have a sportwerks .26 (2 of them) and granted i like them but i have heard soem good stuff about the lrp z.28 and i was wondering if it is better then the sportwerks alps or track doesnt have any rules about what size motors you run we just startd and thats they way we do it up here im not worried about raor or nothing but ill keep the motors that you guys told me about but what motor are you talking about os rg .21 where can i find this motor and would it work good for a buggy and a truggy i will be racing against the new hellfire and jammins new truggy and i dont want to be left behind
