NovaRossi Rex - R21BF 3 port - pwnzor - 12-25-2006
I am in the near future going to get away from my pull start engine. I will run it until it siezes, then im going to make the change to real engine / starter box. I was looking on A-main at engines an this was like one of the cheapest with the best reviews.......it was only $180.....Also, I am running a 9.5mbx pro now, soon to get a truggy, can i get one starter box that will work for both vehicles ( if so which one ) also, will this engine work good for truggy as well? is a Jp-2 good pipe for it, thats what i currently have on my 9.5.

Its a great buggy engine ( i own one with 4 gallons on it) but it doesnt enough for any truggy on the market... IMO...
Try a 5 port like a p5x . Throws my truggy around

ok cool man, what about starter box Rocco?

I picked one of these up lightly used and LOVE it... Its so light. But you need to stick packs for it...

This is similar to the one i had before... Strong as heck but heavy due to the gel cell battery

The second one that Rocco suggested is the one I have. I reallly like it...lots of power & seems to work with just about anything.

Check out my post for a charger/batteries for starter box

the one im looking at needs a gel cell, it wont support 7.2V packs, its the Ofna10248 chrome top

3 ports generally have more low end than higher port motors...the mid and top is what shines more in the higher port motors.
I've never owned a BF but looking at the power it provides I would think it would be enough in a truggy.....just an assumption/opinion
NovaRossi Rex - R21BF 3 port - pwnzor - 12-29-2006
that would be nice if it did, I can use it in my buggy, then when i get my truggy I will have good engine for it, I am also bidding on a #10249 starter box w/gel cell on E-bay
