Need help narrowing down a few engine choices
#1
alright, i have an Ofna Hyper 7 Pro buggy and i want a new motor for it. Of course i want somethin hot and want to get back into racing again in the summer, been out for a few years. I have narrowed it down to a few motors as of right now. I have been looking at an RB WS7 2 or 3, a nova P5X and have been leaning the most towards a Werks B7. If you guys could give me any feedback and what ya think i should get and why and even suggestions on something different i would really appreciate it, thanx

WHat do you know about those motors? (NOT being a smartass...) I thought we'd stay within the brands he named.

RB they last and last and are super smooth, pricer than the others but you get what you pay for.

Well, I own a Novarossi/Crono motor and they are very good. But I think they are a bit over priced, albiet well marketed. All I can say is I've heard a lot of great things about these Go Tech engines on several forums and that piqued my curiousity. Now that I see A-Main has them, I'm sold. I talked to Chris at A-Main and he's a big supporter of these engines. I trust A-Main so I'm going to buy one. That's it.

Kinda like when people on here had no confidence in the STS motors. Well they kick ass too.

i would stick to a rb, just for their life, and ease to tune. IMO

Go with RB, Werks or Sirio!!!! The NR stuff is great too, but the P5 has alot of torque and can be a handful at times.

thanx for all the info guys, i am still stumped...i have an STS .30 in my dominator and it is absolutely unbelievable. i ran .12 STS motors in my touring cars a few years back and they were awesome too, tons of power and very easy to tune. the sts .21's dont really awe me like the 12's used to so i think i am going to go wit either a WS7 or the P5X since they are very well proven and Werks seems to be a newer company
