I'm thinking of starting out with a novarossi T21BF. Is it as reliable as the higher end (priced) nova's? I don't need the craziest power output just yet. I need to learn to drive one of these things first. What do you guys think? What pipe works well with this motor?

BF is a great motor. I run a NR9853 on mine. Really havent tried other pipes.

You could also look into the RB econo 3-port.

For me it was ethier the Novarossi Bf21 or the rb....
I went with the Nova just by seeing how fast Jb's was and how flawlessly it ran....
Ive run a 9853 nova pipe and now have a jp-2 on it... Both work extremly well...
This was also the easiest break in ever! Still on the stock plug! I love this mill! Hope my p5x is almost as good!

I also have the 21BF. It has enough power for me just getting into 1/8 and I am using a JP-2.

Best bang for the buck is the STS Team .21: http://www.racernine.com/sts21team.html
Check out the dyno results of the other STS motors in comparison to others that cost much more: http://www.nitrodynesystems.com/Engine%20Database.htm
Another great motor for the money: http://www.shengines.com/tech_data_new_pt2004-xb1.htm

Rocco, I said "bang for the buck" not cheapest. It's a hand modded filled crank .21 for $195 shipped. That's amazing IMO.

He said he doesn't want a crazy fast motor to start with, there is always next season for mod motors.
I say RB 3 port econo. There is a new one to be had at the Tiltyard forums (new forums, like the grid) for $150 shipped NIB. There is also a guy there selling a used one for $90 shipped (like 6-8 tanks on it, break in not even done, seems like a reputable guy)
Cory Crosley runs one and his has enough power for anything that I've seen.
My next BB will be an RB, one way or another.
Dan Youngblood has a .21BF that he's not using, it's has like 3 tanks on it. He attemped to put it on his revo and he didn't like all the mods involved so he went with something else. I can see if he wants to sell it if your interested in going that route. He'd probably do like $140 or something. not sure though.

RB all the way. The 3-port is the motor Cory runs and he loves it. Also the RB S7II is another excellent choice. GQ Johnny loves his to death and its very smooth fast, like me.

I would strongly suggest and RB s5 or WS7II or S7. The Rb motors are great beginner mills that are also great for highly competetive racing. They WILL make u a smoother driver. I like the nova's but I still think they have too much low end. The RB's are so smooth on the bottom that u cant get urself into trouble, but u can stil easily clear jumps.

WS7II has definitly(sp) made me a better driver. The RB 3-port for $150 from Homer is a killer deal for anyone. Cory qualed 4th in the A-main at round one with his.

Hell yeah go for the RB.... been eyeballing some RB's myself. From what I've seen from the locals running them, they are smooth and seem to have good gas mileage.

Cory kicks azz with his against pros with Pro-mills, the kid got mad skillz and he doesnt need tons of motor. The RB motors just are great stuff. Mikey has a 14 gallon WS7II. long lasting.
