Engine question: Novarossi or O.S.

[motoxer4life]

ive narrowed it down to O.S. and Novarossi i was wondering which is better between them like...

-Easy tuning
-Good quality
-Good warranty
-And most of all, SPEED/DURABILITY.

[motoxer4life]

price range is prolly... $150 up to like 250 mabye???
will it b more?

[Ponch]

OS .21 VG- Easy to tune, plenty of power, $150.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

VG sorry roc lol

[motoxer4life]

how about exhaust pipes for the os engines and how about starter boxes for them. any recommendations? and i was just wondering like i have a rotostart for my savage x. say i had a rotostart on the os engine would i still be able to use a starter box or do i have to have a special setup for a starter box? Like can i put a pullstart on the engine and use that when i feel like it and use the starter box whenever i feel like it?
Thanks alot, Nick.

p.s. Sorry for being a post whore im new to racing and im just trying to learn alot of stuff about it rwal quick before i get my 8ight.

how about exhaust pipes for the os engines

Os 2050, JP-1, JP-3

and how about starter boxes for them.

For an 8ight, the most recommended is the Mugen starter box

any recommendations? and i was just wondering like i have a rotostart for my savage x. say i had a rotostart on the os engine would i still be able to use a starter box or do i have to have a special setup for a starter box?

You could, but it'd potentially reduce the speed of your engine. With a bump box you have the least resistance in the engine therefore the most power.

Like can i put a pullstart on the engine and use that when i feel like it and use the starter box whenever i feel like it?

Theoretically yes.

pipe nothing but 2050 or 2060 and ponch not theoretically actually

[motoxer4life]

alright but if i do get a starter box and not get a pullstart on the engine what am i supposed to put in the hole where the pull start would originally go?

[motoxer4life]

and where would you recommend me buying all these parts from online?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

buy the non p/s version of the motor, i dont think a pull start version is even offered. bmainhobbies.com or amainhobbies.com

[Traxxas_Junkee]

There is a pull start version for the RG.

[motoxer4life]

see i dont know what does the "p" after the name mean pull start?
And if i dont get one w/ a pullstart can i use a starter box for a litle bit then put in a pull start or do i have to just buy one w/o the pullstart?
Is there a special name for an engine that works well w/ a starter box like o.s. .21... sb or somethin?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

dont get a pullstart motor u will regret, p means pilot shaft

pullstart

and like i said the RG is DISCONTINUED

[motoxer4life]

so i want a pilot shaft?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

thats how almost every single motor comes, the alternative would be a threaded shaft which was an old GT thing

[motoxer4life]

i no that but what type do i want to get for a startrer box? pilot shaft or no?

[Ponch]

That has nothing to do with it.


Starter boxes, just about any car can be lined up on any box. I suggested the mugen because the 8ight has a semi-small flywheel opening. The mugen box is supposed to have a slightly smaller wheel that works great with the 8ight.

[motoxer4life]

alright thanks guys

Get the VG. Make sure it is non pullstart, and get a starter box. That will be the best overall setup IMO. I had pullstart motors and non pullstart motors..... non pullstart is just far more reliable. (Less parts to break in/on the actual motor.)
