Yeah I had a black magic, and it was black magic like Voodoo, and it was magic if you could keep it running for a tank... I did like the xanadu cooling head though. If I wouldnt of got it for free there is no way I would of bought one.

Well good luck with your OS purchase, Its just I am leary with OS none seem to last real long, yeah they have a warranty but its kinda like Hitec, they have to warranty because they know they wont last. Yeah they may warranty it but that means you will be with out for a while, and you are in a position where you dont have a back up engine. So for the xtra few $$ I would want the assurance of a reliable engine like the Werks. Plus when you ask a question on the grid, Ron from Werks is right there to answer your ??

Yeah, I agree with Czech, I have the RG (old version of VG) and I'm looking to getting a different one for outdoor. I like how the motor is for inside, but I don't think its going to have the top end necessary for outdoor.

Damn... Jacking a thread to show off... J/K Smile

None of those engines (with the exception of the SW .26, which isn't "legal") can be had for the price range Tex is looking for.

Difference is, Tex can tune... He's gotten me out of a few bad tunes when I was starting out.

Tex, take a serious look at the Sportwerks .21. For your price range I think it would be a very good engine. It has more than enough power even for outside. It would be my choice for the money.

Tex, if new is what you want then the SW .21v2, The Novarossi 21BF, and the Go Tech .21 5 port are all a great choices. I own all three.

The Go Tech has the most HP and is about comparable to a V-Spec but smoother and not quite the fuel economy but still 9 minutes with a 9886 pipe or a SW HT pipe. This is according to the dyno at EB Mods. and can be viewed here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_497816...ey_/tm.htm

More good info: http://www.ofna.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5030 Russell Jones is on both of these threads often for tech support. He's a racer and the US importer.
