I just got the Thunder Tiger PRO 21B-R for $105 and I only got 1 tank through it but it looks very promising.

I posted my 'preview' with pictures of it on our forums. Read [link=http://www.team-corr.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=210]this[/link] thread.

Besides that the RG is a solid buy. Can't go wrong with it.

I have about ten tanks now through my hyper 8 port and I have yet to see all the bad things people say about this engine I have it in a revo geared 18/38 and the engine hauls, starts right up, idles smooth, and will even pop wheelies so I just don't get it. the only bad thing if that is what you wanna call it is the engine takes almost 2 minutes too warm up initially and after each fill up it still takes at least a minute but after it warms it's great.

Gonna put a solid gallon through it this weekend and if it survives and still no issues I am gona order another one for back up

Hyper 21 8-port is a screamer. I had mine tuned perfectly and never had to fix an airleak or chase the tune. I thrashed the heck out of it in my Savage. Dead on true: Liked to warm up alot. Very true.

For bigger engines, there is the Sportwerks .26 (also its twin is the Mach 26). You have the Mach.28 and a newcomer with good reviews, the Axial .28

The above-mentioned engines are priced nicely, too.
