Psnell, You got your self one good truck. You just need to complete it with a good engine. You will want a .12 sized engine because those are the only ones that are permitted in sanctioned races. Some you might want to look at is the Fantom FR .12, and Mugen MT 12. If I were you I would get a Slide Carb because these are more precise. Some people prefer a rotary for off-road, but I do not understand why anyone wouldn't want a Slide for everything. Those are the only two engines I can think of right now, but I know other people will add the ones that I have forgot to post.

Status: offline 		I think the OS motors are awesome. They are real user friendly. I have an OS .15 cvrx and it is more power than i need. I have a rotary carb on it and it is fine. The difference is that slide carbs are good for acceleration and top end where as rotary is for good mid range.
