Status: offline 		I am not dissing the Jammin 28 as I haven't run it. I can tell you that I'd get the OS28 in a heartbeat. I've got it and the power is everywhere and runtimes are outstanding. I ran a 15 min main 2 weeks ago and only had to pit once. The knock on 28's is crappy runtimes for racing and sometimes it's accurate (Nova 528, craploads of power,better pit every 5 minutes!) but this is a race engine thru and thru.

Pull the trigger Townsley and drop the cash and you won't be sorry!!!!!! I get 8.5-9 mins on a tank when i put a losi 8 tank in i was getting 10 easy, my wife gets 9-11 mins but she drives alot slow no WOT all the way around for her hahahahaha

15minute runs? wow thats unheard of. OS has a lot variety in their engines models, are you talking about OS vspec or xz or vg or speed or ... ?

Status: offline 		I have both JPX 28 as well as OS 28.......... I Like the OS alot, but I like the JPX better...... the JPX has a better powerband with more even power from idle to top end..........modded vs modded the JPX to me feels much better then the OS 28 does...
