That one is the 2002 version.
I would think that this one is newer:

I have also been looking at the engine, does anyone run one and how does it compare to other top of the line engines. like os and novarossi, and others. i dont have the money to spend on those motors but if it will last as long then i think i might get one. also does anyone know where they are made?

I race one...it replaced my Vspecs...it does not have the insane lowend of a Nova or OS...but it is all that i could ever need...Top end is plenty and will pull the whole length of the strait...just by switching from this motor from my vspec..i dropped time in my laps...its rediculously smooth...

So if im not planning on racing, am i better off going with a bigger engine say .26 or .27. i will be switching between a buggy and truggy, so i was looking at the sportwerks .26. which is also made by sh, would that be a good engine to go with or maybe like the os rg or somthing like that?
