What kind of engine would be best for racing and bashing. Hi hp or reliability with slighty lower H
What do you all think, a truck equipped for racing and bashing, but would i be better off with a high horse finicky motor, like the picco .26 can be at times, a good old reliable stock OS .21. Does hp actually win more races at the track all things being equal, except for drivers or will the lower hp motors with a good driver be in the hunt for the win.
The thing is all of us are guilty at looking at the horsepower numbers, just like when a guy looks at an average babe compared to an extrordinary babe, which are you better off with!!

Anywho, you want to race? OS has a new engine that is the fastest .21 on the market: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXGPF0&P=ML downside is that its 300 bucks.

Actually it is the fastest engine, doesnt mean you will be the fastest on the track. The OS team just needs some work, but otherwise, in the rest of the 1/8th buggy racing, you see the 777 on top with this engine. Heck even RCCA deemed the OS the fastest .21 available.

RCCA is biased. I will say the OS is a great engine, but you can not say the fastest with the Likes of the RB WS7II, RB C5, Collari .21's, JP Modified engines, or even TOP engines all which get little to no respect from most of the Magazines....why? because they are harder to get and less known.
