So...I *think* I've made my decision on what to throw in my Mugen. And (not surprisingly) it's not one on my initial list.
<u>Werks B6 Competiion</u>. Much of this is based on talking with folks at the track, and the track layout, etc. Lot of guys running these and having good success, which is enough for me. Granted 90% of them have something called a ''clocked engine'' ;-)
I really came close to the Ninja (or clocked P5). But my rationale is this: Do I really anticipate losing a race because I'm not running a Ninja (or even a clocked engine)? No. I anticipate losing because I'm new and need lots of practice. ;-) I figure by the time I'd at the point I can really compete, I'll have put 5+ gallons in the Werks. If I like it, I stay with it (perhaps even get one clocked). If not, I upgrade to something else. As for the pipe, I'm looking at the 2013. I really think over the next eight months, I'll get a feel for what I am missing, and then at that time go whole hog on what is best suited for me.</p>
Probably your best bet quite honestly.... as I do not think your ready for a modified engine quite yet ..... you still have plenty to learn before I would feel comfortable selling you a modified engine anyways......
lol, WHUT?
Have you even seen the guy race to make that judgment?
I would hand over my 6S truggy to John to drive on any given Sunday. Anyone who races weekly as he does, has more than enough skills to handle
any nitro engine. Unless the 'clocking' process involves installing a dilithium chamber and warp core? lololololol.
I'm only playin with you mate, but really...that was a cracker.
By the way John, my only remaining nitro engine (and its not even in a car at the moment) is my Ninja .28, loved that engine, what a beast, bottom and top end in spades.
Well if you ever hit a track with me, that 6S setup would end up being nothing more then a pylon there buddy ! [X(] LOL J/K
Its not driving the engine that is the issue, its tuning,setup and caring for the engine that could be the issue..... a high strung modified is not something meant for a novice just starting out...Too much can go wrong far too quickly for me to feel comfortable recommending one to John at this point in the game......Contrary to what some here may try to say, I am not the type to sell my engines to anyone with no discretion towards who is buying them......
Ninja 28 is pretty fast, but still just a wee little baby compared to the Clocked engines....
