Default Engine size -

I just don't get it. Everyone thinks a bigger engine is always better and faster.

Then why is it at the track you can almost any .25 or .26 engine and use the same buggy with a .21 and beat the bigger engine everytime.

I called OFNA asking them what is big deal with these engines. They say the bigger engines are good for low end torque. Not top end speed. They say if you are looking at racing go with a 21. For acceleration and top end you can get more out of a good .21 than any of the .25's and .26's.

So tell me why does everyone make such a big deal out of these big engines? I think it is a way that they can suck more money out of us. Sell something that is bigger and cheaper and over all performance and life and sell it for more money. JMO
