I haven't yet seen the new mufflers, I'll have to take a look. I've had excellent luck with Saitos and really like the way they run, so I'll work around things if I have to. In fact, I hate Horizon hobbies, but I love Saitos and JR radios, so I'm stuck with Horizon, like it or not.

I've given some thought to Magnums, but my hobby shop guy has told me that Global is killing him by gouging on shipping costs, so he might discontinue all his Global products soon if they don't straighten that out. They charged him $45.00 to ship a ground package you or I could ship for 10 or 12 dollars on 2nd day air. Much as I like Magnums, that's too iffy for my liking, when I had my hobby shop I would have given some serious thought to cutting Global....or anybody.... off for gouging like that. Not cool.

So, I'll approach the engine thing slowly and see what takes shape. No need to rush anyway with a questionable release date.
