Default RE: Looking for a decent engine

I am also a moderator of this forum, and I will side with DHG on this issue. The MA props perform fine and have some nice characteristics for props spinning less than 18,000 rpms. The racers out there consistently break 20k and the MA props just aren't up to the task.

If your happy with a 120 mph "extreme speed" patriot with Jett .90 it may be fine at 17k, but at 20+ you are asking for trouble with a MA prop. There is a reason that they are not allowed in even our lowest levels of racing classes.

You can say what you want about the speeds of either props, but I'm not aware of too many APC props failing at standard racing rpm.
