Hi Bill,
Nope, I don't buy the marketing argument.I think word of mouth & all the info(& BS) on the net supersedes the hype & advertisments.When the RCShowcase ads first came out I was not impressed...paid no attention...yeah,they looked like overgrown glow engines.But it didn't take long for the word to get out on RCO & other forums as to how great these engines are.
Yeah,like I said before the 2.6 has some impressive numbers.But the Taurus 3.2..superior?...I don't think so.Two examples on rcfaq with a Menz 20x10 @ 7200 & a Menz 21x10 @ 6900.That ain't nothin' to yell about.My Brison 3.2 will turn the 21x10 @ 7200. The Taurus might be smoother but I don't care,I'll take the power.If the big Taurus twins were equal or superior to the others,guys would be using them...we would know..hype or not.
