well i'm the type of guy who will spend the extra buck when it comes to having a good engine so i'll probably look for a super tiger or os cause thats what i get good service with around hear. i just seen a new one on ebay for $60 and figured it was a good deal but i had never heard of that engine before
I'd say its DEFINITELY at least worth the extra $$ and buying this thing from a real hobby shop, not ebay, in case something's not right.
I'm in a bargain shopping position for an engine too. Super Tigre's are pretty inexpensive from Tower, and both Tower and Super Tigre have great customer service. Although they're out of stock on the smaller engines, both companies said they are scheduled for an April 1st delivery (supposedly a large order), and Tower does have tons of parts in stock. I think there's a free shipping for orders over $50 from Tower floating around somewhere, so you can order now and get a power-packed little engine for under $70 (muffler and glow plug included).
If I had the $$ I'd get a Thunder Tiger.
