The Super Tiger, GMS, and Tower engines are all made by the same (GMS) company and share some of the same problems
That is not quite true...
The design of the ST differ greatly from the GMS/T.H.
I've got a bunch of all three.
The GMS & Tower Hobbies engines differ primarily in slight changes to the displacement, but otherwise they are identical.
The S.T. engines are a different beast altogether. The S.T. uses an entirely DIFFERENT type of design for everything, down to the materials used.
What makes an engine better?
A ringed piston with BB crank or a non ringed piston with a BB or non BB crank?
I guess this topic can go on for ever but for the prices you can't go wrong.
I assume some cheap engines just wear out sooner but still stick together at those high RPM's
