the towerhobbies .75 is by far the best bang for the buck and it runs smoothly and flawless
Yup... A stump puller, cheap & reliable.

I've also have had very good luck with the SuperTigres once I learned how to cure the engine's transition problems.

Everyone complains that they can get a good idle but poor transition, or good transition, but bad ( too rich ) idle, no matter what they do.

Taking a page from a fix I saw for a .46 engine on Sport's Flyer Mag... I merely remove the throttle barrel, file a small 3-4mm half moon circle at the most closed point of the throttle barrel, clean and re-inserts.

This allows me to richen the low end, thereby fixing the transition, while that small half moon cutout, leans the now rich idle setting.

I've fixed three engines this way and all work great after the change.
