What is the O'donnel engine exactly - a VSPEC clone or what???


VSPEC's have great power, but they do have a rep for needing new bearings very early, and losing compression quickly, or outright just dying early(I've seen it happen at local races a couple times.. - newish VSPEC's kicking the bucket.. And not in the hands of clueless newbs either..) For me anyway, based on what I've read, I would think twice or three times about getting a VSPEC.. I like the power I've seen from them.. But I don't want to have to replace bearings or have it just die at a gallon... Just my personal take on it though, so no offense to the hardcore VSPEC fans...

The new V-specs are much better, issues have been basicly completely eradicated.
