Engine for Losi 8ight
I am continuing to read the vast amount of information on this site and it has helped me to decide to purchase the Losi 8ight. I might race locally and was wondering what engine should I put in this thing and what pipe. I plan on only spending about 300 bucks on the engine. It appears that the O.S. .21 VZ-B V-Spec-T (P) ( I don't know what all those letters mean) is a viable option.
Any information would be appreciated as I am new to the sport even though I had about 4 r/c cars in the mid 80's to mid 90's.

Dynamite Platinum .21 Sportwerks HT pipe
Werks B7 .21 Werks 2013 pipe
OS V-spec JP3 pipe
RB C6 JP3 pipe
All are smokin motors, just depends on what you want to spend.

Also depends on what kind of tracks you will be racing on. Shorter, more techincal tracks require a low end engine. Top end engines are more suited towards larger, less techincal tracks.
