Default Good motor and accessories for the Jammin?

Ok, thanks to you guys on here, decided I was just going to buy the Jammin' kit. Not planning on racing, but ya never know, and as in like everything I get into, I usually will spend the extra $ to do it right.

What is a good reliable motor for this, and also exhaust. I would like to get a .25 or .26. My main factor would be reliablility, and then performance, considering that this will again be mainly used for recreation. Also, what type should I be looking for as far as starting, (pull, electric, etc)

I have a basically new Airtronics controller that I have had a few years,but, throw in any suggestions on other items I should be looking at to get this set-up correctly, as in stronger servos, cut out, etc.

Thanks...

Get an o.s. 21rg and never worry about your engine again.

Thats a really good engine even though its a .21, for pipe selection I would go with the JP-1 pipe from jammin. If you want a .26 I would go with the mach 26 or sportwerks .26, both are very similar and kick butt.

Im running the jp-1 pipe also on this engine in my hyper 7 and its a screamer. Mine is the PS version, Im not sure if they make it without the PS, I think the SW .21 comes without the PS.

If your not worried about money and are thinking about racing then I would get the Novarossi P5. because if you plan on racing then a .21 is the only legal motor But the OS .21 RG is a great mill to though I just finished third in the a-main last night and ran my RG The JAMMIN pipes are probaly the best on the market and as for servos I would get the airtronics 94358 for steering and the 94359 for throttle/break and you will never have to worry about it again

I have the PCR version and I love it, I beat the crap out of it every weekend bashing hard not racing and its very difficult to break anything on it, its a real tank of a buggy. The only thing that breaks/bends on it are hinge pins and pillow balls.
