Engine Factories?
What are the major engine factories and what brands come from each factory? I have heard that Toki is one, I am assuming Novarossi has one, what others are there?

Nova Rossi is 3 manufacturers. Nova Rossi, Rex, and Top...With several rebadged Nova Rossi's like the Crono's. RB Concept has Nova Rossi make their parts, but they are designed by RB Concepts, just made by Nova Rossi.
GRP Italy is probably the biggest up and comer for engine manufacturing, and possibly the only manufacturer capable of taking Nova Rossi down from their top spot as engine manufacturers go. They make the Ninjas (MY FAVORITE, right now)which are doing well everywhere, and the Boss line that has been kicking tail over in Europe...Very high quality engines...Very fast...
Picco Micromotor is also an Italian based engine manufacturer that makes very high quality engines.
There are several Asian engine manufacturers ( I don't know the Asian manufacturers that well), one makes the Force engines(also makes the engines for HPI Savages), SH engines, STS engines, and so on...
Have Fun...Burn Nitro...

RE: Engine Factories?
CMB is another Italian manufacturer. They are most known for their marine engines (.21, .45, .67, .84, .90, .100 sizes) but they also have a line of car engines.
CMB also manufactured the MAC line of engines designed by Andy Brown. They were also mainly marine engines (MAC 21, 45, 67, 84) but they had a buggy engine too (of which I own 2). The contract between Andy Brown is over and from what I heard he's looking for another manufacturer.
There are a few Russian manufacturers too. I used to run the Kalistratov 45, also a marine engine.

In Italy there are also Rossi, making the (Axe) Rossi engines, and Star Motor making Sirio and RB Speedline engines.
I can't believe noone mentioned O.S. yet.
LRP and Nosram engines are made by the same company that produces SH.
