How are the budget 3 port engines on top end power and speed? My last engine was a Novarossi
R21BF 6 port, and it was friggen awesome, but I just ran my car into a water filled ditch yesterday, and it's toast. Any suggestions. Oh and by the way, yes it's totally toast, broken piston.

That depends on what you're looking at. There is a huge degree of variation in budget 3 port engines.
Whats your definition of budget? below $200??

I think you will be very pleased with the Go Tech 3 port R or the 5 port. Both are very good engines.

Check out RCLoverz.com. If the website says out of stock still e-mail Luis Vazquez at [email protected]. If you order it from him, he can get the engine shipped straight from the distributor to you.

You can also contact Brian Carey

Cool, thanks. I guess I'll have to email him because I didn't even see the 3 Port listed on the site.

I never really check his website. I just e-mail him directly. He e-mailed me a few weeks ago to let me know he just got some 3 port R Specs in stock.
