You might want to try and find an SH .21 engine on ebay or something. Everyone I know who's had an SH engine has loved it. If the .21 is like the .28 and .18 that SH makes then it should be a great basher engine.

Hyper .21 3-ports... I got 2 for $75/ea that were pulled from new Hyper 7 TQ blacks. I have always liked Hyper engines. Go on eBay and search for '21 engine', then go to buy it now and then lowest price first. Once you get past all of the parts you will see the deals on the engines. There are always some good STS motors and others <$100.

I think for $100 bones shipped, you probably could have picked up a name brand guy. I am not sure why you didn't go for the Ofna Hyper 21 3 Ports or the STS 21. You just sailed yourself down the river for tech support and replacement parts. What if the pullstart gives? Where do you get a replacement?
Well, anyways, let us know. Maybe you found the best kept secret $70 engine ever.

Actually that engine is sold in the US also as a Orion Wasp, Peak Diablo, Fantom FR21 '03-'05 and the Infinity. Just different heads, and names on the cases.

those are the worst engines ever built, your going to have nothing but problems with it......absolute waste of money I am sorry to say..... if you can cancel the order please do, those engines are extremely bad engines.....Please cancel the order and spend more on a better engine, you will thank me !!! Also this is not a personal stab at you. Toki are truly that bad and are no longer in business...

To bad Thunder Tiger does not make theirs any more! I do not think they make any .21 worth having under $120. SH makes some very good low budget engines in that price range.

When I had my Fantom and Wasp, I never had any problems with it. Ran about 6-7 gals thru each of em. The only thing about the engine is the low end needle is a little finnicky. always needed to be adjusted, but not much more within a 1/4 turn either direction.

I have 4 STS engines and some with well over 5 gallons on them. I have enough engines right now for my buggies but am going to get another one for my race Savage when money permits and it will be either a Picco or a LRP.

Anybody ever try the GO .21 3port SPORT motor. My friend just bought one and it seems pretty quick and good bottom end for around $120 bucks.
