I would love to hear a review on them. I have yet to hear people talk about them in the buggy forums, which leaves me to believe they are less than pleasing.

How well do fantom .21s hold up?
I've seen one run at my local, it was fast enough to ask what it was but not fast enough to go out and buy one. It didn't apear to have lots of bottom end but it had a fair bit of top end, (i didn't drive it, i don't know what clutch setup he was running). I was running a 421b at the time, that is such a fun motor to drive, a ******* to tune though. Need the right clutch set up to get it high enough in the revs, but nothing beats lighting the wheels up down the straight.

I now run a v-spec, very user friendly engine, my local track is now real tight and twisty, the motor works really well for the track. I'ld recomend this engine to people who can drive but can't tune real well.

if you want lost of low end power get a p5, if you want lots of top end power get a 421b, both from nova rossi. or if money is no object go buy a jp engine.
