does it need a pull start or do you have a box?
what's your budget? I wouldn't put a real expensive mill in the Infernal sport.......
I may have something if you're willing to buy used...PM me if you're intersted...

My picks:

Budget
Short tight track: OS RG - $110.00
Wide open track: Sportwerks .26 - $130.00

For non-budget, see the recomendations above, all of which fall at or above the $250.00 mark.

For Bashing Picco 27 Awesome ! cheap and powerful, will smoke all those engines mentioned 160 US with PS
For serious racing get a CMB21RS Pro.. It will smoke anything on the market today inclufing JP's and Rody C5's .. And i know ive blown the doors off them with my CMB and will leave the Vspec looking like its plug is blown.. Im not Carrying on because i love my engine its just the truth.. CMB looking around the 420 US mark . Non PS

MGTMan,

Since you have experience with the Kyosho...can you view my thread on the Ofna shocks I am trying to install and see if you
can guide on the Screw problem I am having. Any advise would really be appreciated.

Regards,

Winged Avenger
PS: Have you raced at all of the tracks you mentioned ???
