Best engine?
 

Wondering what engine to get for my buggy.Was thinking of a RB S7.Price is not an issue.

RE: Best engine?
 

Still no suggestions?

RE: Best engine?
 

thats a good engine, just dont get the RB C6.

IMO you can beat the Nova plus 4..

RE: Best engine?
 

Why not the C6? Everyone at my club recc's it

RE: Best engine?
 

Because they are a pain in the butt to tunem and they wont hold a tune for nothing. i have seen, in a bunch of occasions, people get so mad with them they lean them out, start them up, and hold wide open till it blows.

i also had one and it would run amazing and you will shut it off and when you crank it back for the next heat the tune would be off, to much tuning for me.

i loved my GRP but they are no longer a company. also have had STS, Vspec, OS RG, Jammin JPX 21, and Nova plus 4 is by far the best engine i ever ran, it wasnt mine but i tried one and ill be getting one soon.

but now that i have tried Nova ill never run anything else, im running a 150 buck nova and it pulls my jammin truggy no problem and tune and leave it.

also Alpha engines are good too, for a buggy the green head one will be the best.<br type="_moz" />

I WOULD SAY ANYTHING NOVAROSSI U CAN NOT GO WRONG WITH THAT NAME!! THEY EVEN HAVE SPORT ENGINES AT A REASONABLE PRICE.

PROMISE YOU WONT REGRET IT ! I BELIEVE IN SAME PIPE SAME ENGINE,ALSO GET ONE OF THEIR PIPES AND MANIFOLDS .ALSO BUY THEIR GLOW PLUGS THEIR JUST THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS GOOD LUCK POST SOME PICS OF THE POWERPLANT WHEN YOU GET IT. PEACE MY FRIEND</p>

RE: Best engine?
 

Bigmane 42:I wont be using there pipes or manifold.But one i have which is legal at my club But ILLEGAL For racing competitions Because its so powerful.What do you think in O.S.8's for the engine as i use them in my helis.

RE: Best engine?
 

I HONESTLY CANT SAY I ONLY USE NOVAS BEEN USING THERE ENGINES AND PIPES SINCE 98.IS THERE A PARTICULAR REASON YOU WONT USE THRE PIPE?</p>

RE: Best engine?
 

dont use nova plugs, and no OS plugs in the engine either, to hot for nova, run OD or McCoy. also on pipe the dynamite 053 or 086 will be the pipes to get for Nova, i personally love the 053. im getting almost 10 min in my buggy with the nova sport engine, the 21 BF limited runing the 053 pipe, O'donnell 99 plug but i do have an O'donnell cooling it helps alot!

RE: Best engine?
 

Im gona be running A hyper 8 or a Hong Nor X1 that i have at the min with ace Ds1015's and spektrum DX3s

RE: Best engine?
 

Well guys iv made my mind what engine i want but is the RB S7 better than the plus 4? Or any other engine that can change my mind?

RE: Best engine?
 

Jammin JPX 21 and if money is really no object, get it modified by supertib (here in these forums).:D

Or OS Worlds and have that modified as well. Just upgrade the front bearing at about a gallon and it'll be sweet.

These are my 2 choices. ;)

RE: Best engine?
 

Guy in my hobby shop is saying Alpha F850

RE: Best engine?
 

plus 4 is better than the RB S7 in every way IMO, its faster and gets more run time.

the JPX is awesome but is a freakin animal, to much for a buggy IMO, i have one BTW.

also the alpha engines are AMAZING!

but still plus 4 is the way to go IMO.

RE: Best engine?
 

I like the fact that the JPX is an animal! How much would that guy charge me for modding it? Price on the JPX is just right too.

RE: Best engine?
 

Clockwork Modified OFNA JL 21...easy to tune, stable, pre-broken in....silky smooth, extremely fast..faster then all the engines mentioned already with ease...priced killer at $250.00 ready to roll...

RE: Best engine?
 

How much would you want to mod the jammin JPX?
