Who makes the best engines?
 

I was just wondering which companies make the best engines? I was looking at quite a few different brands but didn't know that you guys prefer? I was looking for a powerful motor but one that's dependable and descent priced. I was looking at a few .30 engines with a good 3.5hp, they seemed to be very powerful, dependable and well priced but I just need some more opinions. Right now I have a stock Mach .26 in my LST and it seems to be pretty powerful, I just want more power!

you left out RB Concepts, which in my opinion is the best

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

Oh yea, I new I was leaving one out. I'll change that.

You know, I LOVE my RB Concepts engine, but.. that's not what the poll is about. I believe that OS makes the best engines available. I think Sirio is a close second... Don't think I am dogging RB Concepts, I LOVE my TM323... it's AWESOME, and I wouldn't trade it for anything... but, OS and Sirio are top dogs in my book. :)

S.H. makes the Dynamite motors like the Mach .26 and the Sportwerks engines aswell. And you forgot Picco.

u cant beat OS reliability.

Top and Rex engines are made by Novarossi. They are exactly the same engines (the Novarossi CX-12 is the same as the Top CT-12 and the Rex CR-12), they even come in Novarossi packaging, and have Novarossi stamped on the carb. Only the cranckase (stamped with either "N", "Top" or "Rex") and the cooling heads (diferent colours) are different.

o.s. and novarosi. o.s. is cheaper but they dont have bigger than a .21 car engine. they are very reliable

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

i think the picco deserves to be up there too.

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

OS makes good engines but they don't make like a .26 or a .28 so it's kind of a shame.

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

I'll put picco up there so everyone can have a fair vote. I want everyone's honest opinion because a lot of the nitro stuff is still new to me so I'm not for sure on a lot of things. I'm looking for the best made and then I'll find out who the best company is that makes bigger engines.

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

If anyone has voted for other because I didn't have picco up there then just post it here. If people are voting other then I'd like to find out what other companies they are voting for. Thanks guys.

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

what about the collari? that is the one i was considering for my lst. that is what i voted for but i am in the same boat as the author of this thread, i am lookin for a new motor for my lst and just want MORE POWER!!!!! i want power, ease of tune, life longevity, reliability, and overall real badass performance. so what do u guys think of the collari? isnt it made by sirio?

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

Yea the Collari is the one that i was leaning toward, just because it's powerful, easy to tune, durable and resonably priced.

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

ok here u go

OS IS FRICKIN AWSOME

RE: Who makes the best engines?
 

Thanks guys, I'm getting some good info.

O.S. Hands down......Its just to bad they do not make anything larger then a .21 But with their V-Spec pushing over 3 HP for a .21 on 3 ports none the less.....that right there tells you what OS is capable of....I think the reason O.S. does not make anything larger then a .21 is because when you make the diameter of the piston larger within a standard size .21 crankcase, something else has to give way and be smaller.....so either the sleeve and/or the crankcase has to be thinner.....to give way for the extra space of the piston.....and with that.....you end up with shorter time in-between rebuilds of the piston and sleeve.....which turns out to be less engine life.....

The way some other companies combat this problem is the quality of the materials they use for the piston ,sleeve and crankcase.....such as RB and Rossi engines....they use top quality materials.....which also jacks the price of the engine through the roof.....
Remember what ever engine you decide to buy....you get what you pay for......
