Default Which engine for my NTC3

Ok it's time to replace my engine on my TC3...as it's giving me some problems....so I have some choices and wondered what you guys thought was the better to go with....so here they are:

1) HPI .18 SS
2) O.S. .18 CVR
3) Sirio .18 TX

Also I am open to others that you may suggest..like the fantoms and Wasp's that people talk about........

Thanks

Look: http://www.nitroreview.com/TheDatabase/homeengines.cfm

I have experience with engines from all three brands. The fastest is gonna be the Sirio, the the O.S. will prolly be the most durable, and I've had a few HPI motors, both run well, but the 12 r xs likes to run hot(260-270).

I am looking for anything that is good. It doesn't have to be a .18...,15/.12 is fine also.

I have used the Phantom, Hpi and OS, they are good motors.
The other thing to think about is whom you have to deal with if you have to have repairs.
If you live in the states you have to deal with Trinity. I have found them to be very dishonest. They will say anything to get out of a warranty repair. So be careful. Just a thought
