Vspec is a great engine. Most .21 engines like the Go engines, jammin .21, os v spec speed tuned, and the new GRp engines are supposed to be awsome. There are so many choices in a .21 size. It just depends on how much you want to spend. I would say the Go tech are great for teh money. If you can find a Ninja for a decent price thats an engine that would be hard to beat.

Yea definatly replace the rod ($55) instead of buying another engine ($200+) unless you want a .21 instead. I seen this engine in vids online in truggies and monster trucks, I can say its very fast and id say too much power for racing. I didnt think a race .28 would be all that bad in a truggy but I was dead wrong. You definatly have to have good throttle control for an engine like that Nova.
