Default A little expert advice, engine choice

I just ordered an RC10GT Factory Team. As I assemble it, I will be deciding which engine to put in it. I plan on racing it, must conform to ROAR rules, so I am sticking with a .12. I am looking at:
OS .12 cv-r
Trinity picco .12 standard exhaust
Fantom .12
Orion Wasp .12
They are all in relatively the same price range, from about 119 to 160 dollars, so I need to hear from people with experinece or preferences with any of these engines. Personal opinions are welcomed, especially if your are racing any one of these engines in the RC10GT.

Default Sirio!

Those all look like good engines. Another one to look at is the Trinity Sirio SP12TRP. You can get it for $139.00 here: http://www.sheldonshobbies.com/ if you go to car/truck listings, then click on Trinity then click on Trinity Engines and scroll down. Sirios are known for a great race quality engine with High RPM's and Great Power. To find out more about the engine go to www.teamtrinity.com . I have attached a picture of the exact engine.

Hope this helps,
Kevin
