Thinking of a new eng need some input - 07-26-2006, 10:38 PM
Lets just say that I happened to get a new buggy/Truggy and I was thinking of putting a new eng in both what would you guys suggest?

Here are the ones that I thought of but never ran any of them

Ninja
STS
Werks B7

I know that OS and RB make some great ones as well and I've seen the Radical run and that ones a beast as well but I wanna try something different

If a friend gets you a beer from the bar, is it acceptable for the friend to stick his finger in the opening to bring back several beers to the table at once?

The STS .28 is a great motor. Ran uber fast (keeping up with $300 motor truggies until about the last 10 feet of the straight at LH) and had great torque and top end. Probably not a good indoor motor though.

Ask Satoch about the STS .21, I'm sure he'll know something about it.

You already had one of the best .21's, the WS73, that didn't make you want another one?

Also what brand RC's did you switch to?

I have had the ninja .21 and it had a really smooth power band almost a little to smooth not enough punch on bottom end. I have had three novarossi's and hands down I would say the rossi is alot better mill. (Thats just my opinion) I have also had a collari b7 but wasnt impressed by its run time still a very good motor. O.S motors are only good for about 2 gallons. So what im trying to say here is I like nova's

Mugen MBX5T Prospec
RB C6bb/O.S. Speed
Hitec 5955
Futaba s9351
Jr Z-1

Actually I think Brian had a WS72, not 3. I know a guy (John Adams) who has a WS72 that has 20+ gallons on it and it's still very fast. He races all the time and this is the 3rd solid year he has raced the very same motor with the same internals.
