opinions on engines for 8ight -
02-02-2007, 08:46 AM
Well, I'm shopping motors for the 8ight build and wanted to get your guys unbiased opinion on what YOU would buy.
I have $200 (+/- a few bucks) to spend... Here's what I was looking at getting... RB S72 ($210) Novarossi .21BF ($175) OS .21VG ($150) Werks B3 ($175) Any other motors in this price range I should look into? I will not spend over $220 on a motor, period. I'm leaning towards the RBs72.

Racing from a roll is like beating off, it may be fun but its not the real thing. Quote:

B7 runs about $260 though..... I was looking at the B3, it seems plenty fast from what I've seen at LHR.
It's not that I WON'T buy an enigine in the $250-$350 price range, it's just this time around I want to see if I can be just as happy and get more bang for buck. pwnzor, that motor you linked looks like something right up my ally. I might look into that more. Thanks for the link

Tex,
I think John was saying go woth the Werks not the B7, He said he had the B7 and loves it. I think he was using it as a brand example. He has had the nova bf and has a werks now. Plus you cant beat their customer service I would go with werks also.
