My buddy just got the VG. It's got OS 2 year warranty. Paired with a good pipe im sure it will be enough power to learn on.

Ok but he didn't want to outgrow it. VG's are good on bottom but lack top end.

3.3, nuff said

rcrunr's got a good idea. I started with the vg and everyone knows how good i am at tuning. It was really easy, and with that warrenty and price its perfect. I wore mine out when the pressure line popped off and it got too hot. I sent it in to o.s. and had a brand new one back in a couple weeks. The vg will work fine outdoor but most wouldnt recommend it, if you think you need more than go with the v-spec for outdoor, by then youll know at least how to handle it for indoor. Now you have a spare engine too. Works out great.

I'm gunna have to agree with you guys on the VG. It's good on the bottom and O.K. on top. IMHO it's a very good indoor engine. That or the Novarossi 3-port is a good engine for a beginner. The VG is very easy to tune, gets pretty good gas mileage too. And you'll still have $350 for a spare engine. Heck if you don't like this engine you still have $350 to spend on an engine and you have a back-up. Just my .02

exactly what i said

Only the last part, where did you say anything about the Rossi 3-port or fuel mileage or top or bottom end?

thanks, that didnt cross my mind but makes sence. this way i can grow into the sport and learn to control my car. (instead of getting in the way) you can say crawl befor walk and walk befor you run.

I suggest it because, unlike the VSpec, it has a warranty. And its cheap. new to nitro I guess I'd reccomend an expendable engine to learn on. I blew up my TRX 2.5 in like...2.5 Gallons because I had no idea what I was doing. so Its better to blow up a 150 dollar motor instead of a 350 dollar motor. Logical I guess?

i run a novarossi p5xs and its a great engine and i have an os vg for a backup and they both are easy to tune and run great.

Mich... Thats not a fcukin buggy engine so stop. It wasnt funny the 1st time

novas are hard to tune, thats why i didint recommend it.

Maybe for a chump... But, for anyone that knows the very basics of nitro engine tunning they arent any harder to tune than ANY other motor... Your blanket comment that all novas are hard to tune is incorrect.

i tried one once at my cousins house, thdy had an ofna 7.5 buggy i think, and it was hard compared to my engine now, idk maybe it was just old.

OHHH! well, You tried ONCE... Well the all novas ARE difficult too tune. I stand corrected. Pfffffffft!
