what do u think is the fastes .21 engine to go in a buggy for racing
a p5x from REX is crazy fast.......
DDRC,
We all knew RC was an hobby that would drain the bank accounts.
But who knew we would need RCAA (radio control addicts anonymous) someday?
I've been watching you buggy guys and I've noticed that no one ever really passes anyone on the long straights. I'm starting to believe that a strong bottom end is more important than blazing high end speed. The engine with the punch to launch the buggy from corner to corner seems to be the one that wins the race.
For the most part, Satoch, you are right. On a track, Top end motors, and bottom end motors pretty much equal themselves out. For example, the Sirio Kanai has it's powerband higher in the RPM range, I forget what Six was running in his Kyosho. For the first half of the straight, he was pulling up on me, once we got half way, I started pulling away. In general, higher torque is better, because it "slingshots" you out of a turn, but on a BIG, FAST track, the higher speed motors pay off.
A GOOD buggy guy can match the best pipe and gearing to bring the most out of a motor, but most of us have the "higher top end, or better torque" dilemma. Which is better for what kind of track....
on a half way decent budget, a EB P5 (x) $330
on a rich persons budget, a Rody C5 $600
on a tight budget, NovaRossi 3-port econo $200
yeah those motors are great but how is a rex p5 with jp2 pipe in a gs storm.good bad or great..
the p5 is a good all around engine, good bottom and top end. best or both worlds..imo
Go to AL's and tell them Rich sent ya. teeheeehheee
should i mod my p5 if i have broke in the motor. Or it is to late.. only 1/4 gal through motor.
As far as i know eb mods only mods "new" engines... I could be wrong
Rich, too funny dude!!! Lmao!!!!!
With only a 1/4 gallon, send it too TNT Mods. Tony will set you up...
