opinions on engines for 8ight - rocco79 - 02-02-2007
Yeah i know who they are but IMO the "Black Magic" blew. George had one. But hey just my opinion
opinions on engines for 8ight - cemeb4dk - 02-02-2007
Yeah I had a black magic, and it was black magic like Voodoo, and it was magic if you could keep it running for a tank... I did like the xanadu cooling head though. If I wouldnt of got it for free there is no way I would of bought one.
Well good luck with your OS purchase, Its just I am leary with OS none seem to last real long, yeah they have a warranty but its kinda like Hitec, they have to warranty because they know they wont last. Yeah they may warranty it but that means you will be with out for a while, and you are in a position where you dont have a back up engine. So for the xtra few $$ I would want the assurance of a reliable engine like the Werks. Plus when you ask a question on the grid, Ron from Werks is right there to answer your ??

Ron is very good with support.

I woulda said go with the werks or the RB, i dont think the VG will give you all of what you are looking for outdoor jmo
opinions on engines for 8ight - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-02-2007
Yeah, I agree with Czech, I have the RG (old version of VG) and I'm looking to getting a different one for outdoor. I like how the motor is for inside, but I don't think its going to have the top end necessary for outdoor.

Damn... Jacking a thread to show off... J/K
None of those engines (with the exception of the SW .26, which isn't "legal") can be had for the price range Tex is looking for.

I'll throw a 14T on for outdoor.....hell maybe even a 15t if the lowend is strong enough to pull it....
poor people can't be pickers and choosers
I can get a NIB VG for well under $150
opinions on engines for 8ight - UE-Maxx - 02-03-2007
And have tuning issues like ponch.lol
So your going with the VG?
opinions on engines for 8ight - thenewguy821 - 02-03-2007
Difference is, Tex can tune... He's gotten me out of a few bad tunes when I was starting out.
opinions on engines for 8ight - UE-Maxx - 02-03-2007
Same here.
opinions on engines for 8ight - motoxer4life - 02-03-2007
good choice with the o.s. i got it as my first engine and its good and easy to tune. (i suck at tuning too). I only got a gallon through it and its still fine.
opinions on engines for 8ight - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 02-03-2007
if theres something wrong with an engine at a gallon there is something serioulsy wrong with ur break in process lol
opinions on engines for 8ight - motoxer4life - 02-03-2007
ya. But kevin helped me break it in so you better teach him houtta break it in then...
opinions on engines for 8ight - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 02-03-2007
dude u gotta stop spelling sh!t like that....cmon man houtta? how much harder is it to put how to
opinions on engines for 8ight - mikeL - 02-03-2007
Tex, take a serious look at the Sportwerks .21. For your price range I think it would be a very good engine. It has more than enough power even for outside. It would be my choice for the money.
opinions on engines for 8ight - B4U - 02-03-2007
Tex, if new is what you want then the SW .21v2, The Novarossi 21BF, and the Go Tech .21 5 port are all a great choices. I own all three.
The Go Tech has the most HP and is about comparable to a V-Spec but smoother and not quite the fuel economy but still 9 minutes with a 9886 pipe or a SW HT pipe. This is according to the dyno at EB Mods. and can be viewed here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4978169/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm
More good info: http://www.ofna.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5030 Russell Jones is on both of these threads often for tech support. He's a racer and the US importer.

Thanks guys, what does the SW.21 usually run money wise? $130 or so?

When I saw those motors listed that was EXACTLY what I thought.
