Can't go wrong with the VG. All 3 of those most would aggree that the OS would be easier to break in and tune. The Werks and Nova are great quality too, I just think the OS will be easier to learn with.
#3
what pipe would you run with the vg
#4
Ofna 086 or JP-2 with the nod going to the JP-2 since they are so durable.
#5
someone also suggested sportwerks v2 does this have more power than vg
#7
I HEARD YOU NEED TO HAVE THE ENGINE SEALED BEFORE YOU RUN IT
#8
go with the vg. i'm gonna buy an 1/8 buggy is a couple weeks and this is the motor im putting in with the jp-2 pipe.
i've also heard that they have air leaks but the people said once they sealed it up, it ran smooth and fast.

Another vote for the VG...Great price, good power, good reliability, great longevity (if kept tuned), and easy to keep tuned. Definitely a great engine for anyone, especially someone new to nitro...The pipe depends on the size of the track. I prefer the JP-3 unless you are on a really small, tight, track. Then go with the JP-1.
Just my opinion though...

I have both the VG and the B-3. My Vg was a pain to break in, the pinch was way to tight an then after a little over a gallon it lost compression. In my experience OS is hit or miss. I have had one that ran great and still runs great but then another one that crapped out way too soon.
The B3 has been a great motor with a slight power advantage over the VG. I ran both with a JP-2.
