Sorry for all the questions just have enough money to buy one good reliable engine at the moment..Thanks..

OS Speed II definitely imo. I run it and the motor is a beast. It can take a beating too. I can get them for a good price if you are interested too.

IMO the Speed is not worth the extra coin over the JX...Have they changed the Speed in the last year besides the Worlds edition?

The speed is a much stonger motor. I have sucked dirt into my motor and it is still wheelin. The Worlds edition also has built up sleeve and piston which make it last a little longer. Otherwise, it is still a Speed. But side by side, the speed will take the JX everytime. I have seen it everytime I race.

How good of a price.????

T-spoon · 07-02-2009, 05:01 PM

I get cost +10% on anything from a local hobby shop.a new speed would cost me $460.00.what about an eb mod ninja?? Especially if they are that close in comparison.

IMO, a JX21 is a very good engine strapped with the 2060/Ninja 2042 pipe and MBX6-80 header in a MBX6 and it will cost less than the Speed, which is still a very good engine. I'll be taking apart a Worlds Speed tonight and looking over some items to see they they change anything. If you can find one, the EB 2041 pipe with the same MBX6-80 header works great also. You should have lots of power. Add an EB Mods head button from Tony Screws and it should really fly with 30% nitro fuel.

could someone tell me what kind of oil you are suppose to use in the oil holes on the rear and front hubs? I didnt even realize there was a hole for it until i was replacing bearings the other day.

Also, does anyone actually use them??

I'm running a Ninja with Jammin Jp3 pipe and have yet to be out run by a Speed in any car.

I'll holla at u when I'm ready, hope it won't be too long.!!!

Man, I never thought I would see the day when $430 was a good price for an offroad 1/8th motor.

I guess it is slowly becoming a HP war like 1/8th on road used to be?
