The Hyper .21 8 port is an awesome engine and dont let anyone tell you differently.. I have been using them for years and just recently started running the expensive racing engines, and I wonder why sometimes...but you asked for the best $200 engine, and that is hands down a Novarossi.. for a good reliable back up that is fast as hell, easy to tune and lasts forever..try the Hyper

Once you get it shoot a PM to Mr. Twister and have him work some magic on it

+1 for the RB S3

I have one they run great, have good run time, and last a long time!
Not terribly expensive either....

I run mine with a thunder tiger 2035 pipe. Total pipe/motor combo $215

exactly what im saying i can never get the thing in the sweet spot, and as the local guys say its very odd that one of my engine stops running, unless its blown up it doesnt happen very often.

i dont doubt your go motors were good, mine not so good.

when will you have the toro nero houston?

I have a Nova BF on my buggy with a Werks 2013pipe and it has great power, I have about 5 gallons on the motor and it is still has great compression.PS and with that pipe it sounds awesome......
