Silver head GRP .21 at overdriverc.com for $200. The last of GRP breed, at least for a while.

Amain has a bunch of the Reedy's in stock right now. Run The Associated or Thunder Tiger EFRA 2035 pipe or an 053 with it. 053 will give you a touch more top end....

Nova Plus 4 - I am running the dynamite 053 pipe, has very solid mid range and does not feel as if it compromises the low end grunt this motor has. That gives me consistent 10 + minute tanks, got 13:30 out of it in practice

Good luck

The Reedy 121VR is on top of my wishlist now! Saw one running a couple of weeks ago, and the speed and punch out of the corners were impressive!

I have one of the Reedys in mky Truggy, i've seen a motor that idles as well as this does. Great bottom end punch, super smooth powerband. Keeps up or passes anything i've raced against, including and OS 28 powered Losi 2.0 truggy

At the $300 mark, the JP Racing JP21B3B is very good. Use a short or medium header with 9853 pipe and OD 99 plug. This motor will start waking up on the top end at 1-1.5 gallons.
