Any Murnan Mod, .12 or .21! Can't wait for Uriah to get a hold of the Ninja .12

And this summer's secret weapon...Kondo Custom OS TZ.

The Mega is also very fast engine and reliable but i prefer Sirio Evo 3 STI because the car it behave and hear like a 1/8 scale.

I used to run these along with Sirio STI.

My picks would be:
Novarossi Plus 12-3CT / 2630 Pipe
Max Power SL3 WC (plus 12 based)

Peter Jovanovic (3rd place at the 2006 IFMAR worlds) just won the Australian National Championship as well as TQ with the Plus 12-3 CT/ EFRA 2630 pipe, and his brother Steven finished 2nd with the same engine/pipe combo. Peter also finished 2nd in 1/8th scale with the 35Plus21! The new Novarossis are red hot!

Not in any order:

Novarossi Plus 12-3T. Good power and price combination for a stock engine. Also decent fuel economy.

Rody tuned V12. For a modified engine it isn't super powerful, but it not slow. Good reliability. Easy to tune (Plastic carb doesn't heat up as much as an aluminum carb). Decent price for a mod. Good fuel economy for a mod.

JP FX T03MT. Better power than the Rody. Good reliability. Very expensive. Good fuel economy for a mod.

All the above are Novarossi based or built. The novarossi brands simply the most reliable engines out there. While the other brands offer fast engines at very competetive pricing they simply do not have the same reliability. I wish the other brands were just as good, but they aren't.

i choose sirio because my experiences with them have been very good. I keep up with most if not all the engines at race meets, i have had no reliability issues, and runtime has not been a problem!
