I wouldnt mind throwing one your way to see what you could do to it .

I was just going to mod one this week. They look great quality wise and should be a great performer stock. I will get some timing # this week, I can tell what the powerband is like then.

Hey Rex just wanted to stop by and tell you thanks.

The REX Plus-5 is a real performer, way better than expected.

I basically got 10 mins run time on an indoor clay track with a slightly fat top end.

Not completly loosened up. But man this thing is buttery smooth, but still has awesome power.

Thanks again bud..

9901 SS
Thinking about trying 9853 just to see what is does.
This engine is nothing like a P5, at least the way it feels on the track.
It has a very smooth powerband, yet is has a good amount of power.

Argus Takes TQ in Round 3 of Force Series. In Florida

I Ran a RW Mod's Moded D52. 21 With Crank Insert. In my Losi 3.0 Nitro Buggy.

And a Stock D52.21 in my Losi 3.0 Truggy. Finished 2nd in Truggy A Main and 3rd in Buggy A Main! Both Engines ran great!

Shout out to Rex at RW Mods for Giving me Great Power all weekend!

Nice.. How would you describe the stock D52 in truggy, on a scale of powerhouse to well-mannered smooth race engine?... (I'm more after the former.. Love my A52 as well...)
