Probably because 16 different engines/man'fers have the word alpha in them, lol. Somebody needs to get the copyright on that word. Throw "crf" and "abi" into the mix and we are at gridlock! Not bustin' on Orions, i know they run well.

So just under 200 votes...taken into account that the poll is still new...multiplied out...there are only less than 500 people with RCTech user/ SN accounts? Im skeptical. The poll asks for your favorite engine thats it. There is no way to cheat it unless you have several SN's so I have to take it at face value. I think you may have got a bunk batch this week.....

Yea, that's something to be bitter about, but I can't really comment about it on here.

All the MAJOR race motor manufactures now produce at least one model of motor that is capable of making good power and winning races.The bigger issue now becomes which of these motors is reliable with good longevity,has ease of tuning and holds a tune.And lets not forget price point and the customer service (or lack there of) that goes along with the particular manufactures motor.

Well, I have to stick with my guns on this vote. I don't race fast enough...I mean the truck doesn't drive well enough...yeah it is never my fault. RB C6 in the truggy 7-8 minutes on a tank and probably a mild tune, can't complain. Wait, yes I can, this is the internet.
