EB Modded OStz .12 VS. Team Orion CRF Wasp .12
Has anyone owned both of these engines, or have any insight to help me decide if it's worth going from an EB modded tz to a Wasp. I havnt ran either one and was told that the differences should be negligable, but wanted to hear what the rest of the community had to say.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I haven't run an any EB modifed motors but the standard OS TZ is a solid motor and more than enough for any club racing. Now if you haven't bough either one I would suggest going for the Orion CRF or Sirio STI before shelling out the big bucks for a modded motor.

Wait for the full results of this weekend's Nats and take a look at Josh's lap times. If he smokes the competition, you know that the engine has the potential of beating everything currently out on the market. If that's the case, it will come down to how well you can setup your car, tune the engine and drive.

I have the Orion and it does have the power of a 5port with incredible gas milage but in my opinion its not worth spending the bucks the top motor when you already have one of the top motors.

I held the wasp in my hands today...awsome little pump. The looks alone sell me, but something tells me to stick with the EM OS.

Numbers wise, on paper, O.S. is claiming that the EB Mod 3-port generates 1.9 HP @ 36,500 RPM and the 5-port 2.1 HP @ 38,300 RPM.

I just finished break in today. Now im going to adjust the clutch and start to hammer down a bit.
Ill see if I can get some vids up when I have the car running how I want it to run.
So far the engine seems like a beast...so much compression that if the flywheel sticks...heh...get the hammer and chisel out to get it...LOL JJ, but almost true. I feel this motor with the Mk.2 Pro is gonna be a beast.
