Just keep in minds races are rarely ever won in the straights.

RB S3 $189
RB S5 $229
RB's are just good motors long breakin though takes a gallon for them to hit there stride. But when you reach that gallon mark it's like a light switch gets turned on, They tun into a beast. With proper care they last a looooong time. My personal vote is for the RB it's what I run and have been very happy. Idles good right out of the box. Holds a tune too.

GO techs 3-7 port $209 for the 7 port
GO's are good engines good bang for the buck

AD1 is a 1/10 gas truck. Those engines will not work. 200 is a fine budget for a .12

Some options under your budget
Novarossi CX12R2/N .12 $169
O.S. .12 TZ (P) T3 ($199)
OFNA Jammin .12 (very underrated but a total screamer) $89
Dynamite Platimum .12RE (very strong and also underrated) $129

I hope this helps. You would absolutely love all of these engines. (The TZ might be a bit overkill IMO but I know people like power!)
