When you go to a big event like mentioned before, you don't want a motor that is even questionable. The race is more important than having a motor take you out of the event.
i know lutz will give you an honest answer ! he is the team kyosho america team manager and a super nice guy .

i race pretty heavily and am a serious engine guy and personally i can race the crap out of an engine and have engines that i have ran for more than a season cause i tune to be fast but not wear my stuff out i also rebuild engines instead of treating them as throw aways
