Actually that is not the case at all. RB engines are made by novarossi. I would go with a plus 4 or a plus 21-5k over the ws7 any day. You get better bottom end with better fuel milage at a cheaper price. The ws7 is really not that great of an engine. Don't get me wrong it has crazy top end but lacks bottom end and runtime. Not where I would put my money.

And to all of the people who say losi's wear out in a month, seriously? Are you serious? That is total bs. The car is designed with slop for a reason. The slop in the losi helps it handle the way it does. If you can't handle a little slop maybe you should be running onroad turing cars, not offroad 1/8 buggies.
