The Alpha F850 is a different animal. Power is amazing, and run time is an easy 9+. 10+ with a good tune, and pipe. Power delivery with the F850 is very smooth.

Do some research on both. There is plenty of info out there. Alpha is new to the market, so of course there are some hesitations by some, but I have been watching them, and now run one. I am personally very happy I chose the Alpha, and will be running the s852 in my truggy.

Good luck with your research.
Seems more good review of the alpha motor

Yuppi asked about just 2 types of engines !

It then turns into a slanging match about other engines mentioned, wich he wasn't asking about any way !

exactly just answers the guys question
