Default What should I buy Re: New Motor

I had a Axe Rossi Mamba x1 which blew up. I had to mill the sleeve out of the block. I also think the block somehow got bent. Tried putting a new sleeve in it and it would not fit. I didn't want to force for fear the pressure would bend the sleeve causing more problems.

Hence, I need a new motor.

I am looking at motors below:

Nova Rossi Plus 4 (Kinda Expensive)
RB Concept 10 (Also kinda Expensive)
RB Mods motor (O.K.)
Werks B5 Hmm. I have a collar b3 and a Werks B7 (Just got the B7 to finally Idle correctly, needed a new bearing and needed to be resealed)


I still have a Rossi LSK, Rossi Black Magic. LSK still won't idle correctly (air leak after new bering installed) and the black magic needs a front bearing)

What do you folks think.

I hear good things about the Nova Ross, and the Werks.

I haven't heard anything about the RB Concept 10. Would like info on this one.

Thanks

Oh Yeah. BTW. Which one will I be able to get parts easily down the road.

Thanks again.

Default Mugen Ninja

I have a Ninja but, I need a New Pistion/sleeve for it.

This is not the JX model b ut the earlier Rossi built model.

Hard to find.

I also have a Ninja and a Werks for my Truggy.

The Werks motor just got rebuilt, and the .28 in the truggy is great.

I haven't leaned the ninja in the truggy simply because I don't need that

much power yet. Running a little fat. 210 degrees. or so.
