If you have $250 for a motor/ pipe/clutch combo then there are two motors I would consider.
for tight tracks go w/ the n21bf, a good clutch, and a good pipe for the mill.
for large tracks go w/ the sportwerks v2 .21 w/ a good clutch and pipe for the mill. Both motors are very good and could easily see action as a $200+ motor. With the right pipe you can see an improvement of 3+ minutes of run time out of a tank of fuel over the jp-4.

I have two V-specs that are both running well right now (one after putting new front and rear bearings in it) but if I were going to buy a new motor today I would either get the Reedy or the Dynamtie .21XP. I watched a guy run the Dynamite engine in his buggy and truggy and it absolutely flew. Amazing power and speed for only $180. Save some money for other stuff and get the Dynamite. Just watch the bearings and be ready to get new ones if they start to go.

All these engines are great. I looked at your car on the ebay link and it says that there was a new flywheel,clutch and springs. you should be good on that.

Go Tech 3, 5, or 7 port race and have some $ to spare and they will keep up with the best of them. Stock I say the 7 port for buggy modded any of the 3 I have a 3 and 5 port modded and cant be caught on the straight.

Good engines, good price, good power.

I bought an RC8 on Ebay and then splurged on the V-spec since that was what I was told everyone was racing. It died after less than a gallon. I wanted to cry. Really.... a good old-fashioned, I just blew $300 cry.

I bought the N21b Limited for $150 and it is awesome! I will eventually buy another V-spec because I am a glutton for punishment, but in the meantime the Nova is fast enough that I can clear everything that the other guys can, and no one leaves me in their dust down the front stretch.

My advice, if you are new to 1/8th scale like me, buy the Nova, and save the $100 for tires, clutch bearings, and a new body. You will need them soon.

Good luck!

I like my grp non-tuned version personally. Its like 190, easy to tune, and great power.

I would go w/ the go tech 5 port. It's a lot like the NR P5. I personally don't run go tech, but know a lot of ppl who do and they all seem to like them. I wouldn't run V-Spec only because they don't seem to last as long. The cheaper NR motors are a good bet too. They last forever.

v-specs go bad because people don't replace the bearings in them. You should be replacing bearings once after break in and then once every 2 gallons.
