The xpe is an alpha, tho dont know which one but it is for sure. I run a stock ofna jl21 in my truggy atm and its just straight perfect. when buying it for $180 it will need an os p3 plug. im at a gallon right now with mine and noticing its real power. totally impressed and will buy another as soon as i need one for sure

Axe Rossi is making some GREAT motors now days years ago they had some Problems but now the motor's Run GREAT and get Great run times and last a long time i have one that has 10-11 gallons on it and it runs GREAT. For the price these 2 motors have a lot of power and can run with any motor in the same price range.

B5 and B6 work great with the 2013 for more agressive bottom, the 2057 smooth out the bottom a lot making it less punchy, If you cant get one of those ,the thunder tiger 2035 I think is the next best pipe. B6 does get a solid 1-1.5 minutes more runtime. BUt the B5 is just an animal on the bottom. Its just what you like

You are not going to get better customer service than Ron at WERKS, just take a look at the B5 thread so you can see for your self http://www.rctech.net/forum/nitro-of...ng-engine.html.

2035 would be the next best pipe after 2013 and 2057. Great bottom and 10+ run times. I use to used 2035 now 2013.

What about the Dynamite .21 Mach 2 engine? Last I checked it was $130 or something, and it'll put out some good performance.

If I were buying a new engine in the $150 - $200 range...I would be looking at these:

Buggy
-------

Alpha Plus Z852 (Green Head)
Alpha Plus F850 (Red Head)
Werks B6

Truggy
--------

Alpha Plus S852 (Orange Head)
Werks B5


I currently run an Alpha Orange Head in my Buggy, and for me it works GREAT. I had it in my Truggy and decided to move to the Buggy class so I wanted to give this engine a try and it is a MONSTER in a Buggy. More Low End than you know what to do with and I have yet to max out the RPMS coming down the straight either. It's FAST and lighting fast out of corners.....almost too fast ;-)
