looking to get a new engine and becoming a bit more competitive at my local club meets. Looking for an engine .12 size pullsart around $200.
Any ideas?

Why would you want pullstart? Bump-start are a little more efficient and powerful (due to design) than pull/rotostart.

But if you must, you could always get an SH .12 engine - in sure they have pullstart version floating around. They are cheap and not as good as the bigger names out there.
Or you could get an RB Touring Junior 9/10/11 with rotostart for less than $200. Im sure the TJ10/11 is $170 on A Main.

Another vote here for the RB Touring Series engines.

I have a T10RC in my G4RS09 and have never had an issue with it at all.

It is stable as and has not needed a adjustment more than 1-2 hours on the main needle for the last 6 months.

i would go with a sts engine at that price

if it came down to the RB concept junior 11 .12 or the sirio evo 3 which one would you guys choose?

The RB Touring Junior series are the more tame versions compared to the Touring series. Its like a de-tuned version. Here's a comparison

RB Touring Junior 11 < RB Touring 11 < RB Touring 11RC/RS
(slower) ---------------------------------------- (faster)

So the Sirio Evo 3 would be a lot faster than the Junior 11. It has an absolute BALLISTIC top end!! I've experienced it first hand and I was completely blown away by it

I would say picco jlr .12 $190 ! You can have it tuned if you want to go very fast........

thanks for the help guys

gandgedwards

actually one more thing, which would be easier to tune?

blis

Sirios can be painful to tune, I wouldnt use an SH / LRP,

RB Jr would be my choice.

gandgedwards

what would the top speed be for both of the engines?

Eh? - disagree re. Sirio

Any engine can be painful to tune when it's not at its best H.
p.s. I 'm on your side with LRP

Now the STS - awesome engine for the price and great for a newbie .

gandgedwards

this may sound like a dumb question but what do you mean by LRP and STS

Italboy

what about the new Team Orion .12 ABI Black Edition?
