X7 is more like a p5xlt on steroids , not even remotely like a 367/toro/bonito

yes to all the above errrrrrrr sumtin like that

there are a whole lot of engines that are just flooding the market to make a buck (which imo is the wrong reason) , i feel its a bad thing , lots of crap and some great engines

anyone who knows me knows i dont do micromotors for a living (imo thats a bad idea) and actually enjoy helping people out as long as they understand that i dont spend every hour of everyday working on micromotors . i have a very good career as a rigging foreman/babysitter


as long as the engine is manufactured by novarossi or companies that hold tolerances and Q.A. as they do i am a fan of the brand , orion is second on my list of favorites , RB next then its a crapshoot , this is my opinion and shoudn't be used when judging or picking your next engine! Werks are also great engines and as with all i have seen good engines and bad from every manufacturer , how many bad ones the company lets slip through is what turns me off to any given product

I agree IMHO we each would have to own and run the engines ourselves to make a proper evaluation of it...there are just too many ways for people to mess up dialing in a nitro to make any evaluation on the engine based off someone Else's engine...

whos engine?

a noob or not so good tuner or someone that knows how to extrapulate all the power that the engine can produce by properly tuning the clutch , carb , plug , pipe etc. etc.
