overpowering your buggy leads to slower laptimes

+4, X3,x5 much better suited for buggy

Anywho, call me l8r bro, after the trickin and treatin is done.

Sometimes people say things that are confusing, isn't it?

It has to do with the way the powerband is on the engine
i am not a fan of the bonito really
it is a great italian built mill but i have never been a fan of engine designs that were derived from onroad engines adapted to offroad applications no matter who puts it out
plus 2 367 / toro nero / bonito all derived from the same design , i've seen and played with all of them
i like my engines to actually have a certain feel , useable power in the right areas , like lots of low end , not a powerband that requires you to think about how you gotta drive the car to keep the powerband at a certain point in order for it to feel like you have what you need as far as power
i will tell you the honest truth no matter , i am not a salesman , making money off of racers is not my first priority then keepin the racer happy so they will buy from me only , it does not hurt my feelings when racers want to try other engines , more experience for the racers the better imo
happy motorin',

Just switched to a TKI3 at Racetoberfest and all i can say is WOW. No more trying to find a good setup that is fast and easy to drive. MBX6R is now just a dust collector.

If u want i can bring both over and u can give them a whirl and i can check out the facility.
