the 8mm has a bit more power and he dose not have to force the engine to make jumps like he would running a 6or7mm restrictor...

It's hard to be "more" than "all the time." He could just put a rubber band around the trigger.

OK I keep teetering back and forth on which engine to buy. I run an XRay XT8 (08 Spec) Truggy. I'm buying an Alpha engine for it.....but which one?

Only been racing 1 season thus far. I keep looking at the S852 for the bottom/mid power it makes. ...but I keep hearing all this good stuff about the Z852.

So which one would be better for a novice driver? I'll be racing at the club level 9 times out of 10, but gonna run the Psycho Nitro Blast as well this year.

There is a video of my local track on this web site. Take a peak...let me know what your opinion on engines is...

I told Jimmie I wanted the S, then I swapped to the Z....now I'm not sure anymore! haha That Orange head really does look killer though....

The Track Star site is showing an incorrect shipping amount.

All Alpha engines purchased by RCTech forum members get free shipping so just PM me or email me at [email protected]
