Default To many choices for an indecisive man!

Now that I've got my new buggy engine choices narrowed down to 3 I cant decide what the hell to buy. My final 3 are:


Novarossi P5XLT
Dynamite XPE
Werks B5


I know that this probably has been discussed before so I don't want to beat a dead horse. I've run a P5XLT with a Dynamite 086 in my Truggy for two race seasons now and I love it. When I tried it in my buggy it had too much power. The only reason I'd consider buying another one is it's quality. It has to have 3 or 4 gallons on it and still rips with plenty of compression.

All the Dynamite XPE engines I raced against this past summer were sick fast! Sweet Alpha based engine!

I've seen the Werks B5 up close and helped a buddy break it in with the 2013 pipe. It was impressive as well.

I'm so confused.....

What do you want us to do? Make a decision, and live with it. Go with the one you like the most. We can argue/debate about this for weeks (and probably will), but it all boils down to what you want to run.

You're absolutely correct! I feel bad for starting a thread like this.
I'll most likely stick with what I know best and that's Novarossi.

The P5 really it too much motor in a buggy for most people. Any reason why you wouldn't want a +4 over the P5? Same quality, better run times, and easier to drive.

I never considered the +4 but it's a possibility. I like the P5 price tag a bit more. I don't have a problem paying for quality though....

Hey these all seem to be truggy tyope motors except the xpe..

What about a
B6
Picco Boost
Radical 621t
+4
Not to make it more confusing but these are more buggy oriented engines

I'm very indecisive as well my friend.. what I have found best is to wait until you've looked at all of them.. decide to get online or go to the hobby shop and just buy it.. don't waffle, don't think just buy. So just get any of these or your choices you will not be disappointed
