I'm with you Jeremy! I swap back and forth between 3 engines according to many variables. I can't be bothered changing everything according to where I am racing. The two biggest factors for me are size of the track ( which directly effects run times) and whether or not it has huge short run up jumps which require lots of low end torque. Each of my 3 engines is specifically set up for the 3 tracks I race at most and all I have to do is drop in the engine according to the track I am racing and maybe swap out my shocks and sway bars and some minor tweaks. Your not alone bro!

rule #1 vote for your favorite engine brand..
rule #2 no fighting.. pick an engine and vote..
rule #3 rules subject to change...
rule #4 not all engines are on here sorry.. max of 10 choices... i took the readers "choice" for the 6 new motors added
rule #5 pick other engine not listed for yours.. again sorry 10 choices only...
remember this is only for fun.. please keep it that way... i dont know if this thread will last long but worth a shot to see what is the most popular engine you guys run... the last thread was good.. you guys where keeping it very clean and productive.. lets keep this one also....

If we have a round 3 can you list the most popular engine models instead of the engine manufacturer which produces a number of good and some bad engines. For that I nominate
Werks B5
Nova +4
Nova P5
OS Vspec
OS Speed
Go 5port
Alpha green head
Team Orion alpha
RB Killer Nine
Picco EVO 4

i made this poll
... i went back thru the first poll and these are the brands/motors guys wanted to see on the list... this is my point
there are so many good engines that we as consumers argue so much on which brand/motor is better... they all have different feel, power and so on... we should all be happy to have so many choices to run...

I do understand that this thread is supposed to be a poll, and I do not wish to undermine Mr Whitling's work in any way since I believe that this is a great thread. However, the thought crossed my mind that forum members could post their top three favourite engine brands, which may allow a wider range of engine brands to be available for all participating members to peruse/comment. Just a thought...

I thought a few of the others would have alot more hits by now.

Its good for the hobby to see some many engines getting votes. Even though we all pretty much knew that OS, Werks, and Nova would lead the way. When engine companies see that there may not be a clear favorite it will keep them competitive and keep producing quality mills at an affordable price. ( at least I hope so ) Its also nice for me to see how many votes Go has recieved. Not to start trouble but I have been hearing horror stories about them from day one and this poll has proven to me that all the negative things I have heard have to be nothing more than false rumors. I am sure nobody would have voted for any engine that was worthy in some fashion. I am actually now thinking about the possibility of trying one of the new Go engines based solely on the votes of this pole
