I agree 110% with you James.

See that's what this is all about, your getting hundreds of opinions in one thread!

Jeremy, if I could makema suggestion it would be to do just like what you did after the 1st poll. Take the top five brands for the next poll and take 2 engines from each brand and run a poll on them. Either that or do a seperate poll listing 10 different engines do the first poll for buggy and then another poll for truggy, all depends on how detailed you want to be.


Jaz240, I have to agree with you that the results are a little surprising to me also. Speaking now strictly about the US I have a pretty good idead about what most peoples sales are like. I think this thread is a little skewed because its a global forum, so there are people on it from all over the world. This affects the stats a bit i think because if you for instance take my sales into accout, about 95% of our business is in north america so we do verry little sales outside the US right now. Some of the brands like OS and Nova are more global, brands such as Go I think are more established in Australia etc. Etc. If you forminstance look at RB they to me have pretty much disapeared here in the US over the last couple of years (a personal oppinion just based on what i see at the tracks) but they are still doing ok in the poll which I can understand because in Europe and some parts of Asia they are a strong brand. So as mentioned I think that demographics plays a role in these results.

I should add that just to be clear nothing that I'm saying is meant to be negative (about any brand) it's just an observation that i am making based on the results that I am seeing here and is not meant in any way to offend anyone. Just adding that in there:)

But the thing is even tho the brands are sorta skewed due to the popularity in the perticular country, we as well as almost all the other countries out there can buy a werks, or a go, etc. We choose not to bc we want to run what has a proven track record or what fits our budget. RB is dying bc there priced high and performance isn't any better then there rivals. I believe werks has really caused RB's slide to happen even quicker here in the states! It's hard to beat the price and performance of a werks!:nod:

:lol: sorry to say mr werks, but the GO sales in the US have gone through the roof with the release of the GX & MG range of motors & with 2 MGs qualifying for the worlds in pattaya in november these motors are now up there with the best of them. this poll is suppose to be fun, & to gauge what people like from their experience with different motors, not for the company men to use for marketing purposes as only a small percentage of us nitro nuts will find this thread anyway ;) from my experience the OS, NOVA & RB are great motors but for $ value against reliability & performance i can't go past the GO range. all brands have there lemons & newbies that give a brand negative feeback. most motors on the market today, in the right hands, can win a major event ! the growth of our hobby is testament to the quality that is avaliable out there at the moment JMO :D:lol::cool:

I say leave this poll going for awhile. I think pretty much all of the engines that were requested are in this one. Let it run and see what happens after a couple months or so, maybe even a year. Could be interesting!:nod:

Leave it....leave it......leave it.....leave it......:lol::lol::lol::D:D:D

Please lets try to keep this friendly as I'm not trying to start another pointless debate about who's stuff may or may not be better or whos stuff is selling better etc etc. because at the end of the day it frankly does not really matter.

And just to be clear what I meant by that was I was just talking in general about the poll in my earlier post and that was it. So please lets just keep things friendly so this thread does not go off on a tangent also :nod::)

lots of great feedback here...I CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT DRIVER & ENGINE WIN THE WORLDS!:nod:....

Yep me too. At that level though there are about 10 or 12 guys that can win and having seen how challenging the track is I think that it is probably going to come down to who has the least amount of problems and needs to be turn marshaled the least. So a bit of luck is going to be involved here!

thats for sure!...its gonna come down to whos car doesnt break:lol::lol:....but the track will be different from the practice...you know that right?.....

i would love to see someone with like an STS or an old Caster grenade win just so everyone shuts the hell up :D

i was just stating that im REALLY anxious to see...not meaning to prove anything....just anxious :D

I know. My post was not meant at you. Just saying "in general " we can then have facts to shove in peoples faces when they ( insert name here ) start bragging that their engine is the best. Truth is the right driver can win with any engine and/or any chassis with the right set/up, some dedication, a good strategy and some luck
