Default Argus USA Engines Thread

AtoZrc.net have been testing these engines with great success!!

The A52 Argus engine has a 5+2 port design. It has plenty of torque for Truggy applications but has a smooth enough torque band for Buggies.

You can check out http://www.argus-usa.net for more info.

this may be a dumb questions but are Alphas really GO based? i mean i see some similarities but the Alphas feel so different from GO. tuning and everything is pretty different. I've had great luck with Alpha but thinking of switching to GO so thats why i ask... I've driven a few GOs and have tuned a friends for him.
