H_lls yea Rex, I'd take that engine over a discontinued GO
GX engine any day. I don't think it's right of some people
to sugest an engine that has been discoutinued and will
be out-dated, as far as parts go, to anyone. I think I'll be
adding one of the 7 port Alpha engines to my arsenal in
a couple months.

Hahaha...yup discontinued...haha.....qoute from simon.....if the market is there...there will still be plenty of parts....and you don't just throw away a machine mold.....plus all the internals of the new motor will fit in the GX case...so it will be an upgrade instead of a rebuild..at the same price......sorry

Yes the Argus have the long lsn, the Alpha's have been coming with it for almost a year now. (except the red head) I recently modded the new 7 port Alpha for a guy and that one had the long lsn but a short one in the box as a tuning option.

if your running on a track that small and are new you should get a dynamite mach 2 easiest engine on the market to tune and will be real easy to drive. It has just enough power to be fast and not enough to over power the car.

yup...just like the os vspecs...some of the great novas....all sorts of engine companies stopped making a model here and there...only to replace it with a newer model...but not to rid of the older motors...but to simply continue on and progress....

The Werks engines are Wicked and under $230 The Argus is a great engine as well for uner $200. There is no longer the need to spend A lot of money for a great performing engine.
