iTrader: (25)
Os 25 is THE BEST in this situation, easy tune long life and far more reliable then the 28s they have out, I'm a nova fan n I remember there 28 left me saying it sucked, os 28 I couldnt keep my drivetrain together but it was amazing on track but it went back in it's box after it ate up a diff 3rd day out, thats just 28s tho, the 25 hit the spot, good run times good power and easy tune so it has my vote. Now I gotta get rid of my 28+rebuild kit 
I waist to much money.

Great info, thanks guys, I have learned allot I appreciate every input
. So is it safe to assume the dealer that was trying to sell me a .28 for racing wasnt guving me all the info
? A good .25 or something like a OS Ninja will suffice it seems. Considering the plan is to race and not bash.

I have AB modded OS.25 on my MBX6T and it is outstanding. I had ran .21's in the Truggy but when I was given a chance to run other Japan racers OS .25 setup and I decided with the OS 25. The torque is better and the straights were just as good as compaired to the .21's. I have measured up against other Buggy with 21's with identical speed down the straights. I wish my driving skill was up to par with them but it is not the case so the .25 is helping. Practice, practice, practice for me. The fuel economy is better with .21's but not too far off.
These are races of two Amreicans racing in Japan. We have gone to Adam because of the proven performance, price, turnaround time, support, knowleadge. I have had numerous mods from others but he is a standout and not conceited. He is very humble and honest.

I'll put my vote in on a OS 25....
here is my 25 having some fun...had to run Badland tires to get some traction..The engine is really fast and gets excellent mileage..
edit.. I should add tho that this engine makes quite a bit of power..with normal race tires it struggles for traction..even on somewhat of a poor tune the engine just lights up regular race tires...

Maybe on the loose tracks your used to...but over here the surface can get quite sticky and many .21's will labor out of the corners in a Truggy......IMO the .28's didn't have the RPM i liked, but this new .25 is a really good blend of power and RPM..... Gotta remember not all track surfaces are the same, an engine that feels like a total Animal on a Motorama type surface can feel like a big ole slug on a high bite sticky track.......If you race on loose surfaces you can use a really soft engine, but if you race on the sticky stuff you need an engine with some balls....Its amazing really how different certain engines can feel going from a loose surface to a sticky surface........

I'm also not the type of driver that is power hungry. I don't like to pull on it a lot. But honestly I've never needed more power than I get with .21's. That's pretty much the general opinion among truggy racers.
