Default Mephisto .12 ON/H or Ielasi Tuned Raptor .12evo 2020

Hi,
I hope I can do my first ENS race tits year. I want to be competetiv at the race. I know driving skills are most importent but you also need some speed.
I can get the Novarossi for a very good price, but if the Ielasi Tuned is better i will spent more money.
Best regards
Georg

If you want to purchase a great engine, quality, performance and reliability get the OS engine. .21 engine are the top noch. leave all the others

I run Ielasi as well as the Mito in my sedan and both seem pretty equal as far as performance but one of my fellow racers has been running the Mephisto and he really likes how smooth it is. OS .12 engines are quite good too but will wear out quicker. (loose pinch)
Just keep in mind that "Tuned" engines primarily make more RPM and are more temperamental to tune and can become damaged easier than most "stock" engines. You will want to buy at least 2 to stay on top of your weekend.

Go with Ielasi Tuned especially in Europe. You won’t get better support at the European races from anyone else. Daniele is now offering the Raptor which is a novarossi based as the GP9 (1/8) and GP3 (1/10) engines which are OS based.

In Europe it’s a no brainer - go with Ielasi Tuned. The engines are great and the support is industry leading.
