Hey guys,

Within two months (hopefully) I'll have a G4S and will be racing, but I'm having trouble deciding which .12 engine to get. I've been out of R/C for a little bit, but when I was in it, Picco and Rossi were the top names. Are they still and do they have anything within this range? I'm not new to nitro, so inexperience won't be a problem. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated, thanks!

Get the JLR and the skyline VR12 Plus from kamikaze. You can have a good user friendly motor and pipe for that $250 range. This would be the easiest and probably the most powerful for you.

Cool, I'll google it. Thanks for the suggestion!

that engine is one of the most powerful ones out there so you wont be disapointed

G4S - Good choice

If you click the .12 engines link in my signature and go to the links section, it has links to all the engine manufacturers. There are quite a number of engines you can buy in the $250 price range once you start shopping around at the retail Web sites.

The JLR .12 Red Dot is a Picco based engine being offered by OFNA.

Also the O.S. TZ .12 will fit in to this price range.

I'd definately look at the JLR Red Dot. It's only about $180 for the engine and you can get a good pipe online (like the SKyline which was suggested before) for around $50-$60.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Does the Red-Dot come with a break in guide?
