2 months ago I was doing the exact same thing, I needed a new engine and I was looking at the NINJA and the CRF, they are both excellent engines, but I had to choose and I went with the ninja. Parts are'nt really an issue for me, I can either order online from HK or go down to the LHS.
I still would'nt mind getting the new Kyosho CRF, just as a backup, you know

i like the looks of the kyosho crf too. as for the parts for the ninja i just got to find a place to get part if i need them. if it last i will not really need parts just get a new 1 when it goes bad. i`m running a nova m12 not with no problems but i dont think i can get a new piston & sleeve for it when it goes bad.

The CRF's don't seem to last long!
There a totally different engine to the norm, and need to be treated as such.
I don't have one as yet, but I still want one !

Hi twan,
You can get the JL Black dot from www.kamikazetoysandhobbies.com and he is very knowledable and has quick service. If you read the thread on the JL Racing 12 thread you will find a lot of info.
Regards.

I have ran the OS TZ through many gallons of fuel and I would say that it is one of the most reliable engines that I have ever ran. I have won at least six 45 minute mains with this same engine. Performance on the other hand, it is not close to some of the newer engines out there today. I just am lucky and stay out of trouble.
