Uh, the Ninja is newest, latest, greatest and the X-12 is old. They stopped making the X a long time ago. Get the Ninja.

I've seen quite a few ninja engines with the ninja pipe and they scream. I've also seen then with a Vantage ppe and they move too. I tried a skyline pipe on mine and it was fast. Very fast.

iv ran the stock ninja with a rd logics pipe and it was fast but the ninja pipe is best.
i just got the mr15005 pipe that im going to try soon,this pipe has the fast link system and looks cool.(no springs from pipe to header)

Any Nova pipe should work, the 2630 especially..

The only place that I found online that carries a part is www.brooklynhobbies.com. The only thing is its only the conrod for $44.99. Where did you buy the engine & do they carry parts?

Have you consider the JL red dot a very good and fast engine. You will not be dissapionted with it.

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've never heard of them either. Where's the engine made, how easy is it to tune and how long will it last ?
