Tower has the 1 piece pipe listed at $99, so if that $250 price is with the pipe it's not a bad deal at all!!!

The $219 is engine alone, but I think they price will be lowered once they actually get the engine in stock....but I am talking about 1-2 months AFTER.........not like in few weeks, cause they will use that few weeks to test the market for $219.00.
Overall, the Futaba store price are very good.........

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to say OS is better than Rody.All I was trying to point out was that the performance of the OS in my G4 showed it could keep pace and get past a little compared to the cars that were running the Rody.
The Rody cars were a 710 and an MTX-3. I couldn't tell you if our final drives were even close. As everyone knows gearing plays a big part in the success of a car/engine combination. Maybe if I geared down to where they run, it wouldn't have looked as impressive.
No flame war was intended, was merely explaining my experience from the first race meeting with the OS.
If you love the Rody that's fine. I can't tell you if I love OS yet as only time will tell if it keeps it's performance and lasts reliably.

What I do see are four engines and four different HP ratings.

Something intresting is the O.S. .12 TR (P)-T R-Spec that was dyno testedin the Feb 05 issue of RC Driver is discontinued (at Tower at least), I guess the TZ is replacing it.

combo package? with that inline system? since I'm about to get that engine along with a pipe seems a bargain price. hopefully!

The $219 is engine alone, but I think they price will be lowered once they actually get the engine in stock....but I am talking about 1-2 months AFTER.........not like in few weeks, cause they will use that few weeks to test the market for $219.00.

Again, I cannot confirm the combo package yet, cause Tower does not know 1/2 of thier things that they are selling. I am confident that Tower will have a 12TZ combo (mostlly 3P with pipe) listed on their site, but I can garantee it will not be $250....more like $299.
