+2 on RB Killer 9, great 5 port turbo for a low price of $230. What is your price range?

stay away from the .28 they are hard on fuel. the novas or the rbs are very good motors i myself would go with any of the new novas very easy to tune and great fuel milage but try to stick with a .21 just my opinion

+2 on what Dave said about the Novas. The plus 4 has a very smooth power band. So do the RBs'. If you want something more powerful then go with the Ninja or the Toro Nero. Rbs' are really good engines and they don't take a lot to tune. My Hobby9 ran great this summer!! It was on the hot side most of the time (260-280 degrees) but it ran well!! If you want something easier to tune then get an engine that uses a standard plug.

Hello Tim,
Drag your cursor over the signup list, highlight it copy and paste in a new reply. Insert your name after you hit the reply button.

Be sure to call on Friday to see if the race is going to happen, I would hate to see you drive all the way from NY to no race.

Aaron
