This is by far my favorite engine to ever come from CRE and I have had 5 different ones over the last 2 years. It has incredible bottom end that does need some taming in a buggy, with a smooth steady mid range and a top end that will pull until you run out of track. I went up 1 tooth on my clutch bell for more tractable power. Very easy to tune, very stable idle and this engine gives you everything you need and then some. For a buggy it does need to have a tuned clutch, but once you get it right hold on to your hats! Novarossi Quality with an Alpha price range, this is the complete package guys!
I will back that 100%. I think it would still be pulling on a 300 ft. straight. I am working on the clutch setup on mine as far as the bottom goes. And yes at least 10 minutes of run time are easy even on a mediocre tune. Get it dialed in and 11 minutes is pretty easy!!!!
