Engine comparison questions.
Hi all.
I'm taking my first steps into the big, bad world of nitro buggies, and I was pondering getting one of these three engines:
-O.S. 21RG
-Top/Novarossi T21 BF
-RB Concept CE 3
I don't think I'll be doing any or much racing, and I feel that any of the pricier engines would just be a wasted on me at this point. The OS seems to be well-known as the cheap, decent "throw-away" engine, but how do all three stack-up in terms of things like:
-break-in difficulty
-durability
-sensitivity to tuning
Also, are there any particular (problem) areas with any of these engines, like weak bearings, etc?
Any information that could shed some light on the above would be greatly appreciated.
