Wow, a lot of vicous feelings coming out in here, kinda feels like a little group that meets Tuesday nights at the cafeteria.

Anyway... I have a TG. I love it! But I don't race on-road, I race gas truck. With that being said I previously ran a TR which was a great motor. Great powerband, very predictable, and can hang with the best of them. However, the TG does not have nearly the power that the TR had, as it was not designed to. It was designed for smooth power delivery, and fuel economy. I have no trouble making 10 minute pit stops in offroad with the TG. The TR on the other hand would run dry at 9 minutes. I would reccommend the TG to anyone racing 1/10 offroad. However, for any competent driver, the TG would be a lackluster choice for onroad. You WILL get eaten alive out of every corner and can't turn big enough gears to keep up on the straights. So please, don't bash O.S. for putting out a motor that is smoother and more efficient the the CVR.
