All the engines listed above except rb and the st are made by the same manufacturer. They are SH based engines. One of the better budget engine builders.
xtm 456 pro is the same engine as the old lrp spec 2. Actually a pretty good basher engine.
Have had 3 lrp spec 3 and have never had any bearing issues. First I have heard of this. For the money, that is the engine I would use in a lst any day of the week.
