Skip the rebuild. The RB is a great selection (NOVA based). However I would get a RB S5 over the S3. Reason is the S5 is more versatile and works on more type tracks. S3 is a short track engine.

Picco is another good selection. The Picco price point is reasonable. The engines are excellent performers.

NOVA's are also quality engines as well and very reliable.

GO Tech's price point is hard to beat. There performance is good as well.

I have ran 3 of the engines you are looking at. RB, GO and Picco for me it would be the Picco. Price point is great and engines performance is excellent. You could not go wrong with either the PICCO or the RB S5 both are easy to tune, last long and run like a mad man.

NOVA's are good engines too. I just can't give you 1st hand experience on those engines.
