If you get one you will absolutely love it for a few races. You'll tell everyone you know that it is the best motor for the money on the planet. Then one day it will flameout on you and no matter what you do or how you tune it, it just wont stay running.

Want a great motor for the price? Nova BF2001, RB S3 or S5, etc. Run great and extremely durable.
Thats true, but OS also offers a 2yr warrenty. I had them rebuild mine twice. And when I say rebuild I mean bearing, sleeve, piston and rod.
