I'm looking to get a new engine for my Losi 8ight... Just race at the club level and am looking to spend $200 -$250 at the most. Currently have a jp-3 pipe but may get another if the budget allows.
I had been looking at the Werks b5, but have also looked at the Go-tech gx-3r and gx-5r as well as the trinity extech .21 and the jammin jpx.21.
Mostly looking for a long lasting engine with decent run time. Not too concerned with tons of power.
Hope you guys can help me out.
Of the motors you mentioned the Werks is the way to go, and I have run it before with a jp3 and its not bad, has a lot of rip with that pipe but great runtime.
Easier to tune than the other motors mentioned and better support as well, nice thing about the engine is if you have a question about it the werks thread is extremely active.
Can't say anything bad about Montys 3 port nova other than its limited edition so parts may be a problem but Monty is more knowlegable than anyone with the nova engines and he can answer that.
