I have been running the V-spec engines for the past two years. 3 weeks ago I thought I would like to try something different on my buggy. I grabbed the Dynamite red head .21 for $100. Ok, so I'm thinking this thing will be a joke. I honest to God love this little engine. The power is impressive but yet smooth unlike the V-spec. I was in total control of my buggy with less over driving and the fuel economy wasn't all that bad matched up with the Jp-4 pipe. The idle is great and the tune is a breeze.
For this money, How could I go wrong. Ok, let's say 4 gallons and she is junk. Throw it in the junk pile and get another or rebuild it for near nothing. For club racing, has our way of thinking declined us into thinking that money wins us races ?
I can get any engine I want so that issue isn't worth bringing up, but I'm starting to think that expensive isn't always the way to go.
