I guess I am wondering if the little extra money for the ABI tuned and the lightened head is worth it, because the Alpha Discovery's are back ordered. Thanks
I am building my NEW MBX6T I attached a couple pics.
nice paint job

these two engines are very close... I think I give the nod to the discovery, just because it's newer technology and has the new carb, but the 3 port is a great engine. One of my favorites of all time. I know I'm not much help, but it's just as hard for me to make up my mind as it is for you

If it was me buying the engine?... I would do the 3 port. I wouldn't run the 2057 either unless we were in Europe, then it might work. 2013 and 2058 are the way to go... for your truggy, use the 2013.
