The Revenge and Paloma should both have a #16800 14x25.8x6 rear bearing and 7x19x6 front. I know for sure the orange Paloma uses the non-double shielded 17004 bearing instead of the fabled 17011. Probably one of the main areas where they cut costs on their budget engines but it's still not a bad bearing. I believe the Revenge uses the 17004 too.

I saw the Paloma too. Looks like a lot of engine for the money. I'm not a fast driver though so the absolute fastest engine isn't a deciding factor for me.
For those who have used these engines, if I put the Elite 5, Paloma Orange, and Revenge side by side, am I going to see noticeable differences in starting and tuning? Are these high comp engines that require new Ross after a gallon or 2? Thank you for your input.

That said - I have zero experience with the other two. It's a novarossi, so it's going to be tight regardless of which of the three you buy. I recommend sending it to RCrenew and have Lance break it in for you.

i have absolute hobbyz version with the orange head, neal should be getting it to run in for me today sometime(or next week knowing canada post). the pipe wont fit in my buggy because of the pressure nipple, but ive seen it fit an mp9 in the mp9 thread here.
internally it looks like the old n21bf with the small crank bore. im guessing they are just ways of getting rid of old parts.
as socket said you would probably be happier with the elite5, novarossi direct is also selling the paloma 7 port orange head for 129. i was going to pick up one last night but $50 to ship to canada is too much for a motor.

My Bonito has just been relegated to back up engine duties since I just acquired a Reds. My local suppliers is out of the C6TCG plugs and won't be getting anymore in, so looking at what glow plug alternatives I could use, cheers
