The guy ended up second but i can honestly say, this little beast made engines that cost 3 times as much, eat humble piedown the straight!!!
My only concern is longevity. Are they durable, and do their carbs hold tune?

Go with the TZ 3 port. Its parts are cheaper and it has more demand everywhere, meaning if you wish to sell it, it will sell faster. Not to mention P/s for 3 port is cheaper if i aint mistaking.
You always should think 5 steps ahead of yourself.

Is it true that TZ 3 has 2 versions? When you see at the backplate, just below the up arrow theres a number engraved on it either number one(1) or two (2). I was told to get the number two (2) version because it is supposedly faster than number one(1). Can somebody confirm about this?

hey guys, im ordering my engine within like 2 hours, when my dad comes home and i have it narrowed down to 2...novarossi N12LL3 and the OS .12 TZ 3 port. I was wondering which one would be faster and whichone would live longer...I read MANY MANY good things about the LL3 powerful, lasts forever and nice. I read the TZ is very powerful but i dont think its as much as the LL3 and i hear bad things that it doesnt last too long and its still not a novarossi?
Which would you pick and why?

You really cant go wrong with any of your choices.as far as O.S. not lasting long you have been mislead. i own both motors and can say the O.S. is running very strong in my mugen and is the main motor i use .you can probably save some $ by getting the O.S. so you can buy xtra fuel and plugs!
as far as reliable they both are very good at what they do

heheh thanks for the quick reply. Yeah i was pretty sure the OS would last longer but they both seem like such awsome engines and its only $50 difference in price so i don't care about that. And i have seen both run and my local tracks and the both go rocket fast and i talked to the drivers and they both said they were awsome. Im ordering right now, will let you know which one i get.
EDIT: Well i just ordered it! I got the Novarossi N12LL3, MX-3 Synthesized and 4 ellegi pairs...a 37 shore, and 40 fronts and 42 and 45 rears. Now i just can't wait for them to come
