Which .21 to race
I must admit the whole RC thing is new to me but as far as racing I have been around Kt100 karts and 2 stroke & 4 stroke Motorcycles as we aslo did the Motocross scene for years. Now where to start: I have a son who has a Hot Bodies stadium pro RR2 Buggy, he has caught on very quick driving this thing around the track- I do want him to race but was wondering for input on which power plant to run. I am sure there are close engines and most is on setup and the driver. but I need suggestions for a good strong competitive engine that will not brake the bank! Ofna has a few engines that have caught my eye along with OS and of course NovaRossi.

Look at the Ofna Force JL .21. It's the same as the RB Killer 9 that I run and it's fast. I've hit long straights with all the high dollar motors and I'm just as fast. It makes good power, good fuel economy, and is cheap. The only thing I can't speak for is how long the engine will last, it hasn't been out long enough yet.

+1 for go tech!!
b5's are great but one thing that bothers me about them is the replacement parts are hard to find (p/s/r) and when you do find them they are pretty expensive thats why I'd prefer go tech, you can get a whole set of p/s/r for less than $70 where on most engines just the con rod alone is more than that. I think its a good engine if you are new to nitro, even if you blow up the piston or the rod you will be back in business w/o breaking the bank. Whereas with any other brand it would be better off to buy a whole new engine than replacement parts to rebuild it.

The Werks B5 or the Novarossi 3 port are both quality mills. The 3 port has great bottom and decent middle, but lacks top end. The B5 rips the whole way through.

Go-tec gxr 5 port, they are nothing like the older go-tecs. I have a 7 port [gen-5] with 12 gallons on it. I replaced the rod 3 times. about every 4 gallons just cause. and put in ceramic bearings. still has great compression,parts are easy to get.On the newer gx series they eased the pinch to make them easier to break in, and they haul ass.

I run a v spec with 2060 pipe and its a very good motor if i were to do it again i would get the pro mod version I dont see it necessary to get a speed to start with but the pro mod has the ceramic bearings in it
