Engine + Pipe = $300 for Werks B5, but because I already have the pipes =$200.. So, 2 engines or one for the same price? I wasn't doggin the Nova +4, just said it was out of my price.. I've driven a few cars with the +4, and I do like the engine.. Nice smooth linear power, but I don't know that it is worth the extra $75..

The last two races i lost the competition due to my engine and clutch. Its been two years now i am running the o.s vspec but not the speed. I used to run the stock kyosho aluminium clutch setup both on my st-rr and mp9 but i had quite a few bearing failures, so i then switch to the mip buggy clutch and i was suprised how smooth and flowless is oparating but the last two races the springs loose and on the accelaration the engine was struggling. I also have one vspec that needs rebuilding so i came here to ask which is the best engine, and the best pipe for that engine and which is the most popular clutch setup. When i say best i mean first of all reliable and then fast.. Cause i dont want an engine than will run for 4-5 gallons and then i will need a rebuild. But at the same time i need the engine to be powerfull enough so that i will do the long jumps and also fast enough on the straights.
as soon as i get enough help i have 400 euros ready and if i need more next week i will have more for buying the what you guys recomend.
Btw the engine will be running either on an st-rr,xray xb808,mp9. but if its not useable foor a truggy then no problem.
Thanks.

We just switched from a Nova to a Werk's and couldn't be happier ! I like the power , can't live with the mildness of the Nova's, at least not in my conditions....

The Dynamites are making a come back powerwise but they still suck down the fuel. I was shocked at what a 2013 pipe did for the platinum .21 xp with a standard head. The thing turned into a beast. Totally exceeded my expectatiions for power. Biggest downfall is they are usually shot by 5 gallons, even with proper care.
Bottom line you cannot go wrong with the Werks B5. It's a brute, gets better fuel consumption than any other .21 and really does not need modified.

I'm not knocking anyone's opinions on engines but Houston I would take anything that RB Five has to say about our products as a grain of sand. He is the typical pissed off ex-customer that every company seems to have one of. The kind that will not listen to anyone's advice and afterward finds it necessary to talk negatively about a products every opportunity that he can possibly get. Frankly it got to the point where everybody basically had to ask him to stop posting on my thread lol
In any case as far as the OP is concerned there are a ton of good, high quality engines available at a reasonable price point today. If anything it is the best time ever to get involved in nitro racing! Are there bad engines, I think relatively few. My personal opinion be it going with one of our engines, Novarossi, RB, Alpha or which ever other brand just make sure that it is from a reputable company with support that is easily reachable in the form of either the manufacturer directly or one of their representatives like Houston or Racecrafter. Try to get a brand where some of the local drivers are also using them so that if you need some help at the track there are people there that are familiar with tuning them and will be able to help you out. Hope this helps and happy racing with your new engine which ever brand it might be!

Ron

RB B10 is the best engine. It has lots of power. It is very reliable.
