What is that engine by RB starts with a T?
You must be talking about TechoPower (sp?). It's basically a re-made GRP.

If you are looking at something like that I would suggest TQ's 501-T. It's got a super smooth bottom end w/ a screaming top. For me, tuning these engines is much easier than O.S. The needles hardly ever have to be moved. They get awesome fuel mileage (12min easily in truggy) and you really only need one or two pipes for this motor (TQ 2053 or O.S. 2060).

This Picco is killer. They aren't available yet (state side)I don't believe. I got to see one run (ordered from overseas) and boy are they smooth and excellent run-time. it has that PICCO name so you know it will last forever

It's based on a Go Tech engine. I've heard some good things about Massive Mods.

Werks B5 modded by Neal (Supertib) at clockworks racing. Really sweet engine, and a decent price too.

I believe they do. Ive heard extraordinary things about the new Team Orion "Alpha CRF" .21 Abi motor that was released not too long ago. They must be a hit because they are either sold out or on back order any where you go. Take a look!

That seems to be the 'bee's knee's' of motors at the moment. I do believe that's the motor that Tebo used to win the ROAR nats in truggy and in buggy. I know its the driver that makes the difference, but a reliable strong lasting motor does play a part in long A main races.

If you are a tower member they have discount codes for basically 20% off up to $2500! Don't remember the price exactly but a speed was around $400 even and shipping is free!

man it is hard to be the pure power and run time you get from the speed motor price is steep but unlike the reg. vspec the speed wil last 4-ever if taken care of
if you want a good motor a little cheaper the tq 501t would be my pic they fixed the carb issues that the grp engines had and get great fuel mileage
