FYI:
Ofna makes the Picco.
Jammin is the racing division of Ofna (like HB to HPI) and they make the JPX.
Edit: not entirely accurate. Change "makes" to "distributes". Specifics below.

Not quite. Actually ofna makes nothing. Ofna is nothing more than the the major distributer of jammin, Hong-Nor, Hobao, and Picco. Picco makes Picco and Picco also makes the jammin engine for Jay Halsey and his jammin line. Ofna is just another Horizon except they have their name on allot of products instead of the manufacturer's name

Picco is Picco. They're an Italian engine factory that's been around for a LONG time.

I have noticed most of you are recommending the b5 over the b6 for the buggy what my understanding was the b5 was more of a powerhouse truggy engine and the b6 was supposed to get better fuel mileage and have a smoother power-band and therefor be a better buggy engine, but so far I have herd b5 all the way more fuel mileage and a better engine all around...

The B6 if you read in the B6 thread is suppose to be a Nova plus-4 but a step up, (Better mileage, power, cheaper)

What do you want? Power? millege? reliability?
You will not find a more powerful .21 engine then my clockwork modded jpx. It's crazy fast and powerful, but it is TOTALLY not necessary. I have several vspecs and ninja's and they are great engines with great runtimes. However from what i have seen personally, and i had to buy another engine it would be the werks b5. It's only 200$ and if you were to take ninja's, vspec, plus 4 four and ran them side by side you would not tell the difference. It's a great engine and my buddy is getting 13+ minutes per tank. DOn't know how long they last or how hard they are to tune though. TYe alphas are screaming too, but i know little about them except they run really well.

A little more pricey but the ninja has everything you could want in a motor long lasting, easy tune, powerful and killer mileage. But if i were you i would at least go to clockworks home page and see what might be best for you. The clocked jl is a monster and is only 250
1) If you are a relatively inexperienced driver... LESS power will make you faster. (sounds wrong but this is true.)
2) If you are a relatively inexperienced engine tuner... a less expensive engine means mistakes are cheaper. Just something to think about.
I wouldn't have a problem running any of the engines mentioned on here... none of them are "bad." Some are better than others...
