TROYBUILT

I just purchased a losi B 2.0 and cannot decide which engine I want, so I thought you guys could help. I have been running a little max power 3 port and now thinks it time to step it up. This is what I have been thinking.

Novarossi plus 4

Mugen Ninja

O.S. VZB vspec

Tell me what you think also would be a good pipe combination. Thanx.

Man you cant go wrong with any of them. Flip a coin. As for pipes,
Vspec/ 2050 or 2060
Ninja/2042 w-L header
Nova plus 4/ 9901 or 9853 and a 41021 header.

My personal choices would fall like this.

1. Nova
2. Ninja
3. OS

However like the above poster you really can't go wrong.

all are great engines. I run the ninja jx. Very easy to tune never flames and great power

I woulda suggested it but he had 3 engines in mind. Didnt want to trash his thread with other engine rhetoric. For that matter you can throw in the picco. However I think he has listed 3 engines that are quite easy to work with. GOOD CHOICES!!!

All engines are great. The ninja 2042 pipe is the same as the os 2060. I would go with

1 ninja
2 nova
3 os (unless you want to drop the coin on a speed then that would be my #1 pick)

For reliability and power I love my JAMMIN .21!!!! 1.5 gallons and it still gets stuck when it's cold.

Novarossi plus4 hands down

Ninja
v-spec
nova

in that order. I have had great success with the os based engines over the past year or so. I used to be a die hard nova fan, but thier preformance and reliability has let me down recently. The Ninja is a very solid engine with a smooth powerband and awesome fuel economy. The v-spec is an awesome engine, and I have yet to experience the longevety issues that everyone claims. 9 gallons down the road and my v-spec is running strong. Bearings and rod were replaced at around the 5 gallon mark, nothing else. The new nova engines look very good, but thier extensive break-in period and high price tag turn me away.

os speed ( not on list)
nova plus 4
ninja jx
os v spec

In that order, i love my speed that why i put it on the list and other owners would agree, if your looking for a high end race mill. I race with a guy that runs the nova plus 4 with a 41021 header and 9901 pipe, he used to run a os speed with a 2060 pipe header combo and says its very similar power, and millage. although one thing that i dont understand is. Why is there no ceramic rear bearing in the nova?? its there flagship motor. in my oppinion the os/jx carbs are some of the best on the market. No much experience with the ninja looks like something in between a standard v spec and a os speed. spend the extra $$$ get the os speed that includes ceramics bearings, and a world class reputation.

Plus 4 or the ninja jx .21


I am going with the jx .21 as soon as it's off backorder. The nova would be my second choice but if i wanted to spend more i would get that O.S. vspec pro modified which is like a poor mans o.s. speed.

never used ninja but would have the plus 4 over the os vspec
