Good .12 motor for racing?

[mxboy100]

hey guys, i started racing my savage, but since my savage never breaks between heats like others, i get bored. I have an x-cellerator with the 18 in it, and i want to race it. Whats a good, fast, cheap .12 engine . Preferably under 150 bux.

X-cellerator

wasp .12

os CV-R .12

The OS line of engines are great.I would suggest a .12 TR over a .12 CVR.The TR has a smoother powerband.Both are under your budget and are great racing engines.

O.S. 12 CV-R i have one and love it it gets me mad speed with my xxx-nt

 

[maxxmasher8]

i second one the os .12 Tr because of what highflyin said and they hold a very good tune. i have a .21 in my maxx also.

later,

Wasp .12 Is A Monster

I just ordered a Dynamite .12 from horizon hobby yesterday and I'm getting it tomorrow or thursday...ill tell you if there any good!

 

[Got Nitro?]

Fantom Fr.12,can't go wrong.

 

[greenwing7]

i can vouche for the os line of engines I have one and it holds a great tune, its on Dflat right now j/k

 

[rctenman]

the rb c12 is good and reliable

I had the .15 cvr and it was pretty good. I thought it lacked a little speed but i guess i thought that cuz i was racing my brother's lightning with it in my xxx-nt. I still beat him tho :hammer: still... I could never pop any wheelies on demand with the stock gearing

 

[Pinblaster]

Get an OS .12 CV-R. They cost around $110.00 and has great power. I have one in my Losi XXX-NT and it pulls wheelies and gets big air on the jumps. I haven't been racing long and was almost afraid of it when I started out. It makes my RC10GT with .12 CV look sick but I guess it should since it has twice the HP. :thumbup:

PS: it also dusted my Duratrax Nitro Evader with the DTX18 engine in it.

 

[greenwing7]

yeah I put one in my buggy and it pulled wheelies too :j/k: LOL

 

[mxboy100]

So, is the O.s tr faster than the cvr? or is it just different power bands?

And what do u guyz think of maybe the sh .12 offroad

I need a .12 motor, and i just went onto towerhobbies and it showed that The os's are discontinued and the offroad wasp 12 is discontinued also????

 

[rccars411]

OS .12 TZ if it fits... Or look for a Team Infinity .12, they are suprisingly fast.

For the RC10GT guys: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJFY7&P=7

BUT, since I just realized you said "150" max... the OS .12 CV-R would be a perfect choice too!

The hyper 8 port fits the budget, but i wouldnt call that race legal... lol

 

[mxboy100]

I need a rear exhaust motor that puts out some really good torque also, becuase i am going to race my xtm x-cellerator and they have a pretty low gearing.

So, the motors i am really interested in now are:
Fantom .12, except it is a side exhaust
O.S. .12 cv-r, with a losi pipe i hear is good
Does anybody have a link to where i can get the O.S. cvr .12, and any recommendations for a pipe, i will need some more acceleration dur to the gearing problem.

Thanx guyz, appreciate the help!

 

[mxboy100]

I was looking at towerhobbies.com, and i was looking at the O.S. cvr motor, i was wondering what the difference between the cvr and the cvrx is??
I need a pullstart also, i dont want to pay 100 bux for a box.

 

[rccars411]

Ahh, the X stands for pullstart, thats the one you want. The engine hauls and kicks butt on the track. By low gearing, you mean TALL right?
