Well came across a deal and now I've got a Radical 621P on the way. Prolly going to be my club motor for my buggy as the ol' P5X is getting some mileage on her. I've seen a few 621T's in action and it's a nice little mill. I'm a good though, I have three times as many motors now as I do rides!
 
How may engines do ya have that aren't in a vehicle?
 
I have a Mugen MBX5T and MBX5R. I have an RB Mod MR Ninja and a Novarossi P5 that I put in the buggy depending on the race. For the truggy I have a stock V-spec, an EB Mods V-spec, and a Novarossi 528XR. The new Radical will start as a buggy mill until I see what it has, it may end up in the truggy if it's too much.
 
I got my Radial 621p Last month and have in the 8ight(no mugen jking) its a nice mil just check the needle settings when you get it. My lsn was way off so make sure of all the needle settings before starting. I guess they don't set them at the factory.

How much did you pay and where did you get it from? I run a jp-3 pipe with mine. The pinch on this motor is real tite and the OPS guy told me not to really run full throttle until 3/4 gallon is through the motor. I have also heard to replace the conrod after 1 gallon. My friend OPS which is the same conrod rip out after 1/2 gallon. He was doing high speed runs on the road(not so smart). I have about 1 gallon through mine and dissasembled the motor and had no play in the conrod so I decided not to chane it. Maybe this helps or you already knew, but I love the motor.

Long story on where I got it and how but I'll say the price was much less than new at any of the big shops that carry them on-line. And no, it's not stolen! LOL Alot of manufacturers say to replace the rod after break in or after 1 gallon, etc but I have never done that. I've replaced them when I replace the p/s and have never had an issue. I also break in differently than most too
