i want to bay a truggy i like Jammin X1-CRT Pro so what eng. i install in ?? i want it for racing :)
 
It really depends on what you want to spend on the total project. You have to figure servos, radio, engine, and price of the kit.

If you already have the radio/servo's then it depends on how much you want to spend on the mill,
 
i have the nomadio sensor radio and its ok about the servos but I'm thinking to much about the mill there is an open limit for this project
 
There are a whole bunch of engines you can go with that range from $100 to about $350!

The collari b3 (torque monster) and b7 better high end go for about 200 and 230

The OS VZB-Vspec insane power usually for about $250

RB ws7-3 great great engine around 275-300 and the c5bb stupid high end engine with revving through the roof 300-350

the novarossi/top/rex p5 is a great engine that has been around for a long time typically refered to as a stump puller.

These are all .21 engines there are also larger bore engines that run well as well. I would do some research on what your looking for before you drop some coin on anything.
 
If you want good all around performance and fuel economy, you can't go wrong with an OS V-spec (VZB). If you think it's not enough, get an EB Mods V-Spec. The Nova 21-5 stock or modded are great mills as is the Nova 821. I ran a Nova 528XR on my CRT and it was a bit much. A .28 with less output might be a better choice for a first endeavor into truggy racing. I know some guys also getting the OS .21VG and it's decent but think it might be a bit underpowered for a CRT due to the weight.

Ben, you hear the news about RB?
 
I'm from kuwait what i know it the sound of os is the high temp short life ?? so what about the mega eng zx21
 
Mr ninja would be a good choice too. Its loosly based on a nova engine, but has its own charastics. Very good motors as well.
 
Ace Hardware hobbies is closing. I just got a stock ninja but have not broke it in yet. I have to do that for the race in March. You know Jammin has their own line of engines that recently came out, check the powerplant section here for a link. I believe Nitrohouse has them or is getting them soon. They are Picco based. As for the OS, it's been good to me so far, I run it on my Mugen MBX5T for club racing. It did have a bearing issue, which they say is resolved but I just replaced mine last night anyway with TKO Ceramics.
 
The new vspecs have new bearings and should not have anymore problems.

And jet is correct ace hardware's stock has been bought and will be closing down fairly soon.
 
hmm so i go for ninja coz i got a good dealer for it in my contry
 
give me some time and i'll get you some info.

I'd have to say jp3, it seems to be the new favorite pipe.
