Two of my LHS told me they will be in by the middle of this week.Hope that is true pretty sure that i popped my pico26 in my MGT yesterday.I need a new heart transplant and the O.S is the prefect donor.

i wouldnt be too excited about that motor, i have seen some pros at my track testing them and they arent as fast as everyone seems to be expecting. They seem decently fast on botom but they really lag on the rev and te top speed. I think you could do better with something else, a novarossi motor would kill the new O.S. .30

OS is known to have a smooth powerband, from what I've read the big nova's are just animals and you can't use 1/2 the power because of that. I wouldn't hesisate to get the OS. Smooth power, long life, and ease of tune...you can't beat that!

mxboy100,everything I have been reading and hearing about this engine(from the pro's,mainly Paul Colman from Ofna who is testing this engine)says this engine is excellent.Yeah novas are awsome engines but look at the prices.

I've even read that Team Mugen will be using O.S. engines in their race buggies soon. I think O.S. is making a special version for them.. A .21 turbo/race of course... I'll try to find the article..

The videos is kinda dumb because they put music over the sound of the engine.

ITS ALIVE!!!!!!!
couldnt realy get on it.It was about 830 when I ran threw 4 tanks.ran half of a tank has plenty in it,engine was running cold (had no body)need to heat up more and due some more tunning.this O.S so far is everything that I expected it to be and more.

 

[BUDDHA]

man this nis killing me!!!!!!!!sitting here at work when my engine needs still to be broken in.there should be a law about working when you get a new toy!!!

 

[BUDDHA]

OK ripped my Mgt with the new heart of the O.S 30.still not competely broken in running it filthy rich and man WHAT AN ENGINE!!! plenty of rip ini it.the truck looses alot of traction in the dirt.when it hit second gear the truck went side ways.
I was running with a freind who had put the adam drake 30 in the revo and I pulled away from him in a straight away run.not by much tho maybe a lenght of a truck.but thats alot consedering on the differnt weights between the both trucks.
mxboy100 I dont know what you were watching at your track but this engine rips ass!!!.
O.S did their homework on this engine.
Ratzo so both engines rip and he was extremly impressed.
