all i know is that if you want an easy to tune engine, O.S. normally fits the bill.
my first engine ever was a novarossi and that was a biiiiiiig mistake. i killed that thing.
 
oky thats help in one of these engines,,,? thanks
 
My vote goes for RB. excellent mills that last twice as long as OS. Great power and once you get it tuned it is like an OS, you never touch it.
 
My votes' for the OS.. The 5 port TZ will have some serious gusto to it... The three port is enough to make a truck wheelie at half-throttle... the 5 port will be, well, insane.
 
Id go for the RB...if not then the nova.....last would be the o.s.
 
My RB X12 is awesome, my Novarossi BS21SB is awesome.... I'd probably go with Novarossi for onroad, but other people have different opinions.
 
not to be the pro-nova/italian engine party buster... but shouldnt we factor in experience?
 
do you mean that rb and nova is the best but it depend on my skills ? is this o.s very bad ? how about the same o.s by EB MODS?
 
The OS mill is a great mill and you will get very good performance out of it. The RB and Nova mills will last twice as long as the OS and will probably out perform the OS as well. Any one of those engines would be a good buy but personally i like RB. The RB and Nova mills will be a little harder to tune for the first gallon or 2 but after that will run great. RB all the way.
 
oky i got the point ,,,thanks for helping me ,,,thanks again
 
I guess it also depends on how much you're willing to spend and if you're bashing more than racing. Though I have personally never owned a RB or Novarossi mill, what I've read and heard from others is that both mills are excellent choices. I also think they are preferred by those that are more into racing than just bashing and what not. Me, I'm a basher/back-yard kind of guy, so me putting a RB or Novarossi on one of my rigs is about as useful as a tit on a bull! I like the OS mills because you get good bang for your buck, but if you're going to be racing more than anything, it wouldn't be my first suggestion.

Good luck! Let us know what you end up going with!
 
well the os is on his way now ,,,,and i got this engine couse we have very small track here (almost basketball ) may be you are right ,but also here in egypt we dont have any kind of support for maintain or upgrads ,,,we have nothing here ,,if i get rb or nova ,,,i have to spend one week to tune right,,,,if i did ,cous i red lots of form the guys said they have to take it to dyno to know the gear ratio ,,to break in ,,lot lot lotss,,,,,and in egypt you have nothing but to order from tower hobbies ( thanks for towerhobbies ),,so the os all parts is there but other i dont think so.......my story
 
You made a good choice. Let us know how it works out. Sounds like yo have it tough over there! Maybe you need to go to Uk or US once a year for R/C shopping!!!
