OS .12 CVR or .15 CVR

[RS4 SS Type R]

Which one is better for on road use? I'm looking for mostly speed? It will be going in a TC3

 

[xXRyCeCaKeXx]

Screw both, get the OS12 TR

Do you plan on racing it? If so check with the track or facility you will be racing at, some only allow a .12 to race.

 

[RS4 SS Type R]

wont be racing,yet, except against a couple buddies

and since my TC3 is the side exhaust kit, I dont want to spend the money yet on rear exhaust engine parts.

but when I do go to rear exhaust I will go for that mugen mt .12 or one of the trinity .12 motors

I have the specs too, I'm just looking for opinions of from people who use or have used these engines

okay, those two os engines I was looking at, not going to use, cause I am on a tight budget right now, so I only want to spend bout 115 dollars on an engine with a pullstarter. since this is for my TC3 I was thinking bout going with the AE .12 or .15 engines. Which one should I go for?

 

[NCNitro]

I would still go with an OS over an AE, the CVX .12 is still in your price range, and since it is a .12 if you do decide to race you won't have to worry if they allow .15 or not.

 

[RS4 SS Type R]

what makes the OS .12 cvx better than the AE? Just curious.

 

[Rob D]

Yes i would go with a os 12 I've bever run a ae motor but the os motors have treated me well easy to tune and great power .

Most stock motors really suck, but some dont like the Mugens. But eventually everyone wants to get rid of their stocky, thats why we all hate the stock one. If you want high revving ranges, acceleration beyond ur imagination Pick .12 if not .15 which will give you a higher top speed and they are good in the long races. It's ur decision man.
