Well right now I have two buggies. I only need one and am selling the Ofna Ultra MBX soon. Its used and RTR and I'm hoping to get 200-250$ from it...anyway, I want to put this money into a new engine and maybe a pipe for my X-Terminator Deluxe. I am not a racer, but I would like some good top end power, with ok torque. Mainly looking for top end becuase I have my 24.7 which has loads of bottom.

So, I was thinking a .21. I have been looking at the FR .21. I really want an engine that is fairly easy to tune. I had a Wasp .28 and did fine with that and I'm not a noob, I just like to tune it once, and oly have to do minor adjustments later...lazy is all lol. I would like it to be a standard plug, just cause I have a few plugs that are standard. Although I could do a turbo if I had to. Don't really want to go Italian, I mean I'm only bashing and I don't want to spend the $ on that. I have heard the RGs lack in power and really don't want one of those, I want something with a lot of high end. What do you guys think of the FR .21? Others I should look into? I'm trying to stay under $200 so I can possibly get a new pipe to go with it. Thanks guys!

The collari B3 is right around 200 and most racers say that the power is compareable to the OS VZ01-b, believe me those things scream!

 

[AC48]

Thanks vb, I'll look into those...collari has to be good lol

 

[vbgagnon]

Bruce has them @ rushrc. That is the mill that I plan on putting in my next buggy.

That B3 looks nice, what about http://www.rushrc.com/shop/index.ph...d=6513&zenid=1fcf9b4b87471c8f8730b1f2c0a8c283 ?

Supposedly 3.0 HP...but I doubt that. Any comments on this one? Only $170...

Or http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34062&item=5979020782&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW ? $160 for a Sirio looks good

 

[vbgagnon]

I have never heard of it, but sirio usually makes good engines.

 

[AC48]

But that ends in like an hour, too bad. Don't have that cash right now. I really like the B3, plus I can get it from Bruce, always a plus I still like that FR .21, a bit cheaper...

check the thread started by ofnabuggybasher its in general chaos about buggy engines, sombody posted something about fantom engines.

 

[AC48]

Thanks vb. Looks like either the B3 or the Fantom depending on how much I can get for my Ofna. Have any idea how the tuning is for the B3? plaidfish said the Fantom is a little tricky...

 

[vbgagnon]

With the first gen of the b3 they had carb problems, but they have since changed to composite and have gotten much better.

 

[AC48]

Ok cool, I just put up my buggy for sale, as soon as that sells I'll bet me an engine lol.

 

[OFNA buggy basher]

check the thread started by ofnabuggybasher its in *General Nitro Talk* about buggy engines, sombody posted something about fantom engines.

Just making a little correction incase he didnt find it.

Yea I got that, and I checked out your thread OBB, good info in there. The FR .21s seem like they may be hard to tune, but I guess when you get a race .21 they are all gunna be a bit tricky to tune. Anyone have others I should look at?
