What engine do you thing is best for a buggy?

[OFNA buggy basher]

I'm looking to but a engine for my hyper 7 and would like your imput. I was thinking in the 200 and below range. Does anyone run the Fantom 21? Seems like a good engine and its race legal. http://www.rushrc.com/shop/index.ph...d=5446&zenid=b8c435aa384b5501be4776c280c78555
All suggestions are welcome.

I'm going to get the Fantom fr.12 here someday, they look like sweet motors. Give it a whirl.

You can get a Nova P5 for 280.

Os Rg .21

buy it... I had one and I liked it almost as much as my Novarossi. Awesome engine and I got mine for $85 shipped brand new (great deal, not from a online store or ebay). You can get them for $110 (my old lhs sold them for that much).

another RG fan here.....the fantom is a screamer but they don't last very long.....maybe 5 gallons if you can tune it good...and it's not an easy engine to find the sweet spot on either but when you do holy crap.....I have the .27 and I use it in a truggy...I don't run it that often but it's fun when I do.....I run the RGs in my buggy...I'm on my 4th one in 6 months now......LOL....not because they all died (some did do to my error) but I run fuel like a kid suckin a milkshake

I am assuming you meant the FR21? I am looking at the FR27 Non P/S for bashing and the RBS7II for racing if I do race.

WS7 or S7.

The WS7 is the best.

Sounds like everones saying rg? Well i might just get the rg then a fantom 21 when I'm really good a tuning. There 90 at tower with the 20 news letter.

 

[OFNA buggy basher]

Also is there anyhting else you would reccomend for about 200 or under?

 

[vbgagnon]

Collari B3 is supposed to be a beast. Some say its like the OS VZ01b. This is my next engine. Bruce @rushrc has them for around $200

 

[jon2]

This is for racing or bashing? Bashing I am still leaning on the FR27. Still under 200 bucks.

 

[AC48]

I'm leaning between the B3 and the FR .21 too...both look great but the Fantom is a lil cheaper.

The Fantom .21 and larger mills have had some problems from what I have heard/read. The .12s are great though. The RG is a good mill,for that price you can get a nice pipe and header combo and STILL stay under $200. The B3's are stump pullers,nice bottom end tq. Depending on the track layout you will be running at I would do a RG with a JP-1 or JP-2.

Dont you have to get a pipe adapter or something on a rg because the hole is different from all the other pipes? The fantom 21 looks sweet for only 160.

 

[kx250ryder]

Wow, never heard that before. Someone clue me in, I have one of these engines coming friday from Tower, and I don't want it to sit all weekend waiting for extra parts.

 

[kx250ryder]

Hello, anyone? Please don't tell me the RG needs some special exhaust part like OFNA buggy basher mentioned to make it work. My LHS sucks when it comes to nitro stuff, so I need to know so I can overnight the parts (I really want to drive again this weekend).

 

[AC48]

I think it does but I'm not sure, PM olds_97 Lss he will know. And where can I get the FR .21 for $160?

 

[OFNA buggy basher]

Ill remember seing 159 but i can't find it now. Try a google search and you will find it. Ill try looking more in a couple min. Pretty sure the rg has a special exaust adapter to fit the pipes.
