Both RB and Sirio mills are very good engines, you really can't go wrong with either. If you aren't racing and you want mad power go with the Sirio .27...3.1 HP!!! And yes, you really will need a starter box IMO.
 
I would agree on the WS7II, and always go starter box. Pull starts and rotostarts suck. Sorry been there done that.
 
well i still dont know what clutch bell or spur gear to get, someone help me plz!!!!!
 
If your buying the Kyosho MP7.5 Kanai II, I believe that it comes with a 13t clutchbell & a center diff which is basically the spur gear you speak of. Buggies dont have a slipper spur like the MT's, but rather a Differential. You should get everything in the kit except the engine, pipe, servos & radio... It should even have an air filter for you.. Good luck...
 
I'm sure everyone will badmouth it, and say it will blow up early, but I have an OS VZB, and it has almost two gallons threw it now with now problems. Lots of power, and I've driven one in a K2 with 30% (I run 20%) and it was insane fast for me. I will say that the only other .21 power I have to compare it to are a B01 in a storm, and a Hyper 7 PBS with a 8 port which both do well, but especialy the B01 has to get deep in the thottle all the time. You deffenatly want a starter box, and I run an Ofna JP1 pipe. Good luck.
 
I have one more question. Does the kit also include the flywheel or do i have too buy one?? I am getting the sirio k3 engine if that helps? Are those sliding clutch kits any good and can you lead to a site that would fit the k3 engine?
 
the kit should come with a flywheel, like Imbroken said you should only need a mill, (I have the Kanai mill and it puts out good power like 2.5 HP and 42,000 - 44,000 RPM), servos, radio system and shock oil. I know the K3 kit came with aluminum clutch shoes, so the K2 may also and if so you may give them a try, cause you can always upgrade. I like to run stock for a while them add a bunch of upgrades, makes me feel like i got a new buggy. I use the Futaba 3PK radio with digital servos, and i think they are awsome.
 
ok one more question. i can't find the diff oil for the k2. I need 7k, 5k, and 1k, do towerhobies sell any??
 
Is there some sort of review or comparison of all of the high end .21 engines anywhere? I know which engines are good from what you see at races and what people talk about... but it seems to still be all personal preference... does anyone know of a good chart or something of where engines have been compared just at least spec wise?
 
I like the Kyosho carbon w/1.1 springs myself. The aluminums that come with kit are junk IMO. 13t Cutch bell if you on a track, cause top speed doesn't give you much catch up time.
 
how about you type the list out.... THe link doesn't work for me either.

Dude, its because you have the cookie on your computer for that shopping cart, we don't... it just comes up and says that your shopping cart is empty. Type it all out, that will work much better.
