Hi there, I would like oyu guys to help me out with what .21 engine to buy for my Cen matrix buggy. I cannot decide between the O.S vzb v-spec ( blue head ) , the RB C6 BB s7 or a Mr ninja. I want responsive powerful bottom end, realiability and resonable top end, my local track isnt that high speed. Also are the modified motors from amain hobbies etc worth it ? My mate has a .21 LRP spec 2 and i wasn't really that impresed with that engine, so i'd like something better than that. Any help or advice would be great. Preferably from peopl that have one or more of the engines mentioned above.
Cheers.
 
Well the V-spec does not seem like it would be the best choice. It is more of a top end screamer.

I dont know a ton on the Ninjas.

The RB is a REALLY nice mill. I personally have not owned one, but from what I have read from other racers, it seems to be about what you are looking for.

As for modded mills........You are not gaining much if ANY extra HP from them. BUT they will be smoother, and have better fuel econ. Are they woth it? It depends on you, your wallet, and how much you want/need to win.(not that they automaticly make you a winner)
 
it's really the driver if your track isn't really high speed...I used to run RG mills only because they were just too easy to tune and I could hang with EVERY high end mill on the track.....after my track layout got changed that mill didn't cut it and I needed more top......now after running a few OS, traxx-ass, Thunder tiger, Fantoms, RB, Sirio, Rossi and Top I'd have to say the Rossi mill I've had for the last 22 gallons and no pinch or rebuild with damn good compression has sold me on their quality for life.....I take excellent care of my toys, so your results may vary...LOL
 
Get either a stock or modded Nova BF from Amain. They are tough to beat for $179 and $229 respectively. I have a modded Ninja, it's stupid fast, the stock ninja is pretty crazy too, either blow away my stock and modded v-spec. I really miss my Nova P5.
 
Yeah, the P5 would have been my choice for him.

Pipe choice is paramount to getting a mill to perform as well. After you figure out what mill you want, you will need to research what pipe works well with it. Not all pipes work the best with all mills, so its hard to say whats "best".
 
It was a P5X, it done blowed up mate (in the famous words of Mr David Hobbs, F1 commentator on Speed). I just couldn't justiy buying a new p/s and rod with 4 other mills sitting around. Though I think it's time now to do so

I've owned 2 c6 bbts and I'm about to get another they are awesome with strong low end and extremely insane top end. its a great pick , really any rb motor is i've never been dissappointed with ant rb motor.:first_place:
 
GRP .21 is the best engine on the market. Out of the box it outruns them all, they tune easy, good on fuel and have buttloads of torque. They will take the holeshot everytime. You do not even have to be a good tuner to make it fly.
