Default Whats your favorite engine?

What engines do you have and own, are your engines an OS, a Picco, an HPI, a Traxxas?

Which one is your favorite engine?

It seems to me that I like most of them some days and some days not (the ... not always work the way I want them too)

It is all personal preference, I like my .12R SS(HPI) but i am getting a OS CV-R18 because I like how they have power and are easy to tune

I've got an Team Associated 15 in my rustler, OFNA Picco 21 in my maxx, hyper 21 8 port in my hyper 7, and a Cen 16 in my MT2...out of all the engines I've owed I like the OFNA Picco in my maxx the best...other than those engines I've had the TRX 2.5 and the Traxxas Pro 15...the pro 15 was the longest lasting out of all of them so far.

Out of an XTM 24.7, OS .21RGx, Traxxas 2.5R, HPI Nitrostar .12SS, HPI Nitrostar .15FE, TT .15 (RC-10GT), Hyper 21 8-port

The Hyper 21 and 2.47 tied for my LEAST FAVORITES due to Hyper .21 8 port tunability and the 24.7 has the WORST pull start and one way bearing ever!

The OS .21 RGX was HANDS down the best motor I have ever owned. I would recommend it to anyone. Easy to tune, very forgiving, great power, and more- followed by the 2.5 (I have had GREAT luck with it personally).

I had a little bit of trouble keeping it tuned right when I first got it, but now it runs great. No problems tuning it now.
