Don't go with a Kyosho and get the rossi. When buying engines you get what you pay for. Buy cheap and get cheap. If you want power then go with an exotic.

I am all for the exotic engines, ('Rossi, etc.) but if you want major bang for your buck, buy a trx pro .15 and modify it. I know you are thinking "traxxas, no way those are cheap" but if you have a steady hand with a dremel and know how to dissasemble and reassemble r.c engines, you can hang with a rossi with a simple trx .15 you have to port and polish the sleeve (from the outside) The Carb, and various other ports. I will put a link for some directions up soon. TRX

RE: engines
Hey i have a GX12 it has about 29,000 RPM it does on my truck about 40MPH. It is quite old but still has excellent compression also widely used in RC now-a-days. If you want to purchase this new it is £114.99 (ripoff) i'd rather get one off ebay or local hobby shop for about £60 as it is not worth £114.99. But it is damn good and very fast. Also i may be changing for another engine so you can buy the GX12 off me. By the way i'm not boasting to sell this to you for nothing but it is truly that damn good. Cheers
