General rule of thumb: Don't buy a used engine! very bad!

Trin/Picco: Tons of power, somewhat hard to tune, not ROAR legal for racing (.15) You also need a rear exhaust manifold.

O.S. CV-X: Excellent motor, but it's used here, so stay away. You can pick one up for about $119 w/ a pullstart at Tower. It practically tunes itself and has great power.

M-16: Never used one, but they look very good. If I had to pick one here, this would be it. (unless, you feel you're a good tuner, in that case, I'd tell you to get the Trin/Picco .15RE) They're also darn cheap brand new, too.

O'Donnell is a very good choice. If you want ball-to-the-wall speed and power, while still having an easy to tune engine, get the OS CVR. It'll cost about 190 for the P/S version, but it's well worth it! Like the Megatech, it has 1BHP, but the OS's low end is incredible, and is more durable and easy to find parts for. I love mine.

well if your like me and everything has to be maxed out.... Then get a nova mugen MT-12T its a turbo engine that puts out 1.35 hp and 37500 rpm. That speakes for itself. My losi Out and out screams with it and you can pull a wheelie on command. Learn the throttle and you can race awsome still keeping it on the ground. But when you want it, its there ,1/4 throttle you can wheelie. Number 1 engine right now.
