HYPER-BOY Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Looking for an engine and pipe combo to put in the buggy (when I build it). Not looking at breaking the bank so have seen 2 combo's I'd like (unless you know better) Alpha A830 Dragon .21 3 port with 2090 pipe or Novarossi S21P5XLT with 2096 pipe Any ideas which one? or something else? Like I said I don't want to break the bank on this so these are to a set budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil.b Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I ran the Novarossi in my XB9, A very capable and reliable engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HYPER-BOY Posted November 23, 2014 Author Share Posted November 23, 2014 I am leaning more towards the Nova tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jizwizard Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 alpha due to spare parts cost in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo08nyb Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I run a fastrax enduro in my mbx6r I paid 130 for engine and pipe combo easy to tune, starts no problem and is plenty quick enough for club style racing. I race mine at herts nitro in Hertfordshire, there is quite a few of us running them and not heard of any problems. Mine was to get me started as first nitro I've owned and while I have no issues spending 300-400 quid on a engine I thought I'll get a budget one first to test the water and no hard feelings if it only lasts 2 gallons of fuel. So far I've put about 3 gallons thru it so far still very strong and tempted to buy another one to put in an mbx7r for summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
