Engine comparison - which one of the 3 is better?

[antonio76m]

Hi guys, as per title, I've to replace the engine on my Bullet MT, so found other then the stock one anther 2 engine that can fit, but specs are not the same as stock one, so was wondering if you can point out which one is better and why despite the price difference, and if you could suggest a fourth alternative

 

Stock engine:

Thanks

Force it might be the same or similar to the standard hpi one. Go engines are good tho if spares can be found. What about upping it to an 18 sized engine there should be some that will fit.

Hi there, thanks

the 3 above are all .18, HPI stock, Force and GO, 

I'm in Italy and found a web seller which imports GO engine and parts, so assuming it has all, would you suggest to get the GO? why is it better? asking as I'm a complete stranger to engine specs and performance

 

do you know if I can fit a .21? as I will have more options

If the figures are to be relied on (and manufacturers are not always entirely honest) the Go is the least powerful and the other two about on a par with each other - might even be the same engine.

My uncle had a GO engine in his car and it was useless. i haven't any experience of the other two though sorry.

The latest go engines are not very good the hpi is a force engine so either of those two should be ok

[antonio76m]

hi all, thanks for the reply, so for what you say GO engine are bad news, but what is bad with them?

cos I found a .20 for the same price that should fit .. http://www.ebay.it/itm/1-10-Tuningmotor-2-9PS-3-37ccm-SG-GO-20-fur-Car-Buggy-Monstertruck-/250905655309?pt=RC_Modellbau&var=&hash=item8011937f67

but before going for the force I'd like to understand

 

cheers

The go engines use to be good but now the cheap ones aren't they don't perform as good as they should even the sh engines are now considered better than the go engine http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251496777516

But don't want to confuse you even more your best bet is the force engine it's what the hpi engine is anyway

hi, thanks

so lets forget about the GO then, I'll stick with the Force here on MS, I maybe get also a 14 clutch bell to get more speed since I'm saving on the engine

 

Thanks
