Spy Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Hi all, The Ninja Turbo engine in my Mugen MX5R has gone and looking to replace it with a none too expensive .21. I don't race it any more, just bashing so it doesn't need to be competitive. Value for money and robustness are more important. Don't want a pull start engine as i have a starter box. Thx for your help Edited May 14, 2015 by Spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the recommendation. How does it compare to the Novarossi N21B09 Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Edited May 14, 2015 by Spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) Thanks Sputnik but the P5 is outside my price range here in the UK. I am looking for more of a budget engine. I have looked up the Fastrax Enduro and it seems to be highly rated but interested in how it compares to the Novarossi N21 and other budget engines.

mikelloay08 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Check alpha f850 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks but again, the F850 is more than I want to spend. Ideally I don't want to spend more than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedods Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) I forget what nova i have in my hyper but i only got it as it was a good price at the time, i hear praises of the enduro and when i need to buy new ill go that way. just for bashing though you could just get a TT .21 or an sh.21 had one in my hyper before the nova, was and is still a strong engine, sits in my engine box just incase.

Spy Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 (edited) How does the Nova P5 compare to the Fastrax, is it a much better engine for reliability ? Also, on the cheaper end, views on the X-Act .21 3 Port in comparison to the Enduro? Edited May 15, 2015 by Spy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthoop Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The Fastrax is (at least) based on the Hyper.21...with a turbo plug...the Hyper.21 is decent quality and relatively long lasting considering the price. The Nova N21B09- never had one but expect the quality and longevity to be a bit better than the above...also has 14mm crank (above 13mm). The Nova P5 is a great engine...and given the choice would be what I would go for even though it is a few extra quid. The X-act...never had one but have read good things and at that price you could buy a couple.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Posted May 15, 2015 Author Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks for all the advice guys. I was leaning towards the Nova P5 but the X-Act is so cheap, I could buy two of them for the price of the P5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
