Post by: Gasmachine85 on April 23, 2014, 10:24:43 pm
Is there any one motor that is better then the rest? I want to make really good power but reliability is key here....

Any stock engine governed will do.   


Modify them and the all explode.....more so when ED runs them.

You have them already listed.    Cheapest is first most expensive is last. 

On the same note.   Slowest is the cheapest.   Fastest is the most expensive.

Seriously.    Go to a race.   Watch the mowers.    Have a budget in mind then talk to the racers. 

That will help you the most.

As long as it is compatable with the new style turbo encabulator, you will be fine.
