Anyone know how solid or dependable Werks engines are?

Looking at the Werks .28 vs the RB .28 as well as the STS .28. The price is $135 for STS but the other 2 come in at 3 bills. Is it really worth the difference to pay this much more?
I know not everyone here is floating stock engine :eek:

i am using the .21 7 Port ABC Offroad Competition Engine (http://werksracing.com/product.do?sku=WRXLC21B7), It flys. I like it the only thing that i don't like is the 3 stage carb on it, I can't get it to hold a tune.

How many gallons do you have it? My RB C5 is real hard to tune as well. It's why I don't use it. Still have it

out of the 3 i'd go with the RB .28,that is one awesome motor,it wheelies savy's a round with 1.5 ext plates on them.
I have the Collari .30 and the Axial .32 in my 2 savages..they are grunting engines...tons of tourque,but the RB concepts motor is a true racer engine.

Savageo28 - I just went over to VP to look for the ex tvps and he seems to be getting out almost period. Anyway I like CF but am interested in the 1.5 ext tvp's. You know where I can find a set ( light weight ) other than New Era.
By the way your info is much appreciated. That is what I am looking for.

Yep, there only based in the UK. sweet tvp's though I also run the LCG versions I think they were £50-£60. Not bad considering how much meat they have.
