Hi Ken

The Thunder Tiger is a much much higher quality motor, the fits are  always much better on the Thunder Tigers ,both Magnum and TT 36 can be good stunt engines, the Magnum is a little cheaper but suffers from terrible stock bearings, Both engines have to be converted over to CL, as they are only made in R/C form.
The Thunder Tiger will normally last longer than the Magnum, and has a bigger front bearing and the same head bolt size as an OS 46 LA instead of the tiny 2.5mm that the Magnum has.
I sell the Thunder tigers about 2 to 1  over the  Magnums, however  both of these  are  a really great buy, for what you get.

I have built hundreds of both of these engines, and if you go with the Magnum it would be a good idea to put in decent bearings at the start, you will make for a longer lasting stunt engine, and they are priced really low, so you can do that very easy and still not have much money in a very good  stunt engine, for me  this is a  much better buy for your money than a 40LA or equivilent plain bearing engine.

As a side note  Dondi garrison won 3 NATs championships, with a Thunder Tiger 36 /VECTOR 40  combo ,and put over 1200 flights on the motor before he just completely wore it our.
