Wich .21 engine should I buy?
Hi guys.
Im living in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.The off-road track here is very dusty, actually over the top.
Well this is what happened: 2 weeks ago we went to the track, and unfortunately we forgot to tite the airfilter screw, after that we knew that the engine would be gone very soon.I know I know...A lot of sand came inside the engine.We lost the rod, the axle and the backplate.The compression isn't very good at all, but still the engine is giving power and we are rebuilding it with new parts.Why? The engine has only 2 gallons, it's new and we wanna keep it for practice.Why only for practice? We don't want to have another problem like the one we had during the race.I was winning the race when the engine suddenly stops, we tryed to restart it but nothing, the flywheel was locked...Like all the 4 other races we lost I was in first place managing it easily when we had a mechanical problem.Until today I only finished 1 race, and that was the one I won.
The engine we have is a SH .28, but now they wont alow buggies with .28, only .21.Wich I think is fair but I just don't like the part that we will have to buy another engine or we are out, tuff....
Now we will keep the .28 for practice and the .21 for racing.
Which .21 engine would be good for me?Give me something good but dont brake the bank

I just bought this... Haven't had it long enough to form an opinion but it seems strong. Reviews are positive and it won't break the bank. Especially since your having some much sand problems.

I believe these engines are sorted in order of popularity.

I've got a couple of questions.
How much are you willing to spend?
Does your racing class have limitations on how many ports your engine's sleeve can have??

Seems like this Novarossi is good.
But can I still get something better than that?
In the maximun 300 dollars.
Thanks for the help anyways.

Haven't had one, but lots of racers seem to like these for about $300.
