HELP needed motor question
Hello everyone, I have never posted in the CEN portion of this forum but I am here to ask for a little help. Long story short, my buddy has a matrix arena RTR with the stock A28 motor in it. Well the pin that is attached to the crank broke, I contacted CEN and they said that they are no longer making that motor anymore. I can't even get my hands on a new crank for the motor. My question is what motor will bolt right on the matrix with no mods, one that uses a roto start is prefered. looking for a .28 motor. I know this is a general type question, I'm trying to do a little leg work for my buddy. Thanks in advance guys.

Any big block motor will work in the Arena, it's a truggy. You could try to rebuild the stock motor if you want, although I can't guarantee you'll find parts. Contact your local hobby shop for parts for the SH motor.

RE: HELP needed motor question
there are several sh .28 engines on ebay for under 100 dollars w/ pullstart if he wants to go that way . Seller is in hong kong so shipping would be slow. Axial makes a nice .28 w/ pullstart in the low 100 s. But as chrobar said any big block will fit.
