Status: offline 		OS V-Spec 21 if yer racing.....Or I would get a Sportwerks .26 V2 motor for the racer/basher that I am. It's powerful, runs like a champ, and cost only 130 bucks.

What truggy is this engine going into?

Status: offline 		Idk.. id choose a .21 for it.. like a Novarossi p5x or mr ninja, i dont think .28s belong in truggies.. but thats just MY opinion.. leave the bigger blocks for the bigger trucks

maybe a RB c6

Status: offline 		this is the engine i would get if i had a CRT:

http://www.rcbuggyshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=295

or i would definately buy this one if you have the money:

http://www.rcbuggyshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=288

but if you are on a budget, then i would get the P5X

http://www.rcbuggyshop.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=68&products_id=189

if you werent racing, then i would look into some of them toss and go motors, but if you are considering racing, then the above listed engines would be my choise of engines to select.

Personally - Im a .27 / .28 believer ... I run picco's and send them to Jim Hottinger of Fusion Hot Mods. Toss an OS Carb on there .. and away we go - bearings as needed. Engines are sub $200 NIB and then about $85 to mod. They come back getting better fuel economy and with plenty o power.

Piston sleeves and conrods are $75 a set from OFNA on their rebuild program. The the cost of another Mod if you choose to go that way.

i agree, but we are also talking about the chad bradely who doesnt have to pay for a Vspec every 4 gallons. the only Vspec i would consider is the EB modded Vspec, otherwise i would pass.

i have heard the same about them .28 sized motors, there are allot of people who prefer a .28 over a .21 for a truggy. personal preference i guess like you said.

Status: offline 		Take this in to account too, a .28 will use more fuel vs the .21 and if you plan on racing the .28 "might" have more kick put in a 20 min main, need to fuel the .28 3 times vs 2 with a .21. So much for the extra kick. Just my 2 cents.
