im assuming you prefer a pullstart. try the sportwerks .26 v2 http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/7458

only problem i can see is the motor mounts wont allow for a pullstart or rotostart. you might want to check on that

ohhh ok yeah a pull start is what i want , its got the low engine mounts in it , do you no what mounts i need for a pull star motor ????

im not sure since i dont have a mugen but based on other buggies ive had im gonna say that you are gonna need different motor mounts. i'll let someone who owns one tell you for sure though

If you are racing the sportwerks is not a good choice. Stick to .21's which are pretty much more power than you will ever need as it is.

well he said he doesnt want to race. i agree about not racing a .26 as its to powerful to do any good, and its not legal but for bashing it would be a good motor

yeah just gunna bash it the sportswerks looks like a great motor just with shipping to australia its gunna be a bit price'y , iv been looking at the go.25 or go.28 engines they look good and very cheap . also with the engine mount i might just space it up to fit the pullstart.

The Go engines are good value for money locally, if you're just going to be bashing get one of those.
