Default CHEAP but GREAT jato motors "drop-ins"

Hi guys ! I know I know about the os18/os21 tm/tz engines they have for the jato BUT are there any other great motors out there that's better then this traxxas 3.3 motor ?
It doesn't have to be a big block BUT something that's WAY better then stock.
IM looking for more top end & top speed if I can.>>>

help me out guys !! Remember NO high end motors, nothing over $225.00 & only drop ins........
I'm taking off the EZ start too

It's not gonna help with top speed... Change your gearing I'f you want more top speed... Or more acceleration. Way cheaper than buying a new motor

Define "drop in".

Any small block will fit. 18TZ will bolt in, but needs a different exhaust.
