It's "essentially" the same engine that comes stock in the LST (mach .26) with a different carb with replaceable venturis up to 9mm

i pretty much call it a mach on steroids because it has all the upgrade the guys do to there mach. ex the carb cooler looking 7 port other stuff. but yea its like a mach with a TINY TINY TINY bit more power. i was thinking of getting one my self.

are you sure it has a 3 needle carb. Because i think the mayhem rtr (with the same engine) has a 2 needle. The high speed and the low speed. I think some people count the idle adustment sceaw as a needle but most of the time its not. I may be mistaken but just want to make sure

I have the Sportwerks 26 in my LST. I can't compare the power to the Mach however as it didn't last long enough to break in But it is a good engine and you cannot beat the price.

I have been thinking about giving the MACH 26 a little more punch, has anyone here replaced just the carb with the sportwerks? It's a cheaper alternative to a new engine, wondering what type of performance gain could be expected from this upgrade. It's 9mm versus 7.5 mm on the mach, right??

It came with my Sportwerks Mayhem RTR.. NOTHING BUT TROUBLE.. it wont run... its ok for about 3 - 5 min.. then it wont keep going...this is my 5th nitro and i have had no other problems... I have also had many people try and get it running, but they just cant keep it going either.. it wont idle, but then when it gets tuned and idles it will flare out after a big jump..
nuthin but a pain...
