I just put an LRPZ28 Spec 3 in an old RAZE ST that i bought used as a re-intro into the hobby.

After all my research, and now being on my 4th break in tank, i believe this is going to be a fantastic engine! I do not think that you will find better for the money, but with your budget, i had seen many posts and comparisons for a Picco which is more expensive.

The LRP Z28 spec 3 has been out for a while now, and i could find virtually no real addressable complaints, and tons of happy customers. I tell you that after hearing it run through a couple of tanks and start to come around to a normal tunable condition, i almost felt bad that it was in a used old truggy! I was incredibly impressed with its early performance, i can't express how satisfied i am so far with my purchase, and i hope my satifaction will continue for a very long time with this engine.

IMHO, i believe that you just can't find a better motor withing the price range of an LRP Z28 Spec3....a home run for sure.<br type="_moz" />
