Default RE: Engine Suggestion for Nitro RS4 3 EVO


ORIGINAL: joeybutts

Hi all, i was wondering if there were any engine suggestions for my nitro RS4 3 Evo. I am familiar with rc cars EXCEPT for the nitro engine compatibility and fine points. The original HPI engine seems beat up pretty well in the used car i bought and i was hoping to replace the engine this month. I would like something with quite a bit of speed, but it doens't necessarily have to be the fastest thing in the planet. I really like the Team orion products as well as the O.S. 's (cause you can't really go wrong) but i have also heard that fantom engines are quite good. So i was just looking for a little friendly suggestion of what to get, or even guidelines to follow for choosing. Thanks!
I had an Epic .18 in my RS4 3 SS and loved that engine! It made awesome torque, was very user friendly to tune, and the HPI rotostart will bolt right on to the Epic .18. I have since moved on to some better acceleration with my RS4 3 SS, heres a pic of my custom Wasp .28 big block RS4 3 SS:
