I have an SH .28 3 port in a MGT and it has tons of torque. I have a Sportwerks .26V2 which is Sh and it screams. If you want a great budget engine look at the SH 3 port, Sportwerks V2, xtm 247, Losi mach 457, and mach 26. The sportwerks is an awsome engine adn can be had for about 125. Anything you get will be way better than that 27 duratrax.
