Default RE: Buying a new Engine

Dereck..the engine he posted is an 8 port...should have more ump then a sh.28 p3......with that said..clip I do not personally know how well your buggy well take the power of that engine...if I am correct (I have been wrong before) your buggy has a plastic spur and quite possibly 2spd....if this is the case (plastic spur) you will havta have your mesh set really well to keep from stripping out the spur, even then you may run into troubles...

one thing you need to remember...your cousins hurricane xrb is made to withstand more, thats how it is designed....your buggy will not indure the punishment of power and abuse your cousin's buggy will..you may get yours to out perform in a drag race, but most likely if you throw them onto a track or track like conditions you well be eating his dust
