VERY low on the list...
I would get the Mach 2 26 or Mach 427 over it any day..
The Axial is a torquey, thirsty 28, which makes zero sense in a buggy... Ideally you want a 21 with closed backplate. I say get the Mach though cuz it's about the user-friendliest engine out there. Plus it has excellent power and they even last a long time.. IMVHO it's the best value-for-money nitro engine there is.
If you do get the Mach, I would recommend the closed backplate from Dynamite and a starterbox.
If you go for a 21 and are on a budget, I would look at the Losi 350, maybe the Dynamite 21.. Check out the engines at

The Mach 2 26, when in your cart at amain, is only $125. That is just a stupidly good price..
