I need to find the cheapest retailing .21 on the market. Performance specs not important. It needs to be a .21, have rear exhaust, air cooling, a carb of course and have a pilot shaft.

Yeah it's for a 'secret' engine modding project.

os rg are about 105 i dont think your going to beat that bye much

SManMTB

Already got a few of those. Thank you. They are great for modding.
Any cheaper off-brand/no-name engines out there? I think thunder Tiger has a cheap one but I'm not sure (Sorry for the off-brand/no-name label of TT )

team infinity Samurai 521 $70. In your budget ???

rc car CRAZY

you can find the B01 engine on ebay for $50 new, usually pulled from a storm rtr. Its made by SH, 3 port.

SManMTB

Sure. The cheaper the better. Do you have a link please?

This little guy is fairly cheap and its a good engine:

Remember I am going to mod this into oblivion. I'm looking for something <$70 or so (if possible) and make it run like a...... I don't know what.

Project outline:
Find cheap engine -----> make it beg for mercy until it can't take it anymore.

o i c! looks like someone wants to have some fun!

SManMTB

Interesting.



Where can I get one of those engines shipped with the SHO buggy? They can't be very expensive right?

Engrose

The engine that comes with the SHO is a Team Infinity engine.

It costs 84$ at rcmart. But you should be able to find it cheaper.

503

Everyone loves to pick at "503" BUT I have not had any engine problems including comeing back out the next day and raceing the same engine that gave me the name "503" WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Thinking here about your project...an ebay B01 is going to have a pullstart most likely, which wont be very good for a mod project unless you have a backplate that will fit it. Also I heard somewhere that the O.S. RG engine takes well to modding. My guess is that most sub $100 engines, while you can find some decent performers there...they wont be built with the high quality materials and tolerances to withstand aggessive porting/timings that mods strive for. I might be completely wrong, I dont mod engines...I dont pretend to know alot about it...but I wouldnt go with anything cheaper or lower quality than the o.s. rg.

SManMTB

I kind of came to the same conclusion. The OS is cheap and have great quality.
The other aspect of the project was to make a POS no-name .21 beat the crap out of a $400 mill. Yeah I know, just for show


Back in the day of boat racing I made it a point not using the most popular marine engine (CMB) and usually used slightly off-brand engines like MOKI and Kalistratov (K-45), and I was successful with it too.

(The K45 was the best engine I have ever owned period)



Thank you.

I think Duratrax makes a cheap .21 I saw some going on ebay for about $79.00 , I think it is the motor they put in those bazooka buggies .

Engrose

The bazooka comes with a Vertex engine. And I wouldn't recommend that one as an object for modding!

Danno

try that

Engrose

That is the Vertex engine. Much better to spend 20$ more and get an OS RG.

Danno

Oh , I agree , I have the RG , it`s fast easy to tune and has 3 gal. of 30% with very good pinch . He was talking cheap so I thought I`d throw that one out there .

Has anyone ran the LRP.28 yet? I was wondering how it ripps compared to like a mach 26, or wasp 26. How is the tuning also? Does it hold a good tune or is it like the wasp 26 where u have to keep the idle a little high so it doesnt quit on ya if u give it half throttle and let off. Im running the wasp 26 in my hotbodies truggy right now but want a little more for the track(novarossi 28 is getting me in the straights).

Thanx for the info in advance

Great suggestions.
I've got 2 or three 15 year old OPS .21 marine engines laying around. Could be something but they will need new cooling heads.
