Default To Get, Or Not To Get

Well I have a LX Comp and was thinking of racing, and I was thinking of puting this .21 in it, and was wondering if anyone has this motor and how is it?

i wouldnt expect that engine to last a really long time (because it is inexpensive) but i dont know for shure...if you are looking for a cheap .21 i say this one: http://www.rcboca.com/product.php?pr...2&cat=7&page=1 at the track the other day and i was amazed at how much torque it had for such a cheap engine...but then again that might not last that long either.

I have a LX Comp and I have an OS RG in it. This is a very good engine. But you should get one without pullstart.

Well, when you are looking for a good top speed what should you look at, the rpm,torque, or hp?

Find out whether your track has a displacement requirement of .21 for engines. If not, you can pretty much get the V-Spec performance, for less than half the price with a Sportwerks .26 engine.
