Default Engine replacement for Force .26

I have a Ofna LX Ultra inb which I blew up the Force .26 engine.
What do you think of the following engine as a cost-effective replacement?

If you plan to get this buggy, be informed that the steering servo is very weak.

that is the engine made for the sportwerks mayhem buggy. That one will fit for sure. The other one might not fit.

There is no reason why it shouldn't fit. And it is much better to get an engine without a pullstart.
If you want it cheaper, then the OS RG without pullstart is only about 100$. I have that one in my LX Comp and it is a great engine.

But the Picco .26 or .27 gives a lot of power if you don't need it to be racelegal.

grrr. why did i put fit?? I meant that the crankshaft might be different length, and then it wouldn't work.

Yes, I've heard a lot of good things about the RG. and if you buy it from tower now w/out pullstart, you can save 10 dollars, putting the total down to 100 dollars.

Get the OS RG---That is a good motor---It has ample punch and runs strong on the top end. How could you go wrong for 100.00.
