Ofna Ravager force .28 engine replacement
I recently purchased an Ofna Ravager with a force .28 engine that promptly had a connecting rod failur after having just 6 tanks through it.I sent it back to Ofna and
they have told me three weeks before connecting rod is in stock.After seeing a couple fellows in forums having connecting rod issues with this motor I have decided
to upgrade my engine and keep the engine that is in the shop as a spare when I receive it back.I'm new to rc cars and would like anyones opinion on whether or not an Axial.32
would be a good upgrade for me.I will only be bashing the vehicle.

I only run 21 size engines in my buggy as I have to keep them sanction legal but if I where to get a bigger engine the STS 30 is the fastest most powerful .30 size engine out there. Yes the Axial is a good engine but a well tuned STS 30 will leave it behind.
