that sh21 looks good for the money,its ok saying for a $100 more you can have a jpx21 integra,but..maybe he dont have the extra 100. help the man out dont offer useless information that he MAYBE cant afford. for instance picco p7r motors are very expensive in england and so are out of the question now. crap exchange rates and all that

If you cant afford a 200$ motor.....i dont think Rc is the hobby for you....its expensive...plain and simple....you get what you pay for and there's nothing more to it.....a cheep motor will yield cheap results....you want something decent...you have to pay for it.....and he's lucky the JPX is as cheep as it is.....it IS one of THE most powerful motor's on the market NO 2 ways about it.

Everybody listen, INTEGRA has spoken. The one who knows it all, nuff said!


Anyways, the SH engine is not a cheap engine and marketing is the biggest thing in any sport/hobby. The SH engines are fast and very reliable. Nuff said.

Don't know if that was sarcastic, but I know one thing... INTEGRA is starting to piss me off to...

I run alotta sh engines...I like them ...I have the 2004xp .21 8 port on one of my buggies with a dynamite pipe...sounds good but still isnt broke in....I also have a couple sh.28 p3 engines that I swapped the 3 port sleeve/piston in favor of the xtm 457 6 port and they bring the sh.28 p3 to life.....I ordered that sh.21 8 port that I posted for a buggy that I am expecting to get later on this year.

I hear that saying you get what you payed for time after time...I am having good luck with my less expensive buggies and engines...having just as much fun as folks with top of the line rigs....although the hobby still may be to expensive for some, because it is an expensive hobby I dont believe you gotta break the bank to have fun...

now all those people can tell me all I have is junk....but I conceder the source

I mean yes you get what you pay for. That is the truth. But I will say that when I bought my first axial engine and put it in my TMAXX I absolutely thought it was the most terrific engine with tons of grunt for bashing and getting my tmaxx to wheelie like crazy. When i bought my first picco I learned that cheap can be good. My picco was prone to front bearing air leaks. And also my carb went bad. And every week I had another problem with that engine. I went back to axials and no problems. So I guess I just had a bad engine. But 10 problems with the same engine as opposed to my axials which were reliable to the max.
