Default just bought my first buggy

Just picked up a BN Sportwerks Turmoil Pro off my buddy. Yeah i know it's disscontinued but i got it cheap enough. So now what kinda motor should i put in this guy? Im leaning toward the Axial.28, Picco .28 or the LRP .28. cuz they are cheap enough. lol any other suggestion in the $100 to $175 range? mostly just for Bashing around and non serious track racing trying to get my skills back to what they once were.

The LRP motor is notorious for throwing wristpins around the 2 gallon mark, stay away! Maybe try a nice .21?
