Engine Suggestion for 8ight-T 2.0
 
Just finished the setup on my new Truggy. Right now I have my clocked picco P3 in in but since that engine belongs to my currently out of commision savage XL I am wondering what engine I should get for the truggy when my savy is rebuilt. Havent run it with the picco yet but will tomorrow. I may race a bit so want a good competitive engine. Want all opinion reguardless of cost........

any other set up and hop up suggestions are greatley appreciated. Already have the reciever and servos set, will probably get the smart diffs soon, are they worth it? What else?

One of my modified JPX.21's would be perfect for it..... screaming, ripping monster of a .21....gets great mileage as well...

My wife and me would have some SERIOUS talk if she ever finds any of my nitro cars on the bed!!! Does she not mind? or are you single? or soon to be single?

Hi Barry, before your thread gets hijacked, why don't you have a look at the OSVZ(b) Specline, Jammin 21's, Novarossi or any other high end mill like that. You should also keep in mind what kind of track you plan on running it on as all these engines perform with different characterisitcs.

Anyone else want to chime in with their engine choice???

It is a JP4 on that engine........beleive it or not, but that is just a mild mod on that mill..... also beleive it or not but my latest 28 took it down yesterday, I was shocked !
