wow - never heard of that buggy. Is it 8th or 10th scale? Most buggies will accept most engines, as long as they match with regard to the crank shaft.

HEH, the 15 CXP isn't that bad, and you can fit any side exhaust engine in there I'm sure, try a Megatech .16 or XTM .15 or even an OS CV .12 or .15, or better yet an EPIC .18!

if u want to start racing, and that is your budget, go with nothing other than the OS MAx .12CV-R. it will set u back about 100.00 and produces more power than two of the engines u are using now. approx 1.2

nothing beats OS durability, reliability, and power. Also, if racing, then u must stick with .12 engines only, as that is the only size allowed per ROAR rules.

yes , OS Engines are about as popular as Honda's and Toyota's. You will have no trouble finding support, or parts.
