Default which big block engines in a buggy?


I want to upgrade to a higher performance big block engine in my inferno us sport 2. I've been looking at Nosram RS.28 Evo and the O.S. Max .30VG. I'm only using it for bashing so I don't need the precise control of a .21 I just want low end grunt and a big top end. Can anyone recommend a good big block engine that'll suit this? I want to spend between £150 ($215) and £200 ($300ish)

Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ross

A typical "Race Grade" .21 is going to have MUCH MORE POWER than one of those basher motors. So if you want maximum power, get a nice race grade .21, like an O.S. V-spec, or a Novarossi. They also run longer on the same amount of fuel. But if you want something with big numbers for bragging rights, or something easy to break in, tune and deal with, then go for the motors in your post.
