engine size
 

Hi there new to Nitro rc cars although have electric though my question is have a gt10 lightning chassis that ive been rebuilding as bought from local boot sale but need engine advice please

what size should i go with as its confusing to a newbie to nitro?

just looking for one to have fun with right now no racing or tuning don't want to pay high end for a motor when a slightly cheaper one will do the job for now till i get used to how it handles compared to my electric car

as u can see upgraded shocks from singles fitted to double and added new wheels and tires along with a 2.4ghz receiver to match my 2.4 ghz transmitter everything works fine with servos ect so need to sort engine clutch parts and engine mount next

Thanks for help and advice

It came stock with a 3.0 engine so maybe a .18 would fit nicely. You need one with a side port exhaust.

cheers for that will look into that size know i need a side exhaust engine for it then clutch assembly and a engine mount maybe adjustable if i add a bigger engine later
