Default new engine.

hey guys im looking for a new engine for my truggy that isn't so pricey. i need another motor when i just play around because i don't want to be putting gallons through my adam drake. so im looking for another motor, leaning more to a .21 motor. but something not more then 150 bucks. just need something to mess around with, even a .28 would work, just as long its cheap.

thanks for the input.

Plus get $25 off that for orders $149 and larger.

I have this OS in my Muggy and I love it. I didn't know if it would have enough power, but it really does have plently.

If you took the time to read all 8 posts, you would see that he said he did not want to spend more than 150 .

DriftProjectR, I haven't notice a single thing I don't love about the OS .21 VG. It screams. Of course it's no high end racing engine, but it still screams. For the money it's a quality engine. I plan to either get a Mugen or CEN truggy soon and I plan to put my OS .21 VG in it..... Or maybe I'll just buy another.

Frm what I hear, the STS .21's are awesome engines and you are supposed to tune them like after a gallon or so....something like that. Ask 46u, he knows all that.
