RE: motor help
I have no experiance w/Dynamite engines,but IMO the only answer you are getting will be for the Mach's ,LRP, or PICCO probly the answer from the majority of guys here,but it all depends on who you ask [sm=50_50.gif]

RE: motor help
Dynamites are SH's - like Machs and LRP's.. I personally believe a Mach 427 is an awesome engine for truggy-racing... 10+ minutes of run-time, and good power.. - nice mix between the pros of 21s and 28s, without the con of massive fuel consumption like with the 28, or a weak bottom end like with 21's.. I do get pulled down the straights by the high end 21's, but well, those 21's cost THREE times as much as my Mach.. I'll give up 2 meters on the back straight at those prices.. 
If you're racing and on a budget, here's your list:
1.) Jammin JPX 21 from Amain for $200ish. Picco-based, one of the most powerful 21's available. Could be a PIA to tune if you're unlucky... I recently saw a Picco Evo 2 (identical to the Jammin..)on the track and was blown away.. MONSTER powerful, INSANE top end.. I told the guy how impressed I was, and he was like yeah, it's his backup engine, and it's normally a PIA to tune, and he didn't know why it was running so well that day... It was eye-bulging cool to watch though... I have a Nosram 21RR which is also identical, and it's great. Pretty easy to tune, good run time, etc.. Like it a lot.
2.) Go 21 5-port. Good reliable cheap 21 race engine. I have a Caster Grenade 21 - which is a slightly modded Go 21 5-port. Good power, cheap, easy to tune. Solid choice IMO. Lots of other happy guys out there with Casters and Go 5-ports.
3.) Mach 427. See above. Ran my last race with one. Should've run a smaller spur - pretty sure I woulda' kept up more on the straights with those expensive 21's.. I run Machs in MT, truggy, buggy, etc.. - bashing, racing, whatever... All around great engines for whatever you want to do...
4.) I hear very good things about that Dynamite 21. Might be soft on the bottom if your truggy is heavy-ish..
5.) Look up the 7-port Werks at amain. Also a good deal. It's a 7-port Sirio, and they SCREAM... LOTS an LOTS of good reviews...
After those you start going up in price...
