I need a new motor-- - 01-09-2006, 06:31 PM

Well I just figured out I just blew the motor in my MT.

So now I need a new one.

What are some good motors to go with .26 or higher.

I was thinking on Collari or I could just get the same sportwerk .26 I had before this blew.

Crank is shot, piston\sleeve also shot, case as well gouged up from the piece floating in there.
Not worth rebuilding when I need all that.

So I am looking for something reputable and dependable.

If its a truggy i would suggest a p5. They seem to be amazing engines and they push an LSP around a track very well. Its only a .21 but makes the same power as less expensive .26's

I've been partial to OS lately. My next motor is either going to be the .30 or .21.

well im not sure what to recommend but i do see alot of OS VZb's out there in buggies as well as truggies but idk what your budget is but i think $299 is a little overkill on a engine. i have seen a sportwerks .26 in revo2k's savage and that thing ripped. i was alomst thinking about getting the .21 bumpstart only for my buggy but then i started chewing up cb's and put it on the shelf. my views on these two engines

Don't always think bigger is better or faster, it's not. At the last Berwyn Bash a .18 beat everything there including a collari.30.....

if you want BIG and FAST go with a NovaRossi 528... the 3 port can be had around $220 and the 8 port for around $320. I would go with the bumpstart version (as they have a pullstart version also but the pullstarts kinda suck and break all the time)

Hmm it would seem alot of you are saying use a 21 verses the 26 or more??

Less HP is better??
