Best engine for IGT? - Chitown R/C - Chicago's Largest RC Car and Truck Community

Well, I'm picking up a used IGT roller. What would you guys suggest as a good engine for a good price? I want something that really has really good top end. I was thinking about the ws7III but that is rather pricey. I have a line on an STS D21T with pipe both NIB for 100 but have heard they are a little spotty on quality. Aslo thinking about the axial 28RR. I dunno, too many choices. Would rather get new but would pick up used from a local if the deal was right. Any suggestions?

Also, where's the best place to order parts and hop ups?

throw a C6 T7 in there or a Nova 528 if u want a lot of power, the new os 28 is hella fast too

Matt, I had a chance to see a SH .28 Pro in my IGT over september fest, it was off the hook. WAY too much motor, even with GRP med. compound tires. Engine runs about $130 from RCmart.com rcMart.com by Dinball - Your RC SuperStore :: SH Engines (#PT2803ACP6) 28 Pro Rear Exhaust Engine

If you are looking for something slightly more controllable but still cheap I recommend a Hyper .21 Pro for about $135. Its not just a "pro" tag, the piston, sleeve, conrod, and crank are all different. Much better performance over a standard 8port. Though not quite up to a Vspec, P5x, or any other on-road built .21.

VERY Fast acceleration. An easy 50mph in the 110ft straight we had. Brake upgrade is a must though, I was overheating the stock disc within 1 or 2 hard stops and it would take at least 15 minutes to cool it off. Buy a fibre disc or go to a dual vented metal disk.

I'm actually starting to think I may go with a go tech. Have read nothing bad about them and the price is pretty good too. Anyboby know a good place to get one?
