Engine for a Truggy?
I don't race, I mostly bash or hit the track on an open practice night. I'm looking for a basher engine around $150 to $200.
Currently the truggies got a Picco .27 in it, with a tuned pipe (don't know what pipe, its unlabled and I don't know what it is) And while its decently quick down low with great throttle response it kind of falls flat on the top end. I do have a JP2 pipe for another project on the way so I might try that on there and see if that works for me.
But some recomendations would be good.
The radical wit pipe is supossed to be a powerhouse!
Other possible canidates
Mach .26
xtm 24/7 pro
sh prospec .28 6 port
I'll have to consider it, but I wasn't planning on buying now. I just dropped $375 on the CRT, another $50 for a JP2 pipe, and about $100 on other stuff this month for other RC projects that i have yet to post about.
Perhaps next month if he still has it.
Right now i really can't afford to buy, I need to figure out whats going on as far as what I really want to upgrade. The CRT needs a few upgrades first, like the CNC Alu. Chassis braces, and the Z - brace to stiffen it up. I bent the rear center ds on a hard landing. Still plenty workable but I don't want to bend the chassis (thankfully its still flat).
i strongly suggest picking up that rad, u will never have a faster engine for the money
I don't doubt it, however right now i dropped too much money this month. I do not have enough money to do it.
If its still available next month I will contact him. But right now i'm not going to beg him to hold it till i get the money.
Czech it out was just letting you know its a quality engine and pipe... Hopefully you get all the stuff you want !
Well, its possible, I just need to slow down a bit when it comes to spending. I still have chassis upgrades to do to the CRT. It was an RTR, so it has the plastic braces which do squat cause they bend so easy. I think I'm going to order the Dace braces for now.
third gen.
I will sell it to you for 150 plus your jp2 pipe. I can get some pics for you if needed its mounted in my crt right now, but I can get some tonight for you. If your seriously interested. All you will need is a clutch bell and fuel.
Also I am getting the the new BCE chassis in. SO I will have a BCE version 1 chassis with a z brace available. I will work out an awesome deal for you.
I just bought the JP2 pipe and its going on my rally car conversion so I can't let that go. I think its a good deal, i just can't spend any more this month on RC stuff.
The BCE chassis sounds VERY nice though. Once again $$$ is an issue.
oh, OK was trying to save yousome money. Hit me up when you get some xtra $$.
I can take credit cards via paypal also...LOL
I cut all my CC's up about 1 year ago. I live on cash and savings now. No credit left. I will be debt free by Feb of 2009, and that includes about $22,000 in school loan debt as well.
I would get a sportswerks 26 engine it' a monster and only for 100 bucks you cant go wrong.
Well, keep in mind it has a Picco .27 now. So its certainly not slow, though its not fast either.
Bascially I'm looking for engines with more Umph than the picco, but without spending a lot upwards. I can get a Axial .28 spec 1 for cheap, and I still have 2 Team Infinity .27 3ports just laying around. I will probably run the truck as it for now, but later use it to break in the 3ports.
Have you considered the STS 28.
I ran the Picco 27 and 28.
I gave the STS a try and I am really please with it especialy for the money.
I got the motor(PS), Pipe and header shipped for $175
I dunno of you use a bump box but the BP is $8.
Bearings and parts are very reasonable for replacement.
I have 4 gallons on mine and still running strong.
I had it apart twice and it looks mint.
The Dyno report is pretty good.
I prefer this motor over the Picco---Picco's are finicky for a tune but this one holds it

+1 on that STS .28, sick power. I got mine for $110 shipped, bump start.
So far I've had no problems with the picco as far as holding its tune. Started right up when I got it and ran great while I finished up the tank of 20% that was in it.
Set it back to defaults for the next tank cause that was 30% and I retuned from there. Its quick enough, not alotta top end but the throttle response is great. I may even try one of the Team Infinity 3ports that i Have laying around, they are .27's so should go pretty good.
