Looking at the Sirio Kanai .21 Edition #1, will it have more power than my HB26?

I know the .26 HB motor is quick but I am going to guess that a nice race .21 should rip it apart...

The Sirio .21 doesn't have much low end power, but has a good amount of top end.

Top end motors aren't ideal IMO because you spend very little time on the straightaway, you need power coming out of corners.

Ok then. I'll just stick w/ the 26 till I find something better....

Don't make any quick decisions... you can gear your truck for the low end and use the top end as needed. I personally prefer the opposite...use the bottom end of the engine to pull a higher gear.

Thing is though is that I'm prolly gonna end up selling this truck too. I just don't have as much interst in it as I thought I would.

too much low end is even worse, tire spin will kill u

Throttle control....its all in the finger

All good points, don't get me wrong, the Sirio is a good engine, it just doesn't have a lot of low end punch. I'm sure with the right pipe and gearing combo, it could wake up, but in a Truggy, you already are using the gearing to overcome the tire size. In a Buggy, it is a great engine.
