A good engine!

[bourney2006]

i have a lightning stadium RR, with the standard .26 power factory but the engine has broke and I'm looking at getting another. I have being following olds posts but can't find any of the engines specified. I race and bash, so will need a mid-range engine. It needs to be very reliable and have a long life.
Any suggestions?

I am normally a Novarossi guy but i decided to pick up a Werks teamline.21b7 and let me tell you i am truly amazed at the power that this thing makes and the fuel mileage that it gets. Dont get me wrong i still love my 421b and my 528 but for the $$ this thing rates right up there

What's your price range? If you race and bash, what are your size/port limitations, if any? The standard engine in the lightning isn't a very expensive engine if I remember correctly. How long did it last you? (gallons)

 

[bourney2006]

it lasted me about 1.5 gallons.
No limitations i only race at my local club nothing big. Price range is rather small as I'm still at school, about £100 max (thats about $200)

I use a STS .28 in my Jammin CRT truggy. 3 gallons and counting, and more power and compression everytime I run it. Awesome power and very easy to tune. And low cost for a high performance engine.

Wow! I can't believe those Jammin' engines are so affordable. When I heard about them I figured they would be just as expensive as the v-specs or higher because they have "jammin jay" printed on them. Should be a good engine.

the write up was pretty good they say the skimped on pretty and fancy just raw power

 

[bourney2006]

saying they skimped on looks it dosnt look that bad in fact it looks quite good. They also have a good spec, will defo look into it, thanks blitzkrieg
