  1. Bashing
engines for under 130 dollars a cheap engine with as much hp as can get for a basher not a racer.
the dynamite match 2 .19t was suggested at me but i was told it has less grunt than a trx 3.3 and there has been scary talk of bearings going to pieces
the dynamite match 2 .21 looks more like it but what's needed to make that work? will it fit in or is there gonna be a ton of changes needed?
i have removed the ez-start and gone pull start - its for the best the thing just gets on my nerves.
 
Not sure about mach2 .21. Most engines that are .21 and over are big blocks. If thats the case then it will not folit on your tmaxx without changing the chassis. As far as the .19T goes if you buy a good set of bearings to install before you start the breakin then it will be a good mill. But that will put you in the price range of just buying a picco .26 max to begin with. I've had both trust me when i say the picco is worth the extra money. I got 3 gallons out of the .19T before it crapped the bed. Spent $80 rebuilding it with new carb body included and sold it to a guy that ran it for another 4 gallons and traded it off. The picco is what I'm running now and love it.
 
This is one of those things where you get what you pay for,you would be best waiting and saving some extra $ for a good engine,another 60 and you have a Picco .26

If you buy the reddot make sure to save up for a quality pipe and header. The stock one creates a enormous amount of back pressure and made me go through 2 carbs
