Help choosing an engine and muffler

[Jmacca]

Hello all,

I'm looking to get a new engine for my RS4 and Firestorm 10T and I am looking for something that is a simple drop in.

My three thoughts at the moment are:
Ofna Picco .12 SG shaft
LRP Z .18 pro spec 2
O.S .12 TG-P

Can you please give me feedback on these engines and their performance and recommend a pipe that would suit it the best. Or even recommend one that I have not got there.

Thanks,
Jmacca

I plan on trying the Heat cycle break in method if this helps anyone...

All 3 are good reputable engines. I'd go with the Picco personally. Any good .12 is plenty for a 1/10th truck. They are already a handful with cheap .15's that most come with. A good .12 will be even stronger but smoother and more controllable, plus it will use less fuel.
Exhaust I have no clue. O.S. always recommends their pipes for their engines but they are way overpriced.

Thanks Scrogg, I'll do some searching to see what other people have used.
