Lrp really seems to be the way to go. OS and Picco are supposedly good as well.

I love OS engines but they can be a bit pricey IMO. Picco is decent but I've had issues with some of their slide carbs binding. I bought their products years ago, maybe the issue has been resolved, IDK

there are plenty of great engine makers out there but 95% of them seem to be box start only. i dont wanna carry that box around. I'm never at the track.

hyper .28 mac star or lrp engines for sale. neither have good part selections available though.

went with the same lrp .28 spec 3 that i already have...figure ill have spare parts.

Novarossi, LRP, OS and Pico. Whichever suits your budget.
