Most carbs from 21 to 28 interchange bodied,The best carb that I've ever had was an ae 28 size carb.!

Why ....Its a full bodied all aluminum carb With out composit crap ,an only has the two needle settings!
Its easy to tune an keeps a tune!

I haven't found that to be the case. Seems all my engines have different sized necks.

That said, I think the SH engines use similar stuff that dynamite engines use, so perhaps a losi/dynamite carb will work.

Not sure I'd spend $60 on just the carb since you can buy the whole engine for around $100 on ebay.

Not sure if one of these will fit:

Not sure I'd pay $6.00 never mind $60 on ANYTHING that says RedCrap in the name!

SH engines used to be in a lot of XTM's stuff too back in the day. The old SH28 was a well regarded basher engine. I had one and it did ok in my savage, didn't hold it's pinch for a long time though. The newer ones don't last all that long either. After 3-4 gallons, mine became pretty tough to keep running due to lack of pinch.
