New engine suggestions

[ajames942]

Ok so my 3.3 blew a piston rod and I'm looking for a new engine. I'm kinda sad becuase i thought i would be done putting money in it for awhile since I'm looking to buy a real car. I just wanted some suggestions on a new cheap but good engine. perferebly 120 or below. I know i can get a 3.3 for 100 on ebay so i dont know if i should do that or get a differnt one. so any suggestions on what to get........its for a t-maxx the new extended one thanks

If your trying to save some bucks just rebuild it yourself.

And how much is the engine replacement at Traxxas? Might be around that price.

IMO, buy a new piston and sleeve, maybe new bearings depending how old the engine is and get out of this cheap. $50

He broke the con-rod, so that will add another $30-$40 to the total. Otherwise I'd say your suggestion is the right thing to do.
