how to pick an engine?

by "Smed" <gsx1300r_busa@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Nov 10, 2007 at 07:09 PM

Even though I'm having a blast with my Revo 3.3 I'm starting to look at 
building a new system for next year.  Most of the time when I go to the 
local track I'm the only one there.  I figure if I have 2 rc's, I could 
throw a remote at my brother or wife or whoever to liven it up a bit.

I'm thinking the RC8 but picking out the engine is harder than it seems. 
I 
don't want to buy the cheapest as "its always more expensive to buy cheap 
first" (I forget who said that).  But I really don't see the reason to buy

the most expensive one (who cares if your car can do 50mph when you only 
have the running room for 20mph before slamming on the brakes for a 
corner?).

I'm looking for the happy medium.  Around $300 or less.  Horizon Hobby has

the Picco/Omega .21 Super Comp Bugg for $250.  They seem to like this 
engine.

Does anyone have any experience with this engine?

Does anyone have a favorite engine?

Will any engine slap right in to any buggy/truck/truggie or are they 
specific like trying to hook a Chevy engine into a Ford?

Thanks for the help.
