HI all,

I'm still new to the 1:8 Buggy scene, and am thinking of replacing the ori Kyosho GS21R with a .28 Truggy engine. Will it be a drop in? I just wanna have fun, no intentions to join any competition....yet

i think it can be fitted but just worried whether your differential gear will damage or not as .28 engine is much more powerful than .21.

Hahaha...yeah, that's why I thought of going for a lower gear ratio, and just get a baseline model. What concerns me now is the engine height. It might put off the balance.....BTW, your Hyper 7 still for sale ah? Ekekekeke

U r using pullstart engine right ???


Normally should not be any problem with the engine height if u r using starterbox.. If u use pullstart then the pullstart backplate might touch the chassis a litter bit...


I tried Hyper 7 with original spur and clutch bell with .28...No problem at all provided all the gear mesh is in good order.. DO not used Alum clutch with .28 or else u will go broke coz it will not last u long...Used normal carbon clutch with .9 spring..

Which truggy engine u wanna put in with??

My 2 cents

I have a GS XUT truggy and was previously running a Werks .21 engine in it. I recenly changed it to the werks .28 engine without changing anything at all. It works perfectly fine. The engine is generally the same dimensions, i didnt even change the engine mounting. Even the meshing was still correct. Truggy so far running fine, and in fact i think the .28 makes the truggy more responsive.

Hi dude07,
Yeah I'm using a pull start, and it seems that a .28 pullstart engine has potential mounting risks. I'm thinking of the LRP .28 going for RM699 at HPC. Or maybe find a good 2nd hand one Thanks for giving the heads up!

If u have intention to use pullstart engine, then it might have slight problem but I think u should use the bumpstart engine which use starterbox. Get the LRP Spec3 truggy engine. U will get insane power and to some extend, u will unable to control it..kekekekekekekekekekekekeke

I am using it on my truggy and still with loads of power..

me no sifu ler...me also beginner and at learning stage also lorrrrr...

However, for buggy, any .28 will be too much.. Maybe u can try out Mach .28which is price reasonable...
