Default .28 Jammin Engine - Has anyone raced this Engine?

Does anyone have any opinions on the new Jammin .28 engines? I have a new Matrix Arena TR and I need a reliable race engine. I have narrowed my decision down to the LRP Spec 3 .28 truggy non-pullstart and the new jammin.

Please let me know what you think?

Thank you

From what I've seen the LRP is very fast for the money. That would probably be the more reliable of the two.

I'm using the LRP with a JP2 pipe and it has good low end power, the top isn't too shabby either. I replaced the V-Spec in my ST-R with the LRP and haven't looked back. Lots of bang for the buck.

Which ever engine I end up going with, I will be putting my JP-3 pipe on it.

Thanks for the comments

Please keep adding to this thread.

I ended up going with the LRP, but there are a few club racers running the Jammin and it looks like a good engine.

Thanks for your posts

I have the .28 in my crt truggy that motor rips! I only raced one time with it and it was running at 210F after a 20 min main with tons of power.

as far as reliability the jammin motors are unbelivable!
we have 20 gal plus on some of our race engines.
power is unreal and tuning is a breeze!
too bad you went lrp but im sure it will be a good motor!
good luck!

Yesterday, I was pitting for a buddy of mine who is running the Jammin and I only fueled him once in the 15 min main. He still had fuel left at the end to run about 4 more laps. Right now my LRP is not getting that kind of run time, but my bottom end still seams rich. Time will tell.

I am very impressed by what I am seeing with the Jammin motor

Can one of you guys that have the jammin .28 post the stock needle settings from the sheet that came in the box?

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to anyone that can help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
