The dynamite big red's are good buget engines but if you are going for power I would get the LRP .28 or even .30. The .28 lrp is roughly $170 while the big red is $140.

Axial .28's don't hurt if your on a budget. But if you have the extra money go with Lrp's

What's the rest of the truck going to be like..? If it's going to be a real big fella with huge wheels/tires and chunky chassis then having 2 .28s might be needed, but you'll have to make the drivetrain up to handling the power. I'd be tempted to put a couple of .21's in though, which'll go easier on fuel, have a bigger rev range and won't put so much strain on the drivetrain.

With aluminum parts and big tires I would go with .28's, they will provide the torque needed for a big truck.

The original Big Twin conversion had .26 engines, so I guess .28's must be about right with the extra alloy.
No idea how much Picco's are in the States, but the P3 .28 would be my choice over any of the LRP's, might be too expensive, in which case the LRP .28 or one of it's cheaper brothers would be ideal (Losi 454, SH .28, XTM 457.. All basically the same mill aren't they).
Are you going to be "SHDing" the drivetrain up? I can see broken diffs gears and bent dogbones ahead with all that power and weight!
