i recently blew up my mach .26 in my lst. i was coming to you guys to find out what engine is the best for this truck. I'm more of a basher than a racer if this helps. Thanks for the help, Damon....

When I ran nitro I put a ofna force .32 in my MGT and put 4 gallons threw the motor and it still ran great when I sold it . And it cost me about 140 back in 2007.

Losi 454 from ebay - it's an LRP Spec 3 .28 twin.

Or a Dynamite Big Red .28.

Best value-for-money IMO..

x2 -- Can't go wrong with the 454. Check out Jenny's RC Sport on Ebay (jrc), he's selling them cheap.

thanks for all the advice. i went ahead and rebuilt the mach .26 because its been so reliable to me, and got the 454. but im having problems with the mach. i broke it in but i cant start it when its warmed up. it starts right up cold. any suggestions?

Couldn't agree more. Either one of these engines.

I have a spare 427 engine for sale if you're interested.

+1 for the 454, same thing as the lrp which is a beast of an engine but at a cheaper price.
