Default Engine decision

OK,im want to get a new motor for my revo some time soon or maby for christmas, i cant decide wether i want a OS .18 or a Picco .21

i want the .18 cause its got decent power and it is more fuel efficient, but is expensive

i want the .21 cause its cheaper, and has more power but uses more gas.

what do u think i should do?

are there any other things i should consider?
Note: I LOVE POWER (who doesnt?)

What do u guys think?

well you cant beat the o.s. for reliablility and the o.s. has impressive power. also consider the picco 26 drop in they just came out with. i saw it somewhere. like 2.5 hp or something. will need some drivetrain upgrades with that though.

I dont really want to go as big as .26

im seriously thinking about the .21
can anybody tell me anything good or bad about this engine?
i found one for $160 on ebay and it comes with the mount needed for my revo.

picco is fairly popular. so?

160 isnt bad. they are usually like 180 brand new. they are good engines but you may have some drivetrain problems, although im not sure my friends t-maxx was killed by this engine but he has a supercharger and jumbo kong tires.
