ive ran both in my 5T, and have never had any drive train problems...IMHO the .28 is better in the truggy...the new racing 28's have the same top end as the 21's, but have alot more bottom...i would say go with the .28...and when your out looking for a new engine take a look at the Go Tech .28, its a killer for just a lil over $200...

.21 all the way, they have just as much power as any of the best drivers will ever need, and anyways .28 dont have any more top, just more bottom end to make the car harder to keep control of. I use .21s and will never switch to .28, a .21 is all you need. And they also get better gas mileage so that could easily be the difference between 2 and 3 pits or however many pits you have to make.

the .28's have great bottom power compared to the .21. But I think majority of the pro's still use .21 mainly because of the fuel econnomy and I think the .21 engines are still a little more reliable than the .28 at the moment. I'm sure the .28 engines will get much better with the popularity of truggies.
