AEG21 Race - $59

And for the same price there is now a .28 available.

Not trying to pull the thread back from the dea but has anyone tried the .28 version? I was interested in something cheap so I was not beating up my nicer motors and snatched one of the .28's up.

I have no intentions to race with this motor. I was simply interested in it so I can save usage on my nicer motors. However I will give a complete review of the product once I receive it.

Quick update. Just finished my second gallon and the engine continues to surprise. Performance has been about what I expected; perfect for practice. Did have a leak in my front bearing so replaced it with one I had taken from my old Werks B5 that gave up its ghost a few months back.
I also decided to remove a coper shim, increase the exhaust timing and add a little crank timing. Immediately noticed that it increased the RPM dramatically!
No issues with the carb and there is no rod slop. I have not been kind to the engine, as it got a race tune after only 8 tanks of aggressive break in
Maybe I got a good one? I will check back in after another two gallons.

so finally got to run one of these and im impressed also. tune was easy, power is smooth (softer clutch) and it has good punch with 1.1s. im running a 083 right now but not sure it needs anything else. i got a rebuild kit too and put it in an old go case with a ceramic bearing i had. that one, same thing. have not looked at run time yet, their still in the first gallon. ill try my favorite pipe combo soon, 083 w/short header. the gos loved that combo.

Just a quick update. I'm on gallon......hell....I don't even know anymore! Still running strong. Likes the Werks 2013 pipe/header combo. Quite possibly the best practice engine ever. Nice and punchy down low but does lack on the top.
Save your big boy engines for race day and put a Trackstar .21 in your practice rig.

I put 5 tanks on this thing, its badass!! Super easy to break in, this is a very nice change. Power is plentiful and crisp. I got 12min. on only the 5th. tank, 7.0 carb restrictor with werks 2013 and os p3 plug. I would race this bitch with the best of them, so far Best engine I have ever had!!

I have a brand new engine its completely disassembled. I was planning to increase the timing ETC but I lost interest. Will sell it for the same price as HK + Shipping + paypal Fees. Or send as a gift.
