I just got my first truggy. I was thinking about getting a P5, but then thought a larger size motor would be better. I think the .21 should get better milage, but I am worried about the power or lack thereof. Any ideas?

A Good .21 will have plenty of power for a Truggy... From my experience the .25 do lack run time and in some cases lack high rpm also

Ninja (think they stopped making them?), Os, Alpha , Fusion X7 (Novarossi).. (don't know much about Current RB engines) just to name a few all make .21 engines more than powerful enough for Truggy, I even have a few guys running our .21 X5L less powerful Five port than our X7 engine because they feel the .21 X7 is too powerful in Truggy in many cases


The P5 is a good engine... nice bottom end for Truck

.21 as stated in the previous post is more than enough power!

A good .21 is what most use, but I will say a lot of guys are running the Alpha .23 as it gets insane mileage and its got a bit more punch than a .21.

The .25s have been very popular at my home track and I have seen no lack of top end. I have been running a .21 and mileage has been the only advantage. I will be trying the alpha .23 next.

Thanks for all the help. Our track is kinda small, so I am thinking that the .21 would not be a bad idea. Or am I wrong?

No such thing as wrong on this issue. Only lap times and run times can tell u for sure what is best for you.

I'm running a werks b6 .21 in my d8t and it has loads of power. Both the tracks I usually run on are kinda small and it does awesome

The Alpha .23 is very strong motor. It's like .28 on the bottom with .21 top end and fuel mileage.
I am still learning to be very gentle with the throttle finger to keep the car on the track

I'd say good .21 would be more than enough for a truggy.
The .23 IS more than enough, especially on a small track
