Default WANTED: A nice big block engine.

Got a truggy recently and I need something to push it. I'd prefer one that is setup for some sort of drill-start. Pull-starts are a maybe, bump-start ones are a no-go (dont have a box)

I have a full set of Pro-Line Powerstrokes or a ARTR Losi XXX-S i could possibly trade for one. Or, I can just buy if its cheap enough.

ive got a Mach .26, bought it new last winter, ran maybe a gallon through it in my MGT off and on over the summer when I wasnt running a Picco .26 in it.
It has the rotostart backplate on it. Id consider trading for a full set of powerstroke shocks.

My spending limit is about 50 until I get sell off some stuff, like those p-strokes, or that xxx-s. I dont expect nothing fancy at that price. Also only really for something with .21-.28 displacement.

mach51, I dont think i can do a straight trade for that engine.

I actually have a spare motor to go with the Mach 26, its another mach 26 that the rod broke and damaged the engine but it does come with an extra stock head and an larger aftermarket head.

still looking.

I want something that already has a clutch (esp a clutch) and bell. Id prefer something that is some sort of drill start, not really into yanking on a cord. Bump-start ones could work if you can add a starter box to the deal.

I dont need anything fancy, just as long as it has some life to it. something like a TT .28 would be perfect.

couple of things:


couple guys have posted about having Mach .26s

if you think the TT.28 is better you are kidding yourself. I had the TT.28 in my MGT new and sold it and put the Mach 26 in it that I told you about. Much much better engine.


also, make sure your truggy motor mounts can handle an engine with a rotostart backplate. otherwise you will be grinind a bunch or shimming the engine up - either way its a hokie fix.

good luck.

Its not so much that i think its a better engine (which I dont...) as it is a pricing thing.

A mach .26 with a gallon on it, broke in the right way and spare engine parts compared to a set of discontinued shocks that one of them is ground flat on the body?

Well, my (apparently POS...) shocks are on ebay, so you'd have to shoot me a cash offer.
