I had a s7 in a 7.5 and it was slower on bottom end too. I know exactly what your saying. It's irritating. For that buggy I would get a Novarossi p5. You could send the ws7 to get it modded and that might help. On the plus side the w7 is really reliable and will last for a long time. Good luck. I suggest getting an xray 808 buggy and putting that ws7 engine in it. Perfect combo.
I just used to run WS7 as well. Very nice engine. RB is very high quality and it would last a lot longer than 2 gallons. The question I would ask is, is it really a 2 gallon old engine? If yes, then I would invest in a NovaRossi 9853 or 9886. If you are unsure, I would rather spend the money on a Nova Plus 21-4
