1/8 Inferno GT motor recommendation
I am new to nitro so sorry for the newbie questions. I just got my first Inferno GT and it has an Axial .28 and I only get 5-6 minutes of run time.
I have a RC8T with a Werks B5 and I can get 8 minutes of runtime. It is a .21 but seems to have plent of power for the truggy.
Would a Werks B5 .21 work well in a GT, it seems most people have a .28 is there a reason? or do you have any other recommendations for $175-$225 price range that would have more power and better fuel economy.
Thanks.

One of the great reasons IGT is so fun to Race/Bash is because it’s hard to put a “wrong” Engine in it.
Many of us have a old 3 or 5 port .21 or .28 laying around from a buggy and they just slide right in and work great, after all these are buggy’s with a 2speed and slicks. At worst you might have to change your pinion gears to adjust for the type of power your engine has.
I would stay away ALL RTR Engines they tend to be more hassle then the few dollars u save is worth.
Pick your favorite Engine and let it rip….
I also agree the Werks is a very good engine for this class.
TecnoPower has a few .21 engines left at Amainhobbies cant get a better engine for the money. Less then 200.00
Whatever engine you decide on just remember the one rule,
Smile when you pull that trigger.

Thanks for the replies...... I have 2 motors that I like so far with my limited experience.... Both have been easy to tune and run great.
My Werks B5 and a Jammin JPX .28
Both are about the same price..... but I am leaning toward trying a B5 in the Inferno.

I just picked a used B5 I usually avoid used but it was cheap I couldn't pass...... I think I will keep it as a back up for now. I will just keep running in the stock class.
Gus, I just hope I can keep the car running long enough for you to pass me!
