Default replacement engine for Lightning Stadium Pro

I am looking to get a new engine in about a month or so and I am wondering what is a decent (under $300) dollar engine to replace the stock .26?

I am looking at a RB S5, Mach .26, or ??

thanks

RB S7 II. Ace Hardware hobbies has them for $240. Great low end torque engine.

IF you are a serious racer the WS7 II is an awesome engine VERY fast and reliable,If you are an occasional racer the Mach.26 is still fast for cheap But dont forget about an O.S VZB-Vspec-T Ive seen a few of those ripping up the track as well

P5 with out a doubt. Great torque. good revs and most important, great fuel consumption. I have one in my MBX-5 and in my lightning. Believe it or not the lightning is faster. Bought one off ebay brand new in box for $220.
