Not to dissuade you but that motor is not a overly powerful motor...in fact it will likely be one of the slower .21's on todays market.... the Hott modding really means barely touched and no more powerful then stock.. smoother powerband maybe, but no added mean power.... compared to a OS 28 that Cobra will look like a $50.00 RTR engine....... There are many other engines that will make a whole pile more power and cost you less money, the claims of 51 000 RPM are also nowhere near realistic..expect a maximum of about 38 000 rpm under load,

Thats great that other motors pull more on a dyno.... But that wont allways translate into on track performance. I dont care what it pulls on a dyno, i know that at the track the OS .28 is nearly untouchable power wise.

Im not biased either, i dont run nor own one of the OS .28's

Wheelies are just a minor set-up change, and Chances are its not going to wheelie on dirt anyway. Not quite the same traction as asphalt.

Sounds like you know a lot about engines...You got a site or something for your modding business?

I ran .9 clutch springs, composite shoes, and a 15 tooth clutch bell trying to tame a strong .28 and all it did was eat clutch shoes, clutch bells ( it stripped all the teeth off of 3 different ones), and run faster on the top end. I broke one diff (It twisted the pins in the diff case) and also ripped some tires apart.

Maximo's the man! I have never bought one of his engines but we talked a few times. He is MR. Engine Mod. He works mostly with Picco's and Jammin engines. When he's done you get more run time, more torque, more power, and longer life. (your engine, not you) It's also still cheeper than buying one of the overpriced Nova's OS, or Ninja, but his modded Jammin will blow them all away. I'm thinking of getting one of his .21's for my buggy, once my V-pec sucks blows up.

There are definitely precautions you have to take with a super engine. It's mostly just set up though. It is imperative that your gear mesh is perfect! A perfect gear mesh makes no noise at all when the car is rolled back and forth. Just a hair too close or too far, and you see what happens. You also need to be much smoother on the throttle. When you gun a .28 and EVERYTHING isn't set exactly right. It usually just flings parts all over the place

You are correct...I forgot to put loctite on the little screw on the end of the motor's output shaft that holds the cb/flywheel on and the cb was sitting half off the shaft and clutch shoes were showing after I got done running the other day. It'll definitely make you check every nut and bolt before running.

Let the thread lock dry over night. If your useing Permatex blue.

Who's going to be the first to put an 053 on the .28xz? We like loud.
