I think the truck will be geared properly and any good stock .21 will work just fine . I run a stock V-spec in my Helotes truck with buggy diffs and it`s plenty. Yes you can have too much power in my opinion , any more power than what the chassis can put to the ground is wasted , spinning tires gets you nowhere. Most .28s are fuel pigs anyway. Just my 2 cents.

yes, I was told by rick brake (rb mods) that most 28 are too much power for a truggie and the mileage sucks...he recommend a good 21 power plant..so got me a 821b rb modded...also the m8 might be a good one to look at for the xt8..just o2..thanks

or maybe one like this

Agreed,
I'm currently running a JP Modified B8T. "421b modified". It is wicked, with about 8.5-9 minutes in my truggy. The 821b is my next truggy motor.

We have guys at our track with GS XUT's and the RTR engine (think a .24 or .25) in them and they all can't make a 5 minute race, need a splash of fuel just after 4 minutes.

Plus 21-5 Hot Mod for now but eventually the RB C6 BB, Either way, it's going into the XT8!!!
