Default Ever hear of SMT Engines?

I have a Smartech buggy with a SMT .15 engine. I can get my hands of a .21 SMT. Would it be worth it to get the same type engine that was in my buggy before? Engine that I have now .15 is pretty good, runs cool, realiable (so far). I just want more acceleration.

So, anyone know of SMT engines?

Their SMT engine is OK, but quite underpowered and they sell for as little as $55 brand new. The .15 is the only engine they produce for cars.

I have the .21 engine in my hands as I type... Under powered? For what it's worth, it accelerates quite fast, and I had it hitting 41MPH with a radar gun =) that .15 engine I mean.

But, there is an engine that I know of that has 1.3HP that is a .15, I forget what type it is, but it is well known. But that is what I really want, but I might as well, get a new HPI road car =)

Since you have the .21 why dont you put this one.
OK I know it is difficult and probably tear the whole thing apart but really there is no alternative to displacement.

Just a thought...........
