Default New to racing... need help

So I've got my revo 3.3 almost completley set for racing (with a lot of Slayden's tips) and the last question I have remaining is what class to race in. Since my 3.3 engine just broke I'm wondering what engine would best replace it. I hear a lot of good things about O.S. .18 TM and have had great success with O.S. before but not sure if I should go bigger like Sirio .23 or something like that. Can someone chime in with their 2 cents on this one so I can get my order in!! Thanks everyone

that's the thing... i'm a newb to that part. The cut off is .18 before unlimited right? I have good driving skills but have room for improvement and the primary place i'll be racing at is a fair sized track (roughly 45 yards by 30), packed dirt, tight turns and short jump series. What would work best for that and what other factors should I consider?
