Default good engine with t-maxx

What is a very VERY good engine for a t-maxx, but i do not want a BB conversion.
I have a 100-250$ budget thats it.
Any ideas?

i thought i needed a BB conversion for a ofna .26 engine. And would it not make it sound like a BB? or could you keep it sounding like a stock t-maxx but with more performance?

This is the Picco Max .26 drop in for the revo and tmaxx, it uses your (stock or upgraded) clutch, ez-start and exaust system from the 2.5/3.3 TRX engine:

Yea, it is a bigblock, but this one has been engineered to work with a Tmaxx/revo. This is mount is all you will need for the maxx:

Personaly, I love the OS .18TM, its user friendly, its a power house with a big pipe, it drops in with no additional parts to buy, its lighter, revs higher (me likie screaming engines ) and so far takes a mega beating. We've had many drag races between 4 other bash buddies and the .18TM eats us non stop and only seems to get faster!

yeah i'd like to know that one. My girls father just got a revo 3.3 tonight and the guy at the hobby shop said that the 2.5 motors only last for about 4-5 gallons. I dont know if there is any truth behind that. But any case, i might get the OS .18TM. It's seems pretty bad ass. hahahaha. Would it be better than the 3.3? I wanna know all.
