What is best size engine for baja

[BajaMadness]

I recently bought a hpi baja 2wd used but it doesn't have a engine. What does everyone recommend for new driver?

26cc-30.5 or a g32......whats ur budget ?

 

[Z.hb71]

As big as you can afford ?

 

[BajaMadness]

No more than $400. The truck didn't come with gears either so I have to look into buying those

Zenoah g320 or obr longblock ?

32cc seems to be a good size for a baja , thats what 's in mine good power to weight ratio
others will POO POO this but https://www.rovanrc.com/product-rv810281 + https://www.rovanrc.com/product-rv95066 and gears all for under $400 , they do cover bad parts with no ?'s so ??? its an option

Thanks for the recommendations everyone. Everything I read says zenoah engines are best so I bought a 26cc zenoah. I just need now to find out what parts I need to complete.

Ran a 26 for years, still prefer a lighter higher revving motor in the bajas. You already barely have traction...

Which are going to be super popular on a track, loose dirt, etc...especially with the owner lol

G320 is the best budget motor out there
