It's not a big block, a bigblock is a 370 size motor(speed 300,scorpion,chubby,etc.). It's a 280 size motor like stock but it performs as well as a big block if not better than most,plus it has replacable brushes unlike a big block/stock 280,it has bearings, big blocks/stock don't. They are probably the best motor out for the mini T as far as life span and performance.

Being the best motor for the mini-t is still a highly debatable topic. While I 100% agree with you on the bearings and replaceable brushes, I still have seen conflicting posts on whether the Baja can bet a tuned 300 and vice versa.
The baja is a great motor......

I'd go for the K3 from United RC, myself. Hey, wait a minute, I did. Very good motor. Very happy with it. Took it to the track on Memorial day and the little sucker was so fast and the track was so new that I couldn't keep traction. Of course, when I did get traction I'd usually run into something, which would explain why I have a turnbuckle bent in half now. (that and I'm a bad driver)

Thanks for the props BK! Glad you like the motor. They are tuned for HIGH rpm...and do provide a significant increase in speed in any 18th scale car/truck.

Not a problem. I'm always happy to brag about someones product as long as it (and they) treat me well, and everythings been supagroovy with this thing. Just need an alloy motor cage (and it would be nice if it were as long as the motor) because with all the wheelies I've been getting, I'm going to eat through the stock plastic one in no time.
