Default Is the OS 18tm the best bang for the buck?

I am looking for an engine for my revo and I want to know if this would be a good engine. I am also looking at the RB .23. Can you tell which one of these motors would be a good investment. I will be doing and equal mount of both bashing and racing.

Thanks,
Alex

The RB is a better bang for your buck. You get an engine that is much stronger than an .18tm, pipe, header, and engine mount. The RB puts out so much power, it may be too much for racing depending on your driving skills, but for bashing, you can't beat it. I've seen an O.S. .18TM and it puts out a little more power than the trx 2.5. But not as much as the RB.

that is for big block though. as far as small block OS .18 is the best choice.

I have a Tm and I love it. Consistent tuning and there is plenty of power. Flips over at 1/4 throttle
