Traxxas 3.3 power rating ??
What's the power rating of this engine?? any specs like Peak RPM, power @ ##### RPM, etc ??
I can find this engine for $100 new, seems to be a good deal

Redline is about 26000 RPM, and Traxxas wisely does not make claims as to horsepower. They do, however, claim the 3.3 gives 60% more power that the 2.5. Look on their website under the products button, then nitro, then scroll down to the 3.3- I think they still have the specs up for this mill. Don't be swayed by what you read about the 3.3 on RC forums- It's a good motor, as good as any I've used-'cept my beloved Picco .26, that is!

I agree! My experiance with this motor in a Revo, and brand new in my S-Maxx has been great! I got more out of it on the S-Maxx because it is a lot lighter than the Revo.
Easy to break in, easy to tune and gives a ton more power over my 2.5. If you get it with a pull start.... good luck starting it!

SPLdrag, the 3.3 was dynoed at .96HP (if I remember correct) it was under 1HP for sure,
EDIT: I just found a dyno of the 3.3 and it was .97HP@ 31,000rpm, 37in/oz and 37,000rpm
those are not the exact numbers, mainly the rpms but there with in 1,000rpms and the torque was like 37.54 or somthing like that.

Thanks for the replies !
only .97 hp? wow, my .12 OS TR does 1.1, but for 100 is a good deal, it's for a friend of mine that wants to upgrade fron a 2.5, i'll tell him to go for it

your OS 12TR couldn't put out anywhere near 1.1HP thats advertising for you. it would really put out like 0.5 - 0.6HP the OS 12 Speed only puts out 1.02HP Heres a link with a few dynos http://www.nitrodynesystems.com/Engine%20Database.htm
