My buddy just switched from a trx 15 to this in his 1st gen maxx. Quite the difference. Bolt on too with its side exhaust and rotary carb. Just throwin it out there.

Status: offline 		I had an .18CVRX years ago. Absolutely hated it. Sold it and bought a 2.5R which is still going to this day.


IMHO, I would send the .15 into traxxas and have them send you a new 2.5R for $85. Can't beat that deal.
