Status: offline 		I want to upgrade the engine and low end torque on my tornado. I am planning to get an O.S. .18 CV-R engine. Would that be a good upgrade for my needs of hilly terrain? Also which is better: O.S. .18 CV-R or a TRX 2.5? THanks

i thought the TRX 2.5 is a .15 engine and the 3.3 is a .20 size

the .20 is one you do not hear quite oftin... what other companys make a .20 engine?

But the 2.5 and the 2.5R's are different engine. the 2.5 is stronger and turns 50,000 rpm's, the 2.5r turns the same but has a bigger head so it can be leaned out little more and still run cool.

as far as i know, traxxas is the only one that offers a .20 engine. I would take the os over the traxxas engine in a heartbeat, the os cvrx is a direct fit for the 1/10 redcats. the 2.5 or 2.5r have a rear round exhaust and would need a little work to get them to work on the cars. The 2.5 is a pretty powerful engine for a .15

Status: offline 		cool i cant wait to see that video. i guess my crankshaft bearing was weak from the start and just finnaly failed. i had brought it to a track and wanted to drive it but i brought my t-maxx also to try but i really wanted to drive the buggy, and i started it, warmed it up, drove a little down the track, it stalled, and that was the last time it ran without priming it a lot, and even then it just stalls

Status: offline 		os 18cv-rx is the easiest swap. The os 18tz-tx will work easy too but you will need a different manifold. with the manifold it would put the tz right at your price range.

I have a sts.28 that won't run under 280 no matter what I do. Most of the time it's up around 300 and still no problems after a year of running it. The temp worries me a little bit, but if it runs, it runs...lol I hardly ever make an engine blow before I swap them anyway. Always looking for something better.

Status: offline 		this problem is too common. on your trans. there are two set screws one locks the hub in place and the other is for shift points. if it's stuck in first gear turn the shift point set screw out 1/2 turn at a time and test it it can be a long and painfull process if it's in 2nd gear just do the opp. this is why most of us go with the single speed trany. hope this helps anyone eles have some info if i'm wrong wich i think i'm not
