Status: offline 		So for those that run nitro, what engines do you like to run in your dragsters. I've got a megatech dragster with the stock .16 that will get changed out once it dies. And an old bolink funnycar I picked up off ebay that I put an OS .15 in because I had it laying around. I havent finished breaking in the OS yet so I can't say how it will do.

Status: offline 		OS .18 TZ is a good motor for the megatech. Get the 5 port and if you can afford it get the EB modded one. I used one in my pro mod last year at the Worlds. I tried a .21 in my megatech and it tore up the tranny before half track. Not a real .21 either but one of the Picco .21's that had a small block to fit in a t-maxx. If you are going for top fuel Novarossi is the way to go. Get one of their top of the line on-road motors. I had a 35 plus 21 in my rail. Awesome power. Too much power some nights. Tended to do blow over wheelies.



The aftermath of one of those blow overs at around 70mph
