Status: offline 		i Just put a Picco P3 .28 in my 3.3 revo it was alot of work to make the engine fit but it was well worth it anytime if i got over like 75% throttle the truck will flip on to its roof it is crazy fast i also hear the the picco .26 reddot is good to and all you need is the OFNA engine mount for revo and maybe new exhaust any engine you got will be an improvement over stock

Status: online 		The 18tm is a great engine and a nice upgrade from the 2.5 but you will have a hard time finding a new one as they have been replaced by the 21tm (another one to definitely look at, too, and is a direct drop in). The RB is a beast...nice thing about that one is you get the engine, mount and pipe all together (but is is fairly pricey). The Picco 26 is another very popular engine (tons of torque) but you will need a different motor mount. What about the Traxxas ERP and grab a new 3.3? The owner of my lhs just started breakin of a RB523 and I guess it is crazy.

Status: offline 		I would definately say the picco .26 max, picco .28, or the RBTM523. Any of those 3 would be very good choice imo....
