it depends on the os, the os tz.18 has more power.  The os cvrx is powerful and reliable.

It Doesnt matter which engine is faster. On the Track, the better Driver will always win,,,,even with a slower engine.....
A Faster engine is Harder to drive....You will crash more,,,,,and be SLOWER.

so ture Rich... in Practice there was a guy running the Nitro 1/8 truggy and another guy with a Slash. the guy in the slash stayed in the front for over 3 laps. the nitro guy tried and tried to pass him but couldnt cuz either he would crash or couldnt keep up in the turns. till the guy with the slash crashed..... so slower isnt always Bad....

Just use the 20% fuel it calls for. You can go get the 33% but you got to look at it like this. Do I want to potentially hurt my engine? Take for instance a real car with a factory engine. Dump in some 110 octane racing fuel. It will run like crazy.. till you burn out the pistons.

It depends.....What is your PURPOSE for changing the Pinion (Clutch Bell)?

More teeth will make you faster on the TOP Speed,,,,but will be SLOWER when you are starting out.

15 and 16 will probably be about the same. I would go with 15.

You are not Racing on a Track?

The guys here in the Forum who Have an RXT-1,,,,,They say that the 13 tooth Clutch Bell works best for Most Tracks.....

I dont think Anyone would ever use a 15 or 16 tooth Clutch Bell on the Track, ( with the RXT anyway)

I was GUESSING that you wanted to do Drag Races with your Freinds,,,,and you wanted Top Speed Only. Thats why I sugested 15 tooth.

Nice video, bro. You really have it tuned and running well - sounds great.

By the way, you may want to order some new tires soon drifting like that!
