new engine
i have a t-maxx 2.5 but i don't have all the torque and speed i want. so i wanted to know what would be a good powerful engine for my t-maxx. btw, i want it to be a direct drop in. or if i have to mod it to fit, it would be cheap to mod it to fit. also it doesn't matter if it's a pullstart, actually i would prefer it to be a pull start.

RE: new engine
not really, you can do a Picco 21, but you then need to go BB chassis and get the Ofna/Tmaxx 21 conversion if you have an origina 15 maxx. or ify ou have a 25 or a 33 then you need only the motor block i think. the os18TM is a direct drop in.

RE: new engine
i've been looking at the o.s. 18 but how powerful is it. if it can wheelie from a stand still or moving then that would be the amount of power i want.

yes the os 18TM will drop right in with a 2.5 not 1.5 engine mount. has plenty of power and will ride wheelies all day if you want. just DONT RUN IT LEAN or its toast.

RE: new engine
how about the Sirio .23 or RB .23! those are 2 good really powerfull engines. they come with there own motor mount so they are a direct drop in. i had the Sirio in my old Revo and it was nutz

RE: new engine
How about the new traxxas 3.3? Direct bolt in with more power. I think you can even get it through traxxas's engine replacement deal so it would be like half price.
