Another vote for the OS .18TZ.

but for the same price i can get an STS .30 and i dont feel like goin big block....
any other ideas??
thnx

The [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXHLV9&P=ML]OS .18TZ[/link] is only 140 at Tower right now. That's only 30 more than the cvrx and has a lot more power. How much are you looking to spend?

jvs8864

well i wouldnt mind goin big block, but dont know where to get the right big block conversion.... but, for a small block, between 90-130....

For big block conversion you could either use [link=http://www.neweramodels.com/item.cgi?session_id=lybnwrfaitqebhnbripwjyxpblgyji sl&part_id=2182]this[/link], or get a chassis and parts from a TNX 5.2 off ebay.
For a small block in that price range, your best bet is the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGGP6&P=ML]OS .18cvrx[/link].

that O.S. is sick!! and for 109 ill prb get it
thnx for the links

Any O.S. 18, tm, tz, cvr, cvrx.

SOILWORK

The OS .18cvrx is a excellent engine for the TNX and is side exhaust wich means it will drop right in without any modification. A engine with rear exuast will require some modification to the shock tower for the exhaust manifold to fit.

Save 10 bucks and you could get the os .18 tz

SOILWORK

The tz will not work without modification because it is rear exhaust.I have TNX 3.0 and it need a side exhaust engine. The big block conversion is available at www.neweramodels.com

lol all good suggestions. but any that ARENT O.S engines????
thanks

ARENT OS??? not any that are small block. OS makes the best small blocks for MTs. Why don't you want an OS?

jvs8864

mostly expense and the break in.... i really just wanted to try suttin new
i guess i dont have a choice

SOILWORK

What is wrong with the break in process on the OS, every engine has to be broken in regaurdless of manufacture. The only other engine that will work is the HPI .18 with the side exhaust.

For ease and simplicity I'd ge the ,18CV-rx. If you're up to doin some special mods, and a little custome work then go with the Tz...I've won races with both.

But the Tz doesnt have much competition on the straights, including big blocks.

jvs8864

ooook

O.S it is....

thnx everyone
