i got an RC10GT about 4 years ageo and i still have the stock motor in it. i was wonderin whats the biggest/best motor i can buy with out replaceing the tranny?

sfleuriet

I'd say.... the O.S .18 CV-RX!! [8D]

I just got one in my Tower ST and it's amazing.

I think you might need to SHORT version of the motor, but I'm not sure. I used to regular one, and it's perfect.

ok. i think ill buy the O.S. .18 CV-RX (S) w/11J Rotary Carb how much better is it than the stock .15?

sfleuriet

What brand is the stock motor?

Confusedude

umm i think its a Associated .15 motor no brand



P.S. will i need to replace the tranny sence this motor has alot more power?

sfleuriet

Okay I would imagine that motor to be similar to my stock Tower .15. If so, the .18 will have a LOT more power - you'll especially see it in acceleration.

I bet the stock tranny will be fine. Mine is fine so far, but I can't be sure if it'll last a long time. I'll just have to see. If yours does break, then worry about replacing it. But stick with the stock one to start out with.

ok thanks for answering my questions. but i got one last one do u know how much it is to replace a tranny if you break it?

sfleuriet

I really don't know. You probably wouldn't have to replace all the parts inside the tranny though.

Confusedude

ok




P.S. whoa just a new Associated RC10GT tranny (the full set) is 75$ and if mines broke i would image i would get a stronger one

you will need to get an ssrc clutch and metal gears for the tranny if you go with the .18. the stock clutch slips too much under the .18's power. it wears out clutch bells really quick with the stock clutch. it also stripped my tranny gears but i was in the grass so that may be why.

Mine's fine so far, but I'll try to post if/when it breaks.

I went with the OS.18TZ. A little overkill so I'd say your best choice is the OS.18CVRX

sfleuriet

lol $210 for the TZ - how is it any different from the CV-RX?

minimus

the tz makes alot more power and revs higher. it uses a turbo cut crank and 5 ports, some other stuff too i'm sure. mine is hard enough to control with the cv-r. i couldnt imagine one with a tz.
