I never saw it for that cheap, so I would say get it, but be careful, I have a friend who put one it his rustler and he totally tore up the drivetrain, he upgraded the tranny, and he started stripping spurs, got a steel spur, and now he tears up the bell, man though, that engine has A LOT of power, it could beat some .21s man!! If you can't handle the power[sm=punching.gif] you can get an .18 CVR, CVRX with pull start. I wonder how cheap those run for?... anyway, anyone else?

dude i have a os 18 in my evader and it tears up my tranny. let alone a tz. just get a 12 tz wont be as hard on your tranny

cracker636

yeah but the .12 tz is $100 more i can beef up my drive line alot for that

does the 18 drop in or need more parts?

AE Pilot

That's far too much engine for a 4 pound ST. As it stands, the .12TZ would absolutely overwhelm you.

That's definitely an unbeatable price, but you should really look into something more practical like the .18 CV-RX (S). The only thing you'd need is the NTC3 PS engine mounts and the NTC3 clutch nut.

Good luck.

AE Pilot

By the way, the .18 CV-RX (S) is $109.99.

I dont see why you would put the .18tz on that car. I mean, your gunna have to run to turn around your flipped car after every time you accelerate. But maybe thats just me, some people love the exersize.

Snaut Rocket

why is the 12 tz more than the 18 tz

rclynx

OS .18TZ also has a pull start model for 10 or 15 dollars more and the 12TZ has different type machined parts and they can get the price

cracker636

yeah im thinkin more .18 CV-RX (S) i need the same stuff for it?

annie_himself

For that price its hard to pass, you might have a hard time with the short crank; I don't know if the NTC3 clutch nut is made for cranks that short.

I just dropped the .18TZ in my rc10gt2 RTR. The only parts I needed was a NTC3 clutch nut http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXBMD5, the engine mounts of a NTC3 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXBMK6 and this is the header I got http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXNYY7, you will also need exhaust manifold springs and an air filter, the one of the .15AE RTR engine wont fit.

Its a lot of engine but I love it. You just have to learn a lot of finger control with the throttle

cracker636

have you broke anything?

fastn

I havent broken anything yet

I run the OS .18 TZ in my XXX-NT and I cannot believe I havent broken anything yet. I probably have 1.5 gallons on it in the truck. My diff has held out great. Here is a quick vid of the crazy power.

for this [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGGP5&P=SM[/link] i need the nut and the new mounts right?
and the flywheel lines up with the hole in the bottom still right?

fastn

I dont know if that one will fit as nicely, i dont know if the flywheel will fit properly on the shaft of that engine. I think the shaft needs to be like on this motor http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHLV6&P=0 or like this one with a NTC3 clutch nut http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHLV7&P=0 I think having the whole shaft threaded will keep the flywheel from fitting properly

cracker636

ah scerw it you only live once im gettin the TZ[>:] its only $20 more if it brakes stuff i'll just keep making it stronger

fastn

Go big or go home....thats what I always say.

cracker636

thats funny i just said that then i looked at ur post i'll just turn my throttle trim down to get use to it
