True statement. However, if you want to put all the additional power these engines make to the ground, you'll need to upgrade the clutch and the idler gear. Why waste all the extra power by soaking it up with the slipper clutch?

So true grampi. Power=fun especially on a high traction surface.

The CVR is a dam good engine. You shouldn't be disappointed with your choice.

Master,

I know this was mentioned briefly before in the thread, but if you plan on racing, you will likely not be able to run a .15 engine. Check with your local tracks before you put one in. You'll probly need a .12.

Ya, I know where you're at (Dubai). Iwould suspect money is NO issue

Lol, yea i think they only allow .15's, but i think they will have a class for that or something,, cuz everyone over here's got .15's. What would be the top speed if I had a .12 o.s in my rc10gt?and top speed for the .15 o.s? Im really gonna be bashing and maybe enter a few races...

I don't know about top speed with an OS CV-X .12, But on my truck, I have a fantom 12, and my gears are stock. As of now, I can hit 50+.

It took a 17 tooth clutch bell and a 58 tooth spur gear to get those kinds of speeds with my RC 10.

The idler gear is the middle gear in the tranny. It basically transfers power from the input to the output gear.

My gears are stock. I have my fantom 12 in my gt. I used a spped gun to record the speed. My fantom cranks out 40,000+ rpms.

I know something in my drive system (part of the clutch) was changed before I brought it. The original owner was a compitition racer. I'll be one too when I do a few things (new body, glow starter, etc.). Does anyone know how to make a homemade glow starter? I know how, but I want to hear other people's ideas.
