is the trx2.5 worth it?
i right now have the 2.5 and i here people complain about it. so i was thinking about upgrading to a os "can never go wrong with them." so would the .12 CV-RX be a good replacement for it? i would go with sumthin like the .12tz but it is too expensive for me.
|
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
the cv rx i bought did not fit between the motor mounts on my rusty but it is a pro 15 one, but i had a backplate for it anyway.

RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
i herd that the cv r-x is a gas guzzler? is that true?

RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
hahahaha, 17 minutes per tank. yes 17 minutes on a 75cc tank is crap my mate gets 34 minutes with his novarossi. hahahaha. nuh its great really. but i am replacing all my bearing with ceramics soon, so fix up a few air leaks.
but in all seriousness i DO get 17 mins a tank. so rest assured its good. Dann |

Dann Anyways, I have a Traxxas 2.5r engine and I have had no problems with it. OS i have had no problems with. You need to break them in diffrently though. |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
i run 25% nitro and just 8% oil so my end point leaves the carbie at only about 60% when wide, which is all it needs as the powerband is there way before that.

RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
i only get about 10-12 minuets per tank on the 2.5. 17 is alot better then what im use to. it also could be that it is a smaller engine though.
|
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
yeh it is but its quicker, dont get that confused with more power, its quicker.
Dann |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
what other 12 size motor will be a good replacement be in a reasonable pricerange?
dan--what do u mean? "its quicker, dont get that confused with more power, its quicker" which engine has more power and which one is quicer? |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
the 2.5 has more power, dont expect the same wheelstands out of the cv r but the cv-r is a smaller much more responsive revier engine.
Dann |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
i would rather go with the responce then the wheel stands. just gatta get some good off road tires, and some on road foam for fun at home.
|
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
Why would you ever want to go with a smaller motor unless you had to [:-] ???????????????????????????????????????
|
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
u8 dont get it do u? an 18 tz gets whipped on the track by a 12 tz.
Dann |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
will the tz fit in my rustler? the rustler is a rear exhaust when the tz is a side.
btw, yes i am dropping my engine size, but i will gain more. its not torque that wins the race, its speed and acelleration |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
tz is a rear exhaust yes it will bolt in.
Dann |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
i didnt mean the tz, i ment the cv. i was looking for a manifold that would work with it.
|
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
yeh the cv r needs a gt style exhaust, you will prolly need a new pipe and manifold, can i sugest the THS racing pipe set for gt ?
Dann |
RE: is the trx2.5 worth it?
phew, i thought i wasnt able to use that motor because of the side exhaust. can u show me a link about the manifold that your talking about? ive been looing but i havnt been able to find one.
thx for all ur help |
