HPI T-15 vs ofna Force .12S
HEy, im looking for a inexpensive engine that will create more power then the t-15 which came in my rs4 3 evo. im on a very limited budget so please don reccomend any engines toehr then the 2 im comparing.
1. Ok well from what ive heard the OFna force is a faster engine. True?
2. Also will the flywheel, flywheel nut, clutch shoes + springs, and 2 speed clutchbeel, from my T-15 work on the OFNa .12 ? They appear to ahve different shafts, but the T-15 had a threaded thing that was basically the flywheel nut, with material added one to cover up the threaded area of the engine shaft, and extended it a little bit.
3. Will i need a new flywheel nut for the ofna force .12, or will i need a whole new clutch system?
4. Are there any other parts, that ill need to get for the force.12 to work?
thanks, also if i need any parts, a link would be awesome.

NO NO NO STAY AWAY FROM FORCE ENGINES!!! I had one...many problems dude...only the slide carb is worthy and nothing more. Buy the 18ss nitro sar engine from HPI. Incredible engine, extremely powerful, stable and easy to adjust!

yah im only looking into sub $100 engines. The T-15 looks to be my best choice, and considering this thing is gonna be a drifter/basher, i dont need the most power, i need a relible engine.

RE: HPI T-15 vs ofna Force .12S
i know that wa my other choice, but its too expensive plus im really on a tight budget, and this car is a drifter so i dont need that power, the stock T-15 is fine
