RE: nitro engine into a tt01
dont do it, an electric chassis is not made durable enough for a nitro engine, and the whole chassis is designed to accomodate a motor not an engine bo it will be majorly unbalanced, way more effort than its worth, not trying to discourage you but im just saying that its going to take way more than its worth and if you break a part then its not something that you can run down to the parts store for

RE: nitro engine into a tt01
well i know its going to be a lot of work, but the only thing that i will really be spending money on is teh engine. i dont really use this car any more because i got very bored with electric cars once i got into nitro. i just want to get a small used .12 or .15 for like 80 bucks and go from there. i have acess to make any custom parts a need at a presision sheet metal shop. i was just wondering if any one has done this before. im most likely going to do it and if i do ill keep you posted and post pictures of the process. anyone have an engine for sale?
