Default RS4 3 engine compatbility

Anyone know if this engine would work with a RS4 3 including the RS4 clutch assy.

Thanks for any help?

You can get the .18ss engine or a new T3.0 for that price. I doubt its any better than those. Freind of mine had one in one of those cheap buggies on ebay. Wasn't all that impressive to me. For that price you could spend a little more and get a O.S. .18cv [link]http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGGP6&P=SM[/link]. Wait for a Tower coupon and you could get 10-$20 or so off that. Unless your getting it super cheap I'd stick with the HPI engine or the OS. Atleast you'll know the HPI engine will be a direct fit.

It would fit with standard engine mounts but for that price, I agree a T3.0 would be the way to go. If you got the cash the OS 18cv-r would be even better =]
