Any modifications necessary? Is it good to break hem in how traxxas recommends?

zack221

im not sure how traxxas says to break theirs in but im sure it wouldnt hurt the motor b/c all these motors are pretty close design wise.

zack221

no not any mods needed it just bolts right in the car

The OS .18 is a direct fit, but if I'm not mistaken you'll want the one with the standard crank, not the short crank.

See the difference?

Zack, you need to check your information. I'm the second guy who followed your advice and bought that engine. It's got the wrong crankshaft. And like the other guy, I also had to spend an extra $40+ to get the correct shaft.


Cdextreme,

Make sure you order the OS .18 engine with the standard shaft.

Also note that the link to the engine with the standard crank does NOT have a pullstarter. And you can't attach a pullstart assembly without replacing the crankshaft with one that is built to engage a pullstarter.

I got that information from another guy on here he said it fit his car and i was fixing to buy it but im glad you said that.
