RE: engine question

The Fantom FR18 is a direct fit. It's a pretty nasty little motor. Had no troubles with mine and i've run over two gallons.

RE: Thinking of buying a TNX

There is no FRAT in the TNX. The FRAT is from the Terra Crusher which stands for Forward Reverse Automatic Transmission. The TNX has no reverse.

I'm currently in the same situation as you. I've seen both of them run against each other. The TNX has more punch off the line. But the Revo starts to creep up on the TNX at full throttle. (The 2.5...
