If it's anything like the 18tm (which it's just a bigger version) it should be a great engine. I love my 18tm and will get a 21tm when it's time to upgrade again.

it will bolt strait in to the stock engine mount, and if it is anything like the .18 tm, it will become the new easy engine, the .18 is currently one of the best engines for a revo simply because it's so easy to tune and is so reliable, hopefully it's big brother follows in it's footsteps.

daveo is in Australia so he can get it for the retail price, hobby shops carry the O.S .21 TM over here, they wont in the states until sometime in the next few months, they're about $300 over here, or less depending where you go, and the .18 was on par with the 3.3, so it's pretty safe to assume the .21 will outdo it.

You wont see it on the OS web site until its "official" release in the US. Tower says it wont be in stock until late September, which most likely means early to mid October. Once it is in stock and ready for sale you will most likely see it listed on the OS web page. It is a straight bolt on to the Revo and T-Maxx. I have the OS .18 TM in my Revo right now, it has more bottom and mid power than the 3.3, but top end is almost identical between the 18TM and the 3.3. With that said, the 21TM should by all rights beat both the 18TM and the 3.3 quite nicely. I know they have been running the 21TM overseas all summer and I hear is good reports on it. Once it is released its going to be THE engine to get if you own a Revo or T-Maxx.
