Default RE: CHEAP but GREAT motors for my Jato


ORIGINAL: PeeBeMe

Hi guys ! I know I know about the os18/os21 tm/tz engines they have for the jato BUT are there any other great motors out there that's better then this traxxas 3.3 motor ?
It doesn't have to be a big block BUT something that's WAY better then stock.
Im looking for motor's that will drop right in, could you name some please.
Dynamite .19T. Truly, its the same displacement as the 3.3 Traxxas engine. I timed my 3.3 engine and measured compression ratios. Dynamite/Mach engines are known to be excellent tuners and runners.

I've always liked my Traxxas 3.3's. The carbs arent the greatest but my engines have always ran really well. Finicky with glow plugs and certain fuels though. I run hot plugs, homemade 20% nitro/12% castor and they run great.
