Default neubie need engine size explanations

With respect to traxxas calling the new engine a 2.5, their previous generation engine (which they still sell) was called the traxxas .15 pro. In my opinion, they used it to differentiate between the two.
Just as I stated in my post....the statement above, was "a .15
traxxas just used that number to make it sound big. dont get it."

Whatever their marketing technique is, so be it....but it was called the TRX 2.5, more than likely to differentiate it from being the original TRX .15, which there is a HUGE difference between the 2 motors. I don't think it was a tactic or a ploy, to confuse the consumer....but the fact is, it is a VERY POWERFUL .15 motor anyway, much more than the majority of .15's out there.
