This just came to mind so thought i would share and maybe start some good discussion! I hear people saying that the dtx.18 in the evader is weaker then most .12s out there. Why would duratrax put in a .18 that is soo weak? Why bother? Most places dont let .18s in officical races, so why did they do it? is it really that weak? mine seems to run really strong? whats your take on it?
I don't understand why duratrax doesn't post the spec's on the engine. From what I have been able to figure out it seem's the .18 has a little less hp's than my O.S. .12. My .12 has 1hp, so I would guess the .18 is around .8hp, which if you stand back and look at other rtr engines such as the .12's & the .15's they can run from .40hp - .75hp. I haven't heard many people calling that engine weak, at least not by RTR standard's.
