Default Help me choose a new truck!!!

There are more Revos at my local tracks than anything but 1/8th & 1/10th monster trucks run in the same class so the Losi LST & Associated Monster GT are the domanant trucks in the winner circle.

I'm guessing the added displacement (.26 vs .15) is the deciding factor as much as anything else.

My question is even though the 1/8 scale trucks have more power from thier big blocks would adding an OS .18 TZ make the Revo as fast or faster than the 1/8th trucks??
The OS I'm thinking about has 2.3 HP, the same or more than the big block trucks do, since the Revo is lighter & has better suspension, the addition of the OS should put the Revo back on top.

It's got a lot of power for $179!!

What do you think???
