poor judgment according to the dyno result attained from the X-Dyno yes it did edge out the TZ .18!! The TZ puts out a little more torque but the Wasp puts out more horsepower. If you get a chance check out the video on rccaraction under the nitro forum. But I kinda suspect this motor , the Wasp would not like really tall gearing like what we have on our Ct5 and Fusion.
