hi, im wondering what kind of work would be involved in fitting a .21 engine in the firestorm? ive seen people do it to 1/10 on road cars.
Hey man I have a .21 on my storm and you will need big block mount the smallest 3 shoe flywheel you can get and I am running a 22t axial cb and a 34t revo spur gear. I highly recommend getting the vented graphite brake disk for a jato. You wont be able to stop after 1/3 tank if you dont. pipe and header. The weight difference is minimal and power difference is unreal. There isn't another nitro truck that will ever come close to beating you. I dont Know anybody with a road car but a my brothers Jato is glad it dont have doors if you know what i mean. Oh and the only part I have broke is nothing after about a gallon.
