What size engine are you looking for?? You could look and see if the new HPI 4.6 engine would fit. Also check out O.S.

hhhmmmmm.....that seems to be my answer for almost every engine replacement. O.S.!!

Since SpeedAddict didnt give you a model, I'm going to get an OS .18 CV-RX(s) for my t-maxx, and there is also a verson that fits the MT2, the . The 4.6 is way to big for an MT2 unless you get aluminum everything, so it doesnt break everything on a crash. (you would also need to get a big block upgrade kit.)

Looks like a great motor for a great price. about 100 on ebay, 110 at tower.

That's Why I didn't mention a specific O.S. model. I don't know what engines would fit and what the specs are on that truck, but O.S. works for just about anything. [8D]

If the O.S .18cvr will fit with out a lot of modding that would be a great choice. The O.S .18cvr has a ton of torque for a st and has some good HP. The O.S cvr also has a smooth powerband. It doesnt jump all over the place like some other engine do with there powerband's. The engine is also very reliable and is very easy to tune and holds a tune. For a st you can set the engine up to run rich and will still have enough power to easily make the wheels spin. Or you can lean on it and get those extra rpm's and the extra power that comes with it. But rear tires do go fast as there is a lot of spinning of them.


Or the .12 cvr can be a good replacement to. It does not have torque that the .18 cvr has but does come close to matching it in hp thought. There are other engine companies out there but O.S is the best in my eye's.
