RE: genesis engine change
Ghanging it from your Genesis? Yeah replace it with a Dynamite .28 (BigRed) and it will be a world of difference, or a Mach 427, or a losi 454!!!!!!

A GSR5.0 is the same type truck as the Genesis, Nemsis, etc.

With a LOT lighter drive train, ie plastic driveshafts ect... So he Genesis/GST will be a touch sluggish with the 427 but it should still be pretty peppy, just not sold on the Genesis/GST and 427 combo being able to wheely too much.

RE: genesis engine change
It your choice I would personly put a LPR or Dynamite BigRed .28 try it! It will speak off its self! I own a RC REpair and experiment all the time and fabricate all the time for over 24 yrs now but thats just me, you'll have to experiment on your own!

RE: genesis engine change
Yeah I know they are what they call affordable engines , but they run their ass off! they are strong , buy one break it in and just try it, can hurt! I have ran them in Monsters and on track! watch them on youtube to get a idea.

RE: genesis engine change
One of my Genesis/Nemesis has an Axial 32RR and the other has a Losi 454.The Losi 454 is the more fun of the 2 trucks.If tuned right it will carry wheelies and flip on its back from a dead stop kick.

RE: genesis engine change
They'll fit the only thing you might have to change is the brass hub the flywheel tightens on "but" I doupt it! the motor mount might need to be changed !? I know on the 8.0's they do.
