genesis engine change
 

hi all i was thinking about changing my genesis engine has any one got any suggestions thanks

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!!!!!!

RE: genesis engine change
 

are those big enough for the genesis and are they easy to tune

RE: genesis engine change
 

Yes sir they are, a mach 427 was put into a GSR5.0 and you couldn't keep the front wheels on the ground,

RE: genesis engine change
 

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

RE: genesis engine change
 

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.

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!

I think the dearing and torque have alot to do with over coming that problem, all I can tell you is I seen it with my own eyes, and was just a suprised!

RE: genesis engine change
 

how much are these engines i have looked on ebay and they look cheap enough or are them ones just cheap copys

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
 

yeah watched a savage on youtube with one in it. thinking about ordering one from the us seems to be cheaper unless you know anywere in the uk

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
 

In UK no Iam sorry I don't lol but you can go to FLYSKY.com and look at their motors, I think you'll like their prices!

RE: genesis engine change
 

Yeah thats what I was telling everyone but I guess they didn't believe me, so I wonder what they think about my suggestion now lol!!!!

RE: genesis engine change
 

I want to see some video of the truck turbo6..nice work

RE: genesis engine change
 

You like that huh! lol thanks! I see if I can get you a Vid.

RE: genesis engine change
 

been looking at the above engines they look pretty good will i need to buy new clutch bell ,clutch , flywheel for those engines or will the cen ones fit

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.

RE: genesis engine change
 

thanks for that just need to find 1 now

RE: genesis engine change
 

Your welcome.
