Which one is better? the Fantom costs less and they say it is as good if not better than the sirio. but more people have the sirio than the fantom. (this is going into a stock 2.5 t-maxx). and after i decide on the engine, i am looking for some kick@$$ exhuast. i want something that has a deep growl and is so loud that i will be banned from the neighborhood. so i am looking at the dual exhaust, but will it increse performance and make it sound more awesome-er? but i am not just looking at dual exhuast, just something that is really loud and looks cool. :rainfro:

pfff, i dont think the fantom is even out yet that would explain a lot

spazzyfry123

both are very good.. hope that wasnt meant to bash fantom.

spazzyfry123

no no no, nothing against fantom. they have won compititions and compititions. i have just never seen one run or anything. just wondering if sirio had something more on them?

spazzyfry123

anything?

remten2001

wut about team orion wasp .18 engine rate at 1.7 hp?

spazzyfry123

ok what i am asking is- what has enough tourque to lift the front wheels of a stock t-maxx but still have good top-end. i want me to just tap the throttle and the fronts are bouncing.(out of these three engines-sirio, fantom, orion)

spazzyfry123

what do the other engines have in hp? sirio and fantom?

I am still waiting on my sirio to get here(should be here by Friday) but I know what exhaust I am getting. The Custom side pipe .
Go to rchub.com and they have a video with sound, see if it is loud enough for you.
Mabey not to loud but it will sure attrack eyes.

i have also been checking out the o.s. cv hyper. but what is the hp? it says .68 ps or something like that link to towerhobbies- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPV46&P=0 but what is better? high rpms or lower? this has 10,000 less rpms than the fantom for top-end. i was looking at this because it has the same mounting measurements as the 2.5 and thats what i got. maybe ill sell the 2.5 or something. any offers?

flatlander_14

the fantom and the sirio have the same mounts as the 2.5 as well. less rpm = lower top speed.

I would also like some info on the fantom but i think the sirio has 3 hp thats what towerhobbies says.

i decided to be different. I ordered the Orion .18 Wasp from my LHS

spazzyfry123

where on towerhobbies does it say that it has 3 hp? i think its like 3 cc's or something like that. but the hp is 1.9.

but back to the o.s. hyper- what is .68 ps? thats what o.s. gives for its power output. dont know what that is?

spazzyfry123

on a stock t-maxx 2.5, just guessing how much top-speed will i have with the o.s.? cause i dont want to buy this engine and have my friend witha regular pro .15 kick my butt!

spazzyfry123

ok i think ive decided to be different also:bananahea than this thread. im sure other people have done the same, but i think im goin for the racers edge .21 conversion and an xtm 24.7. think its a good idea? :rainfro: but i dont think that will have good top-end am i right? cause like someone said ( ) low rpms=low topend. so this thing is gonna have what, 30 mph for tops? and this has like 25,000. ok i know im just pissing yall off me mixing everything up like this, but now im looking at a .21 engine with great torque for wheelies and good topend for drag-racing. ive got the .21 conversion i want (racers edge). so now i need input for a .21

spazzyfry123

or would it be worth buying the ofna hyper .21 8 port?

I bought the EPIC .18 engine for my Terra Crusher and the engine KICKS *****!! I have had it for a week know and it is very easy to tune and keep running. It out runs my friends Terra Crusher with a .15 CV-RX engine with no problem, and my other friends Terra Crusher with a Fantom 03 .15 engine. It also keeps up pretty well with my other friend Terra Crusher with an OFAN Hyper .21 engine. The cheapest place to buy it is: https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/c...t.pl?pn=EP1800 or https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/c...t.pl?pn=EP1801 I bought the one with the rotary carb.

spazzyfry123

ok i think ive given up on the .21 and 24.7 idea. after i get everything (engine, conversion, gears, etc.) the toatl cost will be like $500. too much! so back to this thread. what engine is the best for a stock 2.5 maxx? (i need a direct replacement) and that o.s. .15 hyper has same mounting holes, so im also taking a peek at that, but i have no clue as to what .68 ps is, how many horsies is that?

Hey ken, jus thought id tell you what i decided to do. Since all these .18's run 150-200$ for a good one, i figured i might as well get a big block conversion. I'm going to get the kippster conversion and the Team Orion wasp .26 for massive power and speed. this thing is going to FLY when im done. I'll have both of these in the next month also so its going to be great.

I think .68 is how much hp it puts out. I have the Sirio .18 and it is awsome I have the Sirio big Bore Pipe with it it helps a pretty lot to. It also makes it louder I think. It puts out 1.9 hp and 40,000 rpm's wich is alot. The Phantom will probably put out less hp but more rpm's the Phantom pipe looks like the Sirio one to me. The Orion .18 should be pretty good but I would think the Sirio would be a little better. The Epic .18 I think is just for the old T-maxx but I am pretty sure it puts out 1.8 hp but is the same price as the Sirio. I would get the Sirio .18 because it puts out more hp than alot of big blocks. I heard that Sirio has bad customer service.

weoll i decided jus to go with a conversion kit and get this thing to fly instead of stay below 40 mph. read my sig, going to drop a .26 wasp in it instead.
