Here is what I know about it so far:

It comes with a huge cooling head. Four massive tires, an extended chassis, and an engine mount. It is supposed to be a complete replacement kit. The engine is a type of airplane engine and is full of torque. My source was at a trial test not to long ago and said it was full of torque. This set up is not actually made for speed. Its made for the rugged dirt and major back yard cliff climbing mud slinging weekend warrior truck running!!

That looks sweet. That will have to rip if you can get a tranny to hold up. But personally I am waiting for the Briggs and Stratton conversion lol. Kolher would not be bad either.

do you have anymore info on what company makes it, what it is made for, hp, rpm, etc. but man that sounds awesome!!! if you could give a link or something that would be great!

The torque would be cool, but most airplane motors of this displacement turn in the 15-20k range tops, unless you're talking pylon racing motors, and they're damn expensive and really only run well WOT. HP? typically ~1.5 - 2. This probably isn't going to be the "next best thing".

500$ dollars for a conversion kit is way too expensive...your better off buying an ek4 for that kind of money....

and from my experience with the savage this conversion will just turn the savage into a money pit....

YOU WOULD PROBABLY BRAKE THE DRIVE TRAIN IN TWO.

i upgraded my thunder king to trx 16.0 power. look on my site, project big-k. my next project is a custom 4wd straight axle with a 2hp B&S motor. i have these 2 axles that come from self propelled lawn mowers. problem on both of these trucks in no body fits.

i have the same problem with mine... i run a 25cc weedeater engine on a double deck platform i am 18.5 in wide and 19.25 c to c long. it has 4 wheel steering, 4wd, remote starting and on the fly variable ratio shifting in forward or reverse. http://community.webshots.com/user/acmeworks

The average 40-46 size airplane engine winds up around 12-15000 RPM On a tuned pipe maybe 16-17000 RPM. I don't think the .46 kit comprises of an airplane engine. It would more probably be a ducted fan jet or helicopter engine which will run at around 30-40000 RPM depending on steup. If it is it will have both torque and speed. Now with the gear ratio of the MT I am not sure if it will deliver both or one. I am into Giant Scale Airplanes and was thinking of putting a .46 chopper engine in my T-MAXX. I just got the MAXX 1 1/2 weeks old so have not blasted this engine as yet, so I have not started looking at the possibilities of using a ducted fan jet or chopper engine as yet. I will do some reaserch and would let you guys know.

Ducted fan motors only run in the mid 20K range. They're also finicky and require massive amounts of cooling and a helluva tuned pipe. Heli's are about 17 - 18,000. 30 - 40,000 from a 46 ain't doable.

A 46 won't wind up to 30k but a 60 might. That however will be an over kill. DF engines are tough to deal with and have more wear than a heli engine. In my post I did mention I was thinking of putting a .46 Thunder Tiger heil engine on my MAXX. I have the engine in my Century Falcon 46 chopper.
