Default I voted no but,

I did that because I think you would take that as a yes for the 2.5! I say yes to a upgrade but, not the 2.5! I have never seen so many complaints about one engine in my life! It over heats,it won't start,it won't stay running,it's carb is hard to adjust,it does not last as long as most if not all other engines and on and on! If I were looking for a new engine and was not going to spend the money on a conversion kit then I would get an O.S. CV-.15 or the Sirio .18! They both are a big step up in power and are much more reliable!

actually get what i got, Epic Side exaust rotary carb engine. .18 with 1.8 HP and its a direct drop in for you. Also look at the orion .18 wasps for the pro .15 tmaxx... they are direct drop ins and will supply more HP and power than the .15 OS.
