hi, i have a TNX and my engine is dead, what is a good replacement engine for it with out having to buy a conversion kit?? i was looking at the O.S. .18 TZ engines but they only have rotatery carbs and the tnx has a slide carb, or does it not matter? and would

this carb.- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXGMN8&P=7

work with this engine- http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHLW1&P=ML

would those work good together??

i am some what sure that that would work.. if i remember right #11 is the size ang the g,j ect.. are the type slide rotery , 1 needle or two needle ect ect... but just to make sure goto radiocontrolzone.com goto the nitro monster truck forum and you will see a tnx thread with a crap load of info and they do talk about it in there..

good luck sorry to hear about your engine you might be able to use ur stock carb seeing as o.s. helped build the motor... is ur truck new?? if so i would be callin costomer service.

what manifold and tuned pipe would work best with that OS .18TZ engine?

with the pro line shocks use the hpi rs4 header u should have just enough space.. go to that web site and look on page six of that thread kinda at the top and a guy says how he got the other carb to work and he uses the hpi rs4 manifold..

as far as pipe i dont know...

can u give me the exact web site of the forum?

try this http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/149075.asp this one pushes there 1/10 .18 stadium truck to 50mph.. mine goes 47mph..

or this http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/148020.asp and this is the up grade pipe.. for that truck.

There is also some info on that at http://www.tamiyatrucks.com/

will the OS .18 TZ fit directly in the stock motor mount already on the TNX?

With the tnx being so light an Os 18tm is a perfect mill and it won't eat spurs/ trans gears/cvd's like a tz or midblock 21 + it uses regular glow plugs.

You can't use that engine on the TNX unless you can rig it up to use a bump start. So if you want a .18TZ, you'll need this one

what is a good replacement starter for electric start that was with the stock TNX enigne??

Are you looking for something for the stock engine or a different engine?

the stock engine

OS.18TZ tx is a very good motor for TNX. Too much power that is. The rotary carb that goes with it is a bit pain to tune. You can use the stock or cvrx slide carb, but you need this: http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXHKX2&P=7

You have to glue (CA) it onto the carb's neck and don't forget the black O-ring. No need to install BB because TZ is actually more powerful than OS.21rgxp. It is direct bolt in but you need a mods on the exhaust department.

what exhaust and manifold would be good for it? i heard the RS4 manifold works good.

Yes. I used the Kyosho (a bit expensive) and OS 1040 pipe.

do you know what would be a good replacement starter for the stock engine?

which O-ring are you talking about to use on the OS .18 TZ
