Siris TX -18 swap for .15 Tmaxx
Engine is mounted and ready to go just got to figure out some linkage problems. Slide carb conversion is in a tight spot..bellcrank and exhaust want to share the same space
Has anyone accomplished this yet?

Siris TX -18 swap for .15 Tmaxx
I got my tx-18 in my truck today and ran 4 tanks of fuel in it . It just keeps getting faster with every tank. the carb linkage is hard to figure out I had to readjust my servo top and just keep playing with it. to get carb to open and close fully. I had to play with the trim to get it figured out. also play with the springs on linkadge I had to titght it up alittle more than they said on front set screw. but works fine also I drilled my stock pipe. others Ive talked to said big 18 pipe made alot more power I cant wait til tomarrow to lean it out and see what she can really do. I havent got to race my buddies yet I will tomarrow but it seems to have as much power as my 2.5 when it wasway leaned out and Im still at break in settings on top end and bottom end 7 turns out on top is rich motor runs very cool cant wait to heat it up.
