Not sure but I have tried aluminum wheels on other vehicles years ago and they do not work well particularly for off road. But thanks for the thought.

according to tower hobbies the .12s on has .55 hp which sound like it would be a downgrade from the t-15 [link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXUH46&P=7[/link]

As far as another engine you just cannot beat the CV-RX for good power but not to much, easy to tune, holds a tune, durability and user friendly. Yes there are other things out there but most will not give you all the above like the CV-RX for the money.

I clean and service mine after each day of running. Then about every 3 months I take them apart to do a detailed service and cleaning. Every one at the track and on the forums wonder why mine hold up so well because I do keep them maintained. I even discharge the receiver packs at the end of the day and I have CHEAP receiver packs that are over 4 years old. Good maintenance and keeping them clean is very important to have healthy truck!

Consider yourself very lucky. I know when I first started running the MT1 and MT2 I coundn't get more then 2 tanks of run time before I had to replace the gears, and even less time before I had to replace or fix the plastic knuckles. I do drive hard just read my signature.

Its letting in air all the time, Must be the primer? when I'm running my car i can see air in the pipe and it does less than half a tank and then cuts out [>:] i cannot wait until my hobby shop has some more in this week
