Hi, I am wondering what is an hop-up engine from the .15 rtr engine that comes with the Rc10Gt Well, not quite hop-up but an upgraded engine thats stronger and faster??? What would it be??? Thanks P.S.Will i need modding? How much will they be?

The not so newbie newb,
~Josh~

i put the megatech Q-series 1.6 engine in my rc10gt. i love the engine it is very strong and the price isnt much eaither.

how much faster does it go??? Modding needed?How much $$$?

it seems a lot faster it really works good on grass. it flys tomarrow i am going to run in on the street to see how fast it is i havent run on the street in awhile since i have a new HPI rs4 racer. i love the engine it dose wheelies for me on good days i am trying to figure out the tuning for winter but when i get the proper settings it willl fly.

do you need to modify your truck for it to fit?? How much is it?

maybe im loosing it but that engine looks alot like the DTX .18. is it the same cooling head or am i loosing it?

on whos truck? His right?

umm i think i had to cut the shaft so the flywheel can be screwed all the way down. i took off acouple of threads. and the engine cost around $119
#1 i had to cut threads to make the clutch nut tighten down on the flywheel.
#2 i had to buy a new clutch nut so my clutch bell can go on the engine.
the picture said i had to cut these off but i didnt cut all the threads off i only cut acouple off.

is that hard to do??? its not that hard... right?

its not hard at all. are you talking about my engine if so no i am positive that it is a megatech if you still dont belive me i can post pictures of the box.

does anyone know of a engine to fit an Rc10GT RTR?? Besides speed demon (Not that im outruling the engine you suggested)!

Im just wondering if i can get a bigger engine thats more powerfull and faster! Without any or as little modding as possible!

no. see what happened was i screwed the clutch nut on tightened it down started the engine and gave it throttle and then i looked at the fly wheel and it was loose. i took it off and pulled out the trusty black and decker wizard rotary tool and cut acouple threads off it wasnt hard take off like 1 or 2 threads if it is close dont take a lot off to little it better then to much. it took me 2 or 3 times

any of OS's engines would be a great improvement. a .15 CV-RX would kick arse, if you wanna go gonzo-nutzoid, get an OS .18CVR or .18TZ, but one of those would more than likely eat up your transmission gears.

Just curious, did you take the restrictor out of the carb and re-tune? I did, and mine flies. I have the RR clutch/spur 16/66 combo, and the SS aluminum 4-1 clutch. and it hauls!!

I removed the restrictor from my AE .15 and is runs well and is reliable, but it can't compete with engines designed for racing as the .12 CVR, .12 Picco, or .12 NovaRossi. I leaned mine waaaay out one weekend and it was starting to really run great, but the temp went right up to 280 degrees. I know some would run it that hot, but I prefer to keep it under 250 degrees.

im getting the os 18 cv-rx for christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: D

I'm using theWasp.18 in the GT and it flys, all for under 100. bux drops right in , RED

Hey RED havent heard from you in a while! Say the caar is pretty much stock... How fast does it go?

Hey 02, Ya my PC went south so I picked up a new Dell, so anyway as I was saying the Wasp .18 totally rocks, not sure what the top speed is but I can say that the engine it's self is well built and easy to tune. For the price you cant go wrong. I would suggest that you pull your tranny and install bearings and good diff. balls, replace the brake adapter with a metal one the plastic one wont last long. Get the best drive pins you can find because that engine well spin the heck out of those wheels, Lots of luck buddy, RED

thanks i might get one this christmans... i asked for all cash and giftcards to hub-hobby (my LHS)
