I want a new engine for my RC10GT and don't know what to get. The only problem is that i can only spend about $160. Thanks for the input.

Didn't you already post a topic about this? Get the OS .12. Awsome!!!!! I have never seen anything like this. I am a newbie in the nitro world. It is SOOOO fast I LOVE it. Good luck!

Cheap, reliable engine...Dynamite 12SPD. Attack sleeve with dremel to boost perfomance.

do a search on the dynamite engines, there is a very mixed review of them..

the OS .12 CV-R absolutely rules!!! it is a very powerful and quick engine and the price tag is only 125 bucks..

.12CVR. end of story.

The team orion wasp .18 will blow the os out the water all day. I know I have 3 of the os .12 and my wasp is great that's why the other 3 are just sittin for my next project

85...yeah...but your 18 probably also eats up idler gears

Or if you want to go a bit further, get some taller gearing, tougher drivetrain parts and stick a O.S .18 CVR-X in it.

yah get the o.s. .18 it rocks get all of this though, but make sure if u race your track will let you race a .18

alminum cluth shoes 18.99
diff gers steel 12.99
steel idler 16.99
o.s. .18 99.99

total 148.96


here are some pics of my gt with a o.s. .18

12 cv-r no contest.

the 18CVR is indeed a badass engine, but if you've ever owned a .12CVR powered RC10GT, you'll KNOW you dont need to go up to the 18. my GT (sold, a couple months ago, regret it too) topped out around 40 (plenty for any stadium truck), wheelied on command, and sipped fuel compared to the .18, like a Corolla does compared to a Viper.

trust me...the 18 might be cheaper to buy, but getting the clutch to make it hook, and the gears for the transmission to keep it running after Wide open throttle applications...you'll spend $250 on putting the engine in.
