Looking to drop one in a xxx-nt. Doesn't have to be the BEST, just looking for value on the $$. I don't want to spend over $125. Can be a .12 or .15

Thanks

2.5R is a great litte motor. Plus it pretty chep

go with something thats nmore reliable like a oscvr 12 or 15 thwy also have an 18 that will work as well but make sure u upgrade drive train for that

The shaft on that (2.5) isn't compatible with the xxx-nt is it??

losi45067, that's exactly what I was looking at (.12 oscvr)!! Didn't know if there were any sleepers out there. Are the force .12 or HPI .12 any good? They are cheaper, but I know you get what you pay for sometimes. [:'(]

to be honest why dont u just go with a 15 dynamite motor thats what the rtr comes with or you could find a team asociated on ebay fairly cheap thos are great motors as well

If you want more performance and reliability you cant get and O.S. .18 CV-RX for around $109.99

stick with os engines. the trx 2.5 is ok, but it can get realy pickey with the tuning. os isnt that way.

if you want acceleration, more race orented go with the os http://www.osengines.com/engines/osmg2045.html, there goin for about 120 to 130 depending on what carb u want

i would go with that engine, it has alot of kick for a .12 at a reasonable price range. it gives out 1.0 hp

I've been running a OS .12 cv-r and it's been a durable little engine. If I get my new race engine It will go for sale though.

duh he has like 60 post and he owns a traxxas and thinks its the s#!t, trx 2.5 blows and is way over priced when you could get a o.s. for cheaper and there 100 times better

OS engines are "slow", but they live forever. I've got one... but I dont speak highly of it, but hell, its one of the strongest .18s on the market.

my dynamite .12 spd woops on my friends picco. that is the best bang for your buck. easy to tune and speeds of around 40. nice engine

GTdirtracer

speeds of 40.... all cars have diff speed capabilitys and piccos are way better than dynamite, mayby his is old or he broke it in wrong,or your just a better tuner than him but piccos are a great motor, and you can find them for cheat
