I am very happy with my 3.3 I have found it holds a tune much better than any 2.5 I have had. But it is still a touch motor. You have to make your adjustments very small compared to other motors. That is why some people just don't like them.
For the money the 3.3 is the way to go in my book...for a bashing motor.

For racing I use a RB V.12

I've been ion the hobby for 7 years(since i was 5 i had a e rustler) for you just stick with stock. I dont think you know really how powerful the TRX2.5 is. Plus the OS requires ALOT of mods.

I want to upgrade mine for the trx 3.3, but later on... I'm having fun w/ the trx 2.5 for now... The 3.3 has 50% more power that the 2.5...

hey clavin, you want my pro .15 too, i dont want it, it has good compression and all but the ez-start was taken off so it needs a pull start. i was thinking of just throwing it in with the truck. also, is the jatoa pull start or ez-start?
