Stock they are not really powerful, but with some work they rip. Rock solid reliable engine, easy to tune, holds a tune forever.

A good racing engine stadium trucks IMHO. Not too much power so you can control wheelspin and fast enough to win.

there are two items with these engines that make them great, the O, and the S.


but seriously, i have the 15 cv and love it, i also have the 18 cvr and its way more power, but not faster on the track.


i would buy one.

It's a good engine, when I had mine (when I was racing ) it was easy to tune and reliable. Not the most powerful engine on the market but enough to have you up front and to win.

The .18 is higher in both output and RPM range.

Depends, what do you mean by faster? RPM or vehicle speed. Also how is it used, on a road or on a dirt track?

the 12cv probably isnt more powerful than the stock motor, but a TZ sure will be.

Good choice...for $80 the .12CV-r can't be beat.
