It has more power then the pro .15, but not really any more reliable and easier to tune. It's a RTR engine so it's not the most powerful engine by any means but will be a good basher engine to have though. Thats about all I can really say about them.

it's a great engine... for me at least, pushes my Maxx (9 lbs) around 40 mph, so I can imagine what it would do to a tiny st (4lbs)

They have LOTS of power for a stadium truck! They rev to the moooon. They like to run hot. They are fussy about getting that 'perfect' tune.

Why you go out and buy a new 2.5? You could have traded up pretty cheap []
