Default Direct drop in engine for Jato

I just picked up a JAto 2.5 in great condition from Ebay for real cheap. I want to know what other motors will drop right in. I already have a 3.3 Jato but may want to make a racer out of the 2.5. Should I keep the trx 2.5 engine or is there another .15 size motor with more power than the 2.5.

why not step it up a notch, and get a .18? Id reccomend the .18tz because of its incredible power.

I already have a 3.3 and its crazy enough as it is. Will the tz drop right in? Maybe I will sell teh 3.3 motor and get a tz.

Like I said I dont think I need more power. Its a beast as it is on the track. I dont want to go bigger than an .18.
