both those engines will eat your drive train up like the cookie monster eats cookies,and second of all i would just use traxxas service to upgrade to the trx 2.5 for just 50 bucks;)

If they will truly let you swap for 50 bucks that's the way to go. Seriously.

Also on the wasp you can get the os cheaper and it is more powerful.

yeah, i would go with the os, they are about the same, i think the power is awsome, and the os support is very good.

I was talking about the Wasp.

Here's some furhter advice: If you are going New and keeping the p.15 buy the OS... Tower still has them for a steal at 99 bucks... If you can swap your old mill for the 2.5 with 50 bucks I would go that route. The OS will be easier to tune, but both will perform MUCH better than what you have now.

I'd stick with the OS, personally, because I detest the TRX2.5:|
