TRX 3.3 or OS.18tz

DONT get the 3.3...cant hold a tune for shizzle.......get an OS .18tz

RE: engine for jato?
 

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 have the 3.3 on my jato and it hauls, eats alot of tires too:D

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...

what do you need to do to get the os .18tx in it. is it a drop in or do you need to buy a miunt, drill holes and stuff? so what do you need to do to get the os in?

Just thought I would Throw this in. for you the 2.5R in the Jato you are talking about
Is reworked it has been Turboed , and runs better and faster then a stock 2.5r
it is also set up for Bump start .

RE: engine for jato?
 

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?
