its a direct dropin where as the 2.5 or 3.3 need a new header and throttle linkage
this one just drops right in

RE: rustler
 

I'd say 3.3. I know one that has it in his rustler and that thing hauls butt!!!:D:D

RE: rustler
 

I've got a 3.3 in my rustler. Over powered but alot of fun.

RE: rustler
 

On my old Rustler I had an OS .15 CV-X It was a great motor for bashing, started on the first couple pulls every time and held a tune very easily.

I had to do some cutting to get everything to mount up smoothly, however, I do have pictures of the install and all the things I cut to make the motor fit.

i dont think that i want traxxas, i was thinking .18 tz

RE: rustler
 

the os .18tz is a good choice. My friend has one it his tmaxx and loves it.

RE: rustler
 

Bashing or racen? Bashing, the .18 will work, but racen youll need a .12, then get the .12tz or the rb v 12.

well i just mess around. i made the truck onroad because i just have street slicks. i want to have a lot of power and speed and i heard TZ was the way to go. what else would i need to run it with the TZ?

RE: rustler
 

is it a rustler , or a rustler 2.5. if its a rustler 2.5 all you need is the motor, and a new rear exhaust header.get the pilot shaft version. unless you have a starterbox, you will need the traxxas clutch nut 4144 http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXJF69&P=M . try getting the slide carb if its a 2.5 or a rotary if its a pro .15. goodluck.

RE: rustler
 

no i had a 2.5 but it died. so i will just need the header. which one will i need? also the clutch assembly is the same? anything i should beef up? thanx

RE: rustler
 

If you want speed better go with a 3.3 it will out run a TZ18

RE: rustler
 

naa, like i said i want to steer away from traxxas. i want to try something new:D that should be pleny fast and its inexpensive
