You do relieze that engine is for 1/8 scale buggies right? thats going to be pretty overpowered in a 1/10 stadium truck.

Something like this would be more ideal for a firestorm. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXRUN8&P=0.

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXHLV7&P=ML This engine is a direct fit.(I think)The other engine will need a rotary carb and a big block conversion kit.

Thanks I think this may be more of what I am looking for. And is there really such a thing as being "over powered" lol? Does anybody know what the factory stock motors porduce for power? I was thinking of going with more power and the getting a different clutch bell for a higher top end speed. so the car would be just as peppy down low but really rip at top speed. what do you think?
Thanks
