have any of you guys swapped out your stock motors for anything else yet??whats a good motor for these trucks that wont tear everything apart and do u get a power difference that u can notice.also how big of an engine can we swap in these trucks i saw a couple of stock revo motors and was wondering if they would perform better.

yep did both sets of lower arms swapped to the aluminum,and got all the hubs from an hpi mt2.still working on that no so easy.but i had one of the gears in the trans is spinning on the hub.i took that apart and tried epoxying it but didnt work.so i ordered a new trans and a gear set to fix the old one for a back up
