I have close to a gallon of fuel thru it. It has a .26 Mach engine the same as a Losi LST. New Era's kit will not fit so I made My own. The only real part I'm concerned with is the slipper clutch. But so far so Good.

They want me to send the whole Diff. in so they can analyze them. Or they might want the whole truck. Just dont have time.. Workin 12 hour nights till saturday. so i get home at 7 in the morning and pass out. Did you puit the part in?? If so what was the part that went out on yours?? Pinion gear??

3 more tanks and no other problems! I'm really suprised The Revo has held up so well , Especially with this size engine. I have a.27 Sciro that has been ported to 4. Hp that is going into another Revo I just bought to see if I have the same luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

The Revo was designed to handle those engines with very few problems. You should be able to run that thing with a big block with no probledm!

What comes with the truck ? A .15 right? So i guess the .27 Sciro Is almost double the stock motor? How does your revo run?

The Sciro.27 Pro makes 3.1 out of the box . Theres a company in N.C. that will port them they claim to just over 4 HP . I'm waiting on the engine to finish the conversion. I have 3 revo's now 1 stock and one with the Mach .26 and a 3rd waiting for the .27. The Mach .26 is the same configuration as the .27 The new era kit will not fit this application.But it does fit some others.

Keep us updated on your new motor. If it halls balls i might want to talk with you so i can get one as well. How much of a difference do you think it will make? How much is the motor?
