IMHO the OS TM .18 is the way to go. I had the RB .23 323 and it had a ton of power but, was a pain to tune. My brother has the OS in his Revo and it runs great without tunning issues.

I want one of these engines too and was told that the 18TM is the way to go. I don't know why but the TM seems a little "small" to me. I'd like an engine that gives the MAXX a nice acceleration and speed. The TRX 2.5 I have now gets boring after some time. The TM will give me the same feeling?
