Most people are putting the OS 18 in this truck or a big block. TRX engine have gained a bad rep so people replace them with others. I myself don't mind the TRX engines. I have the 2.5r in mhy 2.5 revo and in my t-maxx. I am however planning on building a 3.3 REVO and dropping a big block in it.

The OS.18 TM is a great motor for the revo, its not too powerful, but its definatly got the power to win. Combine the OS with a center diff, and you have a great set-up!!!

The TM is faster than the 3.3. It's also easier to tune, has more torque and will last longer than 2 gallons.
