Best Engine for Revo - Michowski - 11-06-2006
Mine was stock geared. Not sure about his.

thats why you cut the hell out of the 3.3, traxxas doesnt balance the motor that well+ they leave a ton of unfinished edges, ect

Best Engine for Revo - Obsessive R/C - 12-31-2006
I had a Sirio .23 in my Revo & I would agree (along with others) they are stupid fast...too fast really (for racing anyway)

Really Muggy.....
For racing I really don't see a need for anything more than the stock motor. runs great, plenty of power. If more power was needed then I would say go with the OS .18 TM. Unless you are bashing no more power is needed IMO.

Best Engine for Revo - Obsessive R/C - 01-01-2007
lol... I learned that right away w/ my CF Revo...way overpowered, short wheelbase & too light....not exactly the idea race set up. :p:
Best Engine for Revo - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 01-01-2007

Best Engine for Revo - Obsessive R/C - 01-01-2007

Not just your opinion.... many of us watching too. It really pulls down the straight. The OS .18 really make those things come to life. Like I said.... I don't really think anything over stock is NEEDED but the OS 18 is sure a nice option.

and to think my os18 is coming this week for my truck

Haha. That's a nice motor. Take your time breaking it in and make sure you do it right. If need be get help doing it so it gets done right and it will last you quite a few gallons.

Hopefully it's in good shape. When you get it, before you run it AT ALL, take the head off and take a look at the top of the piston. Look for any signs of running lean or and fragments in the motor. Take a picture if you have any doubt.
Best Engine for Revo - xxxnt with trx 2.5 - 01-01-2007
what does a lean engine look like on the inside

Tune and I, as well as a few other people that were standing there. I think Rocco maybe, not sure. The truck looks good though. We like seeing how Tune's old truck is being treated. LoL
