What is the best engine for the revo for the best price? ( ie not the OS30VG )
Best Engine for Revo - Traxxas_Junkee - 11-04-2006
Just leave the 3.3 in there. It's acutally probally a little too much power for the Revo unless you are a hardcore racer and are really good. Other than that just for bashing the 3.3 or 2.5 are fine, pretty reliable too. (or at least the 2.5)

o.s. .18 i hear is really good for racing
Best Engine for Revo - son1cn - 11-05-2006
but how does the os .18 match up to something like the Picco .28 ?

O.s. 18tm
Best Engine for Revo - Michowski - 11-05-2006
3.3 is by far the best motor I ran in my revo. I had both the os .18's, 2.5, 3.3. I would just stick to the 3.3. Its got a whicked power band that cant be beat in the truck.

^ya for about a gallon or so
Best Engine for Revo - Michowski - 11-05-2006
How was your experience with it Mike?
Best Engine for Revo - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 11-05-2006
oh the 15 or so i saw on the grid destroyed after about 2 gallons tops was enough experience for me
Best Engine for Revo - kevinF - 11-05-2006
mine was destroyed in uder 2 gallons also, but they sent me a new one for FREE
Best Engine for Revo - Michowski - 11-05-2006
mines well over 2 gallons and going strong, no play anywere and still tight compression. I dont know why you people cant make a motor last.

I have an AB Modded Stage 2 TRX3.3 in my Revo and it rips hell! It smoked my 2.5R, OS18TM, Modded 2.5R and even will even take my friends revo with an EB Modded 18TZ. I have 2 gallons of Odonells 30% through mine and i can still barely turn it over.

Modded 18TZ, wicked fast.

A .28 in a revo would most likely destroy your drivetrain. Not worth the investment putting any big block in a revo other than the WOW factor.
Best Engine for Revo - Tex - 11-05-2006
3.3 or os18 are the two best choices.......and both of them aren't even that great
Best Engine for Revo - HAGASAN - 11-05-2006
I know Mr tune has a OS in his and that thing is fast as hell, i couldnt believe the speed he had on the back straight.

i can make my motors last long......its just that i got mine when they first came out, so thats prolly why.....so many people had problems when they first came out, maybe theyre great now but they werent at first....... its not that we cant make motors last long
Best Engine for Revo - Mr. Tune - 11-05-2006
Yep. os 18TM. I couldn't believe the speed on the back straight myself!
Best Engine for Revo - rocco79 - 11-05-2006
MIch you dont even HAVE it anymore!
Best Engine for Revo - Tex - 11-05-2006
hopefully he does, I need to use it!
Best Engine for Revo - Michowski - 11-05-2006
I have it and I have an original 3.3 motor. I got mine the second they announced the news about the 3.3. I talked with shivers at traxxas and he managed to keep one set aside for me for a couple days so I had one of the first ones released. Never any problems even with the stock carb.

3.3 modded out!!!
Best Engine for Revo - Michowski - 11-06-2006
no need. Stock 3.3 kept up with bobbo's modded tz at round 1. He couldnt pass me and I couldnt pass him. It was close to an equal match in all rpm ranges. Plus mine was only 130 and his was pushing 300.
Best Engine for Revo - Tex - 11-06-2006
I don't care what happened at round 1, a 3.3 can't hold a candle to a ebtz (I've owned both). Just ask the (3.3) people that were being passed like they were standing still at the fall flameout by me
.of course motors always run their best right before they blow but still....haha
Best Engine for Revo - Michowski - 11-06-2006
I dont care either. Me and him were neck to neck and to me that proves both were near equal. But take in to consideration that a motor doesnt mean anything unless you know how to drive.
