Engine:........OS .18TM
Truck: ..........Traxxas Revo
Fuel: ............30% Odonnel
Pipe:.............Stock Revo
Glow Plug: ...OD99
Run time: ......8 1/2 - 9 < weather conditions vary
My Review:....Great motor when break-in is done. Found the motor to really wake up at the gallon mark.
Plenty of power for the revo. Nice feature is the spring held exhaust header. 2.5R owners know what I'm talking about. Rather disappointed with the life of this motor. First one lasted 3 gallon before rear bearing took a dump. Have heard other concerns about excessive play in the conrod after 1 gallon mark and numerous complaints about thermal seals cracking and rear bearings failures. Overall this is a great drop-in for the Revo or Maxx trucks Good low-end and top-end on the motor.
