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

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..... Rolleyes

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.

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.

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.

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
