never had that particular engine, but i can say that rb engines rock so it should be a good engine probably way to much for a revo though.

I have a Sirio .23 which is a very similar engine and it is awsome...do a heat cycle break in and you'll love it.

I saw one guy running it at LHR. Can't recall if it was real fast or not.

yep they are fast, they don't seem to be the longest lasting engine though.....oh and BTW it's not really an RB motor, it's a asian motor rebadged "RB"

i have an rb that has over 10 gallons on it and can still pull on new rossi engines i guess it must be the batch you get but i think rb are made by nova rossi and they have the same bearings and everything, but my only experience is with the .21 engines dont know to much about the others, if it is asian rebadge ya it might not last that long.

I think the TM323 are manufactured by the same company that makes the Sirio .23 (everything seems to interchange on these two particular engines) I'm not saying it's made by Sirio but its not your usual Novarossi / RB engine

ya probably is made by sirio lol but if it is reworked by rb might be better than the sirio version, but even still thats a lot of engine for a revo. unless maybe you get the center diff rear brake combo.

I don't think the sirio is made by sirio, I can't prove that though.

They claim 3.0+ for the Sirio...and RB never states HP numbers (advertised numbers don't mean much anyway)

thanks for your imput on it. i started it up on sunday wow it was much louder than the stock 2.5 that comes with the revo. i was comparing the heads of the 2 engines wow big difference. i still have to break it in. I'm doing it the way traxxas tells you to. The manufactor sayes to do it that way as well. i guess its a run off of the heat meathod. this is my first aftermarket engine. i guess i just want to take it slow and make sure its done right so it will last longer.

If you want to do it right and make it last longr do the heat cycle method... not the traxxas method IMO.
