so say if that was a buggy motor, thats about 300 tanks of fuel, @ about 10 minutes a piece. Thats about 50 total hours of run time. I'd say that's pretty good.

ya its definetly getting ur moneys worth; thats why i tell guys to go with a little more expensive motor, you will rarely see that much fuel in a cheapie ofna motor

I don't like to chince on stuff, but I've never had bad luck with my Traxxas motors so far, and they run great for my needs. So I say, why not. lol

they aren't bad motors but ive seen alot of crap ones. not as many good options for the displacment the smaller trucks need. there are a ton of good .12's but the .18's that are out there now arent the greatest

After my .15 died I opted for the .20, I plan on snagging a BB for the outdoor track eventually...but Chances are that won't be until next season. (I run a revo)

well from what ive seen the BB in the revos are more trouble than they are worth

I've heard the same thing, but I was thinking a low end 21 will get the job done.

i had the axial .28 in mine, it took a few hours to get eh throttle linkage set up, installing the motor takes a few minutes, its the throttle linkage that needs messing with.

for bashing the BB is great, for racing i would not switch to a BB, if you want to go faster get a O.S .18 TZ or TM, or get the EB modded TZ, either of those engines will be faster then the 3.3 is.

yeah I know but I liked the speed the 3.3 Offered for my budget.

Only reason I was gonna up to big block is for the heck of it. I wouldnt want a big huge .28 I'd just opt for a nice OS .21. I got the center diff and brakes and all of that so I don't think I would wheely everywhere.

well from all the guys like tex that put HIGH END .21's in revos they just tore up spur gears and drivetrain parts at the track. I dont think a plastic drivetrain can handle that much power, but if you did go with a center diff it may work

Mike...From what I've seen the plastic in revos holds up fine (transmission) it was some pin that kept snapping.

maybe im just thinking of bobbo's revo shearing spur gears every 2 tanks lol

Shearing Spur gears is alot better than Shearing your transmission.

I think the tranny can handle it. Make sure the slipper isnt too tight and don't land on throttle and I think it would be okay. Lol

as long as you uypgrade to FOC and center diff your tranny will be just fine. the reason is the FOC and center diff are stronger gears plus the center diff keeps teh jarring down on the tranny

i used a plastic spur gear on my BB and never once stripped it out, still looked great when i got rid of the revo

Yeah I've never damage a spur gear ever...the Reverse was out of my trans in about a week after I got it. It's quite sturdy. Its prolly got 5 gallons on the truck as a whole, and the gears are still in perfect condition.
