i bought a gas 4tec its a roller what would be the best motor 2 put in it?

The O.S. .18TM is a good motor to put in it. It is easy to tune and has plenty of power. Whatever you do do not buy a Traxxas engine. I have not had very good luck with them. But this is just my opinion.

you'll never need nos man. a .18tz will push that car so fast already you'll never be able to control it lol. .18tz in a 4-tec = about 70+ mph

yes it's clearly possible as long as you gear it right. I actually prefer the 50-60mph range. It's fast and controlable. I need to get another onroad lol

Hey....Uh....You do NOT need a .18 in there. Get a decent OS .12 and you're set. No "spray", that bs does not work.

no but you dont need faster, you need to learn how to drive and practice, im sure a .12 will be perfect.
