xtm18- half the price of os, more power than 2.5

I have a 2.5R w/ approx. 8-10 tanks on it if your looking...

yea get a new p/s and rebuild the engine. it is a great engine imo but it could use a better carb. im personally going to rebuild mine then get it modded when i have the cash

I have a 2.5r in my revo, and I keep up with Firesprinks OS.18 He get's about 3 feet on the start, but I stay right on his bumper the whole way...

I'm not saying it's not a good engine, just saying the 2.5 isn't as bad as some people think.

I like the 2.5... I just want a little more. And back to my earlier wuestion about taht motor (that would probably help matt too) what shaft do you need to run it in the revo???

[rocco79]

I asked the guys at Hobby town that very question for you guys. They said SG shaft

[FreeRideFrosty]
