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
Matt... I will be running that motor shortly.I plan on ordering one off of ebay within the next 2 weeks for $60.
Which shaft do I need... the standard or sg one???

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...
That xtm is supposed to be a good cheap motor!
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???
I asked the guys at Hobby town that very question for you guys. They said SG shaft
Thanks... I should be visiting ebay in the near future. Will it drop right in or do we need a different mount??
Hey man do your own leg work! LOL!!!!
LoL... You are the one who told me about the one in the revo. I figured that maybe you knew offhand. Granted I could machine one but I was j/w...
i would think since its a small block it would bolt right up. Im assuming
I had thought too... I just didn't know if it would be like a picco midblock that requires a different mount...
xtm should bolt right up.
Nice.
Anyone know what ryan ordered?? Did he decide for sure on the stock 2.5r??
stock 2.5 for sure. That motor is the shizzle.
I am actually quite pleased with it. If I were going to stay with the 2.5r I would probably get the OS carb for it. Supposedly makes a big difference. Anyone know how the XTM carb is??
Its a rotary carb... I know not the quite as nice as a slide. But alot of people have seemed to be going back to them lately
Yeah... I think it makes the throttle a little less smooth because the opening gets bigger but not evenly bigger. (If that makes sense) I am going to do some looking still though as I am not limited by EZ Start ot PS any more. (modded my box hehe... see pics in the pic thread)
