Yup, you'd be eating gears, and drivetrain with the .21. I was gonna do the same for my T-Maxx, but i would've spent over $300.00 in additinal parts aside from buying the .21. The people I was talking to said that (for my truck anyway) it was too much power, it would be really hard to control, and would flip over very easily by ripping open the throtle. I will probably go with a pico or something exotic, but stay within the .15. I'll let you know how my conversion goes, I think with the new engine and my CVEC pipe, that will be enough grunt for my truck! -- R/C Car Nitro and Electric Forum

RC, I would suggest the O.S. .15 CV-R first, and the Trinity Picco .15 (TP135 or TP136) second. They are both excellent engines, and, with approximately 1.3 horsepower, will give your MT more than enough horsepower and reliability. The only reason I said the O.S. is first choice is that a lot of people race that motor, and hence it is fairly well proven in "extreme-use" conditions. Both of these engines have very positive reviews. (NT) -- Erwin8r in Los Angeles, 09:27:28 03/12/02 Tue

the os shows no pull start version available. is it possible to retrofit one from a regular cv? I like the fact that i don't have to cut the shaft. (NT) -- RCwhat, 10:41:59 03/12/02 Tue
