"No mods necessary" - Just completely destroy your drive train before breakin is even finished, lol!!

None taken Sav, I just saw OFNA had a bunch of stuff on its site and none of it was here.

Ya...my shop just got them earlier this week. They look like they should be pretty good. We've sold a few already I believe...one that I know of, but I have yet to hear back on it. The big block Picco .26's were exceptional engines, so I expect these will be as well.

[ragamuffin]

I certainly hope that the QC is better than the Max .21 that it replaced. My got not even 3 gallons before the pinch was gone and performance went into the toilet. Needless to say it was promptly replaced by an OS TM that outperforms it in every way...

[nitro_newbie]

how much is this motor selling for this thing looks awsome this would be a better engine than the drop in .21.o and have any of you guys heard of the rb .23 motor i saw it on ebay and it says it is a dropin for the maax is it true and were can i find one and has any body run it or owned one thanks

This motor is 225 or so at my shop...can't remember exactly.

Lack of Pinch, doesn't mean lack of compression.....
But if you are using a compression gauge and see a down fall, thats another thing.

Well, whatever it was, the engine's performance degraded to such a degree that it wouldn't hold a tune any longer. There are several other users on the Traxxas Revo boards that have had the same problem.

What the heck? How is this a direct fit if you need to buy a new engine mount???

False advertising.

[synapse75]

I would agree, if they included the mount I think they could get away with that.


Do you REALLY need a .26 in a Tmaxx??? Prolly go thru a lot of tranny gears.

So how did it go. I'm thinking about getting this engine. Either this or an o.s .18 tm to keep it simple.

it has a way to much power for a stock T-Maxx...
some serious modds are needed.

if you want I'm selling mine for 160.00 shipped.

thanks

[Lonnie]

Glad my t maxx isn't stock. :D

So do you just not like the engine or it's just not what you were looking for?

I blow diffs with a stock hyper 21 4port 1.9hp More like alloy diff cups rrp modded ring/pinion all rrp foc trans all six steel cvd's and a loose slipper setting and then you should be okay after about $350 in mods lol Great thing to do to a newbie sell him an engine that destroys his truck and then just completly screw him over on hop ups to the point that he quit's the hobby and tell his friends that nitrotrucks are crap I hate corparate b.s KILL EM ALL!!!!! I need a drink!! :mad:
