My brother in law has a traxxax rustler and i was suprised how fast it was. (i have not seen many nitro cars run by the way, yet i just bought a mugen
) So when i got home i did some research on the trx 2.5 engine. It is reletively cheap (bout 120 $$$) and they say comes close to 50,000 rpm!!! he has also not had any problems with it whatsoever. comes with alot of the ready to run kits. My question is, are the 300-500 dollar engines that much better? (oh and the 2.5 comes with manifold and pipe lol). I know the racing engines have better fuel millege, but are they that much faster???? just wondering, i am not a big racer, (will race eventually) I mean seriously are the expensive engines that much better?? I know my .26 has more torque but i still don't think it will have the speed of this RTR engine.
How much better are the more expensive engines PERFORMANCE wise. I am seriously thinking about getting a cheap engine
all in all this revelation is kind of disapointing.
