Everyone thinks mine is modded.It just screams.I hope they don't change it.I like it just the way it is.When these two are worn out (soon) I'll buy a couple more.I am not sponsored by these guys either.I just know a good deal when I see one.....No engine in this price range is better than the Caster Grenade...Period.
dont get me wrong my stock grenade is AWESOME! but i want to get more run time out of it 13 mins is not ENOUGH! power if it comes with the economy so be it!
i had both of mine in a brick of an mbx5r and she pulled losi 2.0s with v specs down the straight then again i was running a 14t clutch bell

and james as soon as i get my a main order ill get some testing in and some vids
