i was thinkin of a 3.3 cause its a direct fit...do u think it would be able to pull the front wheels off the ground

the o.s. .18 tm is a straight drop in too... i have both the 3.3 and the o.s. they both pull the wheels up....

You might want to hold off on the 3.3 for a bit while Traxxas works out the bugs. People are reporting that the Con rod it breaking and the piston sleeve is shattering. I bought one to see if the rumors are true and I think they are. The motor is TOO tight. and I think they took out too much on the con rod. The TM is an outstanding motor and it has a better quality to it that really cannot be matched.

Either engine is a good one, I have a 3.3 revo and didn't have any trouble breaking it in. You get a bad one every once in a while, thats what warranties are for.

and i heard there was this thing where u could trade ur old 2.5 in and get the 3.3 for 100 bucks or sumthing

its $130 plus your 2.5.....you can get them for 140-160 on ebay.

keep your 2.5 as a back up...................

throw away ur revo and buy a savage......i can pull my whole street in a wheelie and go through the gears.....wer talking about a 100 metre wheelie here....full throttle...

prossi

man why do you ALWAYS post stupid comments like this in a NON SAVAGE THREAD!!!! maybe you should be the one throwing your Savage away since RCCA did a shoot out between savage x and TMaxx...and THE SAVAGE GOT BEAT!!!!!

I agree with everybody else, the O.S. is a very good motor. A couple of my friends raced them last season and they are extremely strong and fast. Keep your 2.5 as a back-up.

Oh yea, ignore anything "proud savage owner" has to say, don't get rid of your Revo. His advice is the worst. Someday maybe he'll go race and see how bad his savage gets whooped and see the light. It's a basher and that's it.

I had a 2.5 in my revo and now i have a 3.3 its awseome!
it wheelies with no problem, it was a direct fit and start up pretty easy every time to.
Keep your 2.5 for abck up like others said and get a new 3.3 from towerhobbies or somwhere for like $150ish, your 2.5 is worth more then $15
cuz the ERP cost $135 + ur 2.5, keep the 2.5! just to have it.

good luck

i think i may go with a 3.3 just because i can get a warranty on it and im not racing....and i hope my parents wont make me trade the engine


thanks for all the replies...they are greatly appreciated
