You should get Traxxas's new TRX3.3 racing engine. I have it in my Revo 3.3 and theres power everywhere. Good luck on finding ur engine

i have that in my revo too. but i want somethign with possibly even more power. and i was looking at the os .18tm eb mod. it has over 2hp which is insane. plus this truck weighs 12 pounds... so i need insane power.

Sorry don't know any other .18 engines except the TRX, cause I'm looking for a fast and powerful .28 for my Revo.

the engine comes with a manifold and an exhaust that is built specifically for the engine to give it more acceleration. look up RB TM323 on youtube. itll find a video. that is the older model of the 523

wow... and now thinking of it... i might get 2 of the engines if possible... i might possibly be able to customize my chassis to take the t-maxx version of the truck... that will beat the h*** out of any other engine i could put into my tc...

The unmodified 18tm is very close to the 3.3 IMO. If your looking to get something with more power than the 3.3 your going to have to buy a modded .18 or move up to the big boys...Picco .26 RB 323 or 523.

Let us know which one you get!
