crt.5 engine choice
 

Hello, i,am to look for an engine for my new crt.5 pro kit. I only want to do bashing with it. I will put 2.2 stadium truck wheel and tire to give me extra tires choice and better grip.
I am hesitate between the OS .18TZ and the RB Concept V-15 turbo.

But i am a little concern about the 75ml fuel tank and i am scared that this both engine will pass trough the tank too much quickly.
But i do not want a .12 engine, i want something with lot of torque.

What do you think and if someone here have one of these 2 engine in his crt.5, please give me your impressions and your run time.

Thank you!!

between those two i would lean to the os mill, but i feel either would be too much for the .5

I would suggest a traxxas 2.5r engine for its power and price.

Picco .12!!!! :nod:

The RB V-15 is cheaper than the OS and TRX 3.3, i can have a brand new in box V-15 for $99.99US.
But it,s a standard crank, so i will have to run an Ofna pilot shaft clutch nut.

An for the Picco .12, i had said in my first post that i will only bash with it, so i want a motor with more torque than a .12:nod:

i got the rb .15 in mine and it is awesome!good mileage too.awsome bottom andtop end.i was considering putting it in my 1/8 buggy,but it was gonna be a pain to make the mounts.either would be a good choice,but my vote is rb,and ive had both.

crt.5 with a big block
 

i have a buddy that has a works 21 in his & it is all the motor you will ever need

i tried the 18tz..
 

18tz is a bit much,,,, lol

that may be a little much!! haha i bet its a handful

big block
 

the thing is insane & the throtle is only set to get a little over half& still flys a long ways off the jumps i`am going to be putting a rody roam .15 in mine for club racing to try & beat the os .18 that is leading in points right now

the rody motors maybe hard to come by in the future since he is leaving rb:(

yeah i no it sucks to here that i went & got two of his motors #01700-000735 tower hobbies is the only place i could find them & thay were not cheap i hope he starts his own motors i would still buy from him

OK i've order the V-15 with the standard shaft, and put the Ofna 10091 Pilot shaft nut on it.:D
