I might have to look into that. Its only 179 at towerhobbies, and they're offering a 25 dollar discount.

So I'm assuming that the Mugen MTX3 prospec drivetrain can handle this motor?

Thanks for the insight!
Yes the MTX3 prospec can easily handle it. A higher displacement engine will generally produce more HP, but I doubt you will see the full benefit unless you drop your gear ratio to exploit it. As you noticed, RPM's are usually not higher, but the increased torque lets it put down more gear without flattening out.
