Ohh touchy arent we...

Like I said earlier more power only wins races if you know what to do with it. I have seen a guy win a race driving no more than 1/2 throttle all over the track, he rolled every jump and never crashed. It was in int class but thats how he won. Hell he could have had a .12 in his buggy and still won. Power only works if you know how and when to use it. And I am not saying that I know how, but man its fun to watch the thing blazing around the track and all that extra power will come in handy at the nitropit, go up a tooth or down a few teeth on the spur gear.

And besides why not. As for longevity, time will tell but after a hard 30 min main my modded engine came in cooler as than the non modded engine 220 for an OS engine is damm good, especially in a truggy.
