Default Difference between Road and Dirt Motors?
Guys

I've been into 1/10th nitro road and stadium trucks (NTC3, XXXNT and RC10GT) for over a year and just stepped up to a 1/8th Kanai 2 and an MRX.


What is the engineering difference between a nitro road and gas motor?

It appears that some of the buggy motors have a longer stroke, (perhaps for more bottom end grunt) but what keeps you from putting a buggy engine in a road car?

If you gear them right, would you kill a buggy motor with more high end rpm or what?
