My Tec is already way too fast with just the 2.5 in it. I can't imagine what it would be like with an 18 in it.
For the dirt: T-Maxx, Fantom .18, all RPM. RC10T3. RC10GT. For the street: Power Racing XR-80, 1/8th scale, W/stock .27. Mugen MTX-3 W/O.S. 18TZ. Yokomo Gt-4 W/Novarossi CT12. For the water: Traxxas Blast deep vee boat. Radio: Airtronics M8 with the Spektrum system.

You need any SG style crankshaft i beleive.
OS 15 CVRX is a pretty good engine, but it doesnt have the top end power like the trx2.5, but is close enough for most.
They do run extremely well though, and hold a tune real good.Im no expert. i just play one on the TRX forums

i've narrowed it down to the .18 fantom or epic .........can't decide which one yet .......did you have to make a lot of mods for the fantom to fit

Fantom .18 Mods
All I had to do is to grind on the Motor Mount alittle to remove 2 tabs and use a new exhaust header. When you are ready let me know and I'll look up the part # that I used. The new header will be held on with a singlw wraparound spring.

Well, the need for more speed continues - I'm taking the Fantom FR18 out and I want to install a big block .21 Hyper 8-port.
Does anyone have any pointers?

Don't use the stock belts. Try to find better diffs.
Knowledge is useless unless one can pass it on.
