Ok, first off are you talking about a .46ci (7.7cm) or .28ci (4.6cm) engine? Who is the engine made by and what are you putting it in? How is it going to be geared? Need a bit more information.....give us the low down dirty and we would be glad to help you out.

its made buy hot bodies and the motor goes in a truck called truckzilla and my old motor dose not work it was a 28-2.8 nitro engine so I'm up grading and putting it in a 46-4.6 nitro engine in my hot bodies 1/8 scale buggy and so i was all so wondering if it would strip the diffs or blow them up because it might be to much stress on the diffs since its only made for a 2.8 nitro engine:redbuggy::buggy1:

Ok again.....a .28 is 4.6cc........a .46 is a 7.7cc....a 2.8 is like a .16 maybe. Now if you are talking about the .46 from Hot Bodies http://www.hotbodiesonline.com/products/en/hb28600.html
I think you are ok and they "should" be able to take it. However if you are going for the CRAZY big block engine I might check out the CEN .46 engine because they seem to be more reliable and put out more power. But then again there is also the Team AE .50 (8.0) too, which I have heard is a good mill as well. I have not tried that size of engine yet myself my LRP .28 Spec 3 is crazy enough for me. But I have to agree that there is just something cool about the huge engines. But paying $55 or better a gallon for fuel here in Japan.....I don't see me going that big.
