That sounds sick! Let me know how it goes for you. I've got 2 MT2s, 1rtr and the 18ss. The 18ss engine pissed me off so I put in the os18 and it rocks. Much bigger would be crazy.

i neva thought about the os18, but the engine was a freebee so I'm gonna see if i can make it work.

First you will have to have mounts for the engine....it can be done I put a .25 in a 1/10 buggy. tranny last 4 (very fast) laps around my yard. In hind sight....not such a great idea. It was a lot of work just to break it.

I've heard of people putting .21 in there MT2 and having hard times with the rear diff. Wirh a .26 it'll probably be a tire spinner but still should be fun.

yer chances are il upgrade the diffs and it, to hardened steel upgrades, hopefully it will be strong enough.
