Hey guys I was wondering if anyone would know what it would take for me to drop a .28 engine into my 1/10th scale HPI chassis I want big block power any help is appreciated

It's been done before. Make sure you stock up on driveline parts. I'll have to look it back up. @cbaker65 has an ofna big block tc.

I'm sure it can be done. Just a matter of finding or making mounts that will line up. Tried fitting a .21 in mine years ago and can't remember what the issue was. Put an OS .18 in it instead and that's a handful. Stupid fun.

If you do make it work it's going to tear up the drive train.

I would do it if it were mine.

I definitely need new motor mounts but I am also concerned with the gear mesh it appears to me that the pitch is different

You can, but why would you want to? If you're wanting more speed out of it, Id buy a high RPM small block engine for it.

I had to trim/cut back the opening in my chassis just to put a OS.18 cv-rx in my pro .15 rustler.
