Soo my 2.5 is bad.. so now i have 2 spend money i dont have.. lol soo my question is i am going to buy either a Sirio S18TX or a OS 18TM w/11K-R Carb. What one would you guys recommend? I am a basher who also loves speed. Along with the engine what flywheel/cluch bell/spur gear would be a good set up for me.

Try a Dynamite .19, it is a direct replacement for a TRX eng, and they are cheap!!!
I have one and it runs great, holds a tune wich is more than I can say about my 3.3 or 2.5. Gear it like a 3.3 maxx and you'll be good. Especialy if all you do is bash.

1 they dont make the .18TM anymore so dont go with tht your cheapest bet is the 3.3 it bolts right in and is only 165 bucks tht what i did after my .18 blew

I don't think they make the sirio anymore either. I know the 18TM was replaced with the 21TM (@ $300!) and when I search for the sirio, I'm not finding anything.

I have been eyeballing the Dynamite engine rgreen is talking about though for my revo or jato. Kind of tired of fussing with my traxxas engine. Will save that POS for wintertime when I have to care about the cold damaging an engine. You can get the Dynamite DYN0700 for $95 at amain:

When you add it to your cart, the price changes. Not sure what they charge for shipping though.
