engine power

[RC10GT-GUY]

I was woundering what the most powerful .12 leagle or non leagle engine that would fit on a stadum truck is?

 

[AC48]

I don't know if it is leagal or not, but i would say the Fantom FR12.

 

[dgrobe2112]

any .12 will fit in a stadium truck.. i got a Novarossi, .12 s2 which is crazy fast.. i am gonna put a cvr in the truck.. too much motor for offroad..

 

[Nitro_Freak]

fantom fr.12 or there's one novarrosi which puts out 1.6hp:clap: :bow: :OMG:

 

[RC10GT-GUY]

1.6 hp......... damn:OMG:

I'm looking for a motor for my gt so i can bash around and pull wheelies. bought a os. 15 cv off ebay but i dont know how good its going to be is the .12 better

 

[X_Gamer7]

Yes, the .12 that I mentioned is better, but its a novarossi...what do you expect? The engine you bought is great, I drove a XXX-NT once with that same exact engine in there. It wasn't tuned right, and it had the stock plastic pipe on there. Even at that, the thing ripped. I don't know about pulling wheelies, though. A lot of people have complained about the rustlers wheelies being uncontrollable. I believe with this engine they will still be controllable, and you wont have to worry about flippin on ur lid.

yea dude i havent tried os cv .15 but i just got a .12 the v head one and it is so close to doin wheelies on road and can easily do on dirt, grass lil bumps and stuff, today i was hittin a sewer and nailing gas and rode quite a few good wheelies, most exelent engine

 

[dgrobe2112]

I dont think you will get the power out of that .15 CV to pull wheelies.. i had a .12 CV.. and it would do wheelies.. but i was super lean.. i did it after i knew the motor was going away.. and leaned the heck out of it.. then it did wheelies.. i got a .12 CVR.. and it pulls wheelies on command..

 

[Jer_ry]

How are ya'll guys pulling wheelies i have a .15 cv-rx and i have never been close to pulling wheelies it has about 20 tanks through it. it was slower than i thought. it's on a rustler by the way. i thought a .15 would be more powerful than a .12 and if you pull wheelies with your .12 why can't i with a .15??

 

[dgrobe2112]

jer ry.... traction.. mine pulls wheelies in the grass..and i can get it to pull wheelies.. but its a trick.. throttle control..

 

[Jer_ry]

well i mean the take off's dosent seem like it would have enough power on any surface. It's not like my are spinning and missing grip it just dosent seem to have enough power

 

[dgrobe2112]

also.. like i said.. its about throttle control and setup.. you could set up the truck to pull wheelies.. what kinda truck you run?? could be gearing.. i dont know.. but a CVR should be able to pull wheelies..

 

[Jer_ry]

it's a rusty and stock gearing....like i said i heard the way everyone talked about them but was kinda dissapointed thought it was going to be faster...i was thinking maybeit'sto heavy considering i decked everything out in aluminum parts.

 

[Mach.21]

Thats y you make sure you buy light weight alumiknum parts

 

[dgrobe2112]

ahh.. well thats it.. all aluminum rustler.. that could be the problem.. mine pulls wheelies when i get good traction coming out of a corner.. when the track is good and wet... but when its dry it will spin the tires.. if i am running in grass.. then it pulls wheelies..

 

[RicMic]

I'm putting a Hot Bodies 18 on my GT, that ought to be nutty!

 

[JasonB]

I want to put a .21 or .26 on my rc10gt, anyone tried that before???????
