i need a engine to really perform in speed wise i want to do wheeeeeelys when i want then shoot from the line.i know i will have to have one or the other.but I'm selfish.also my money will be funny.and what set up is best for my needs.not raceing at the track,but when someone calls me out i want to tear their heads off. any suggestions
 
I have a RB Concepts TM523 and I love it,it does wheelies on demand and I can take just about anyone one of my buddies off the line.I am using a 40t spur gear and 16t clutch bell by Robinson Racing.The engine cost more than the red dot picco .26 but I think its worth it.:)
 
yup, i have the picco .26 maxx with the same gearing setup and it will stand up in second gear

With that gearing how much top end did you lose?I own 3 revo's and all have RB TM523 motors and one spare.I'm going to expermint with the gearings and see what gives me both speed and torq.Also i want to see if i can get 60mph out of this motor;)

What bad things have you heard?I own 4 rb tm523 and not a problem with any of them.Just my opinion :).My goal is to see if i can make my revo hit 60 mph with this motor.Not sure if it will happen but well see.
 
I love my TM523,I use a high temp turbo glow plug from OS and use BYRONS 2nd GEN 30% and it runs great.:)
