Go .20 Traxxas replacement engine's

[hulkmaxx]

Going to try and get the cash together to purchase one of these this nitro season and do a long term review on it. Go .20 drop in replacement engine for the Traxxas rigs. Prob same quality as the traxxas mills but from the pic looks like it has an alum carb.

I was almost going to pull the trigger on this one but opted for the OS .21 for my Jato... I will be looking forward to a review!!! Hard to pass up for the money imo..

 

[hulkmaxx]

That's what I figured for the price it was worth trying. I've had good luck even with my Traxxas mills minus a rod problem every once in awhile. I have broke a few carbs on the Traxxas engines also so the aluminum carb would be a bonus.

 

[tvjv2009]

Since you brought up Traxxas engines and carbs, are there other aluminum carbs that will work for the traxxas? I know about the 11k but it's tough justifying 90 bucks for a 125 dollar engine.... I run the Losi 3.4 and really like it... just wondering about others besides these...

 

[hulkmaxx]

Not sure on aluminum carbs that fit on the TRX's mills. I see people running the Losi 3.4 carbs though. And yes the Losi 3.4 engines do seem to run great. Seen a few in the maxx series rigs they move out very nicely. I was going to put one in a #4910 maxx but my Picco is still hanging in there. I know you have to cut the crank down on the Losi 3.4 to get it to fit properly from the research I have done.

Nice! Look forward to seeing your review on it. Especially compared to other "known" engines in the same price range

My brother has a Go .20 in his buggy but was looking to down grade to a .18 engine so he wanted the SH .18 engine and I was looking to buy a nitro truck so we ended up buying this Conquistador from http://www.thehobbyworx.com/rc-cars...cale/conquistador-nitro-rc-monster-truck.html and he took the .18 engine left me with the truck.

If I believe what's going around these days I would say that SH is making it self a pretty good reputation.

How about we go in together and buy one.. half and half.. I will use it the first half of its life and you get the second half...

This way if it is a flop, we are both only out half the money..lol..

 

[chickenman242]

[tvjv2009]

I had to quit keeping track of how much I spend on rc. The commander threatened to block my paypal account.... EEEK!!

 

[hulkmaxx]

LOL, I hear that my commander put me on budget!

 

[Nitrotrout]

ditto.

 

[Greywolf74]

whats a budget? doesn't everyone just pile this stuff on their credit cards until their finances collapse or is it just me?

 

[tvjv2009]

I been there done that to the tune of 30 k on a 1:1 rock crawler. Took me 4 years to dig out... never again. Cards get paid off every month.
