Never heard of it. I havent heard great things about redcat I'd personally go with the losi. Its a much more known brand, and have some amazing products.

Honestly that depends. Do you want another .15 engine? How much are you willing to spend?

If your wanting to stay with a .15, then I think the O.S. .15 CV-X w/Recoil isnt a bad choice. The price is good also. Here's the link http://www.rcplanet.com/O_S_15_CV_X_w_Recoil_p/osm11523.htm .

Go with the new motor for the Losi, I would personally stay away from that truck on ebay and get something that has good parts support at your LHS like some thing from Traxxas, HPI, Associated, ect...

thanks for the help guys i will go with the new motor or just buy a new piston and sleeve for the motor i got. but i was woundering what other motors will replace my mach .15 I did check out that O.S. .15 cv-x motor and for the price thats good but will it fit into my car without having to change any thing?

Your xxx-nt uses a standard crack so I'm pretty sure that the O.S. I listed would be a simple drop in for you.

If you wanted a little more power you could always go with the OS 18 CV-R(X). Should directly drop in without any mods and is a great engine and has a TON of power and you;ll be pulling wheelies everytime. Just stay away from redcat racing. They are cheap and not really good.

Where can I find one of these engines?!?! I been looking around for one for in my GT2 and can't find that mill anywhere I've searched A Main, Tower and R/C Planet. Dont really know of any other good sites to order from other than those 3.

+1 on the OS .18 CV-R, its what i run on my evador. Very strong, and i am on my 6th gallon of nitro.
