Hey everyone, I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a good engine replacement for my XXX-NT which has a mach engine in it right now. I want to replace it because I'm affraid my last "run away" cost me a good engine, just doesn't run the same after that kind of revving. I would like to have the same sort of power or maybe a LITTLE more, and I am dealing with a modest budget here, not cheap but definately not a lot. Any suggestions would be great and reasons why, thanks a lot, peace. :tank:
 
i would suggest a RB C12. or Fantom .15 engine. there both very reliable and have explosive power. Also do you want a pullstart or non pullstart? Later
 
As for pull-start or non-pull-start, it really doesn't matter to me, I have been pulling on my Mach all this time so it wouldn't bother me. I was thinking of the OS .15 RX, what does anyone think about that one, wise choice or no?

I'd go with the OS 15 cv-r(x). It was a good engine in my xxx-nt. Just make sure you have your diff and spur up to snuff or it will eat it for breakfast. You may want to look into getting an RRP aluminum monster diff gear. Saved me tearing mine down every other weekend.
 
I have an o.s.12 cv. in my RC10GT very reliable very powerfull.
The CVR is more power than the cv, and a little more $$.
I could have gotten any engine I wanted, and I chose the CV.
The CV is plenty powerful for the track that I race on.
