I was talking with Sky a few days ago and he mentioned a new engine that was a .15 but carried a whopping 3.5hp/ Supposedly you can bolt this into a t-maxx and have the power of a .21 without having to buy an extended chassis and thus lighter so your output is even higher. Anyone know what engine he was talking about and more importantly where I can find info on it or where I can buy one?
 
Wow Man that is a ton of HP the most I have heard from a small block is like 3.0 from the 3.0 siro .18 that just came out they look nice but no pull start yet and they are a direct fit for a 2.5 so that kinda sucks I really want to get my hands on a 2.5 pull start model. If you haven't seen a 2.5 run man they are nasty like janet jackson in playboy. I recommend looking into it before droping major money on another small block cause Stormer is listing them for like 119 which is fanomanal so if trx ever gets off its azz and starts selling just cars and lets some of us get some love from just the engine its self.

This is strait from Team Trintys Siro engine spec chart
TX-18 3.0cc TX-18 5 3.0 1.9 40,000

Thanks once again for clearing it up, X. Apparently there is some bogus advertising going around on this engine.

For the Mook, X's post translates to:
Designation: TX-18
Number of Ports: 5
Cubic Centimeters (displacement): 3
Horse Power: 1.9
RPM: 40,000
 
Sky, I was not doubting you I was asking in my mook way for the link because my mook head forgot what the engine was called and I didn't feel like calling you again.
 
:D

I know...I was just taking advantage of the opportunity to call you a knob.

Good luck in the quest for power; for all the good it will do you without a dogbone.

Have fun.
