Big block conversion is the way to go

No it will not. And a BB conversion is not worth it because the diffs will eventually fail after you have upgraded every drive train part that can be upgraded.

Oh and just FYI the K5.9 SUCKS.

so the 3.3 is a better option? or is there a cheap big block out there that outperforms the 3.3? id love a picco .26 red dot but i can't see myself paying $200 for an engine.

If you don't want to spend too much $$, 3.3 with the resonator pipe is the way to go

This a short video of my T-maxx, with a TRX 3.3, Traxxas resonator, and 30% Sidewinder. Should give you an idea of the TRX 3.3 power

axial makes good engines and the picco .26 is a mid block i just got my axial .32 for $99 buck on ebay and from what I've seen the axial engine is way better then the hpi and big block chassis are cheap off of ebay

nope you have to buy big block conversion which is like 130$
