ideas for a new setup

[doosh]

Hey guys been a while since i have posted and now I'm up for some ideas on a new engine for my nitro sport.

I have built my nitro sport with aluminum parts and upgraded to the 2.5r engine. stronger servos and a great flysky receiver/transmitter. been a really enjoyable build. Only thing i need to put on is the 2speed transmission from the jato (going to be a tricky install)

After everything was put together and running, the rig isnt fast enough.. i was wondering if there is other engines that will drop in that will give me a heap more speed.

Also any different types of shocks and springs that will help the rig hug the road abit better? I also have a TMAXX 3.3 which i love and does the job for offroad bashing wouldnt mind setting up the nitro sport to a "on road' truggy. I will post some photos if you guys are intrested in the build

Any suggestions would be great Thanks

Instead of going with a larger or more powerful engine have you tried changing the gearing? Going smaller on the spur and larger on the clutchbell will give you more top end.

Engine wise there are a lot of options but the aluminum is where the problem is because it is now a lot heavier. Also, as just said gearing will help

i guess new and more powerfull engine could be one way but i will do some research about the gearing... so small spur with larger CB cool hopefully does the trick

here are just a few photos of the build hope you guys like

I have a sirio tx-18 in mine and it halls a**.nice rig it should run pretty good with that 2.5r in it.you sure you got a good tune on it they a a pain to tune.A 3.3 will fit in it as well.also i hear good things aboult the dynimite 2.19 it will drop right in also

Tuning wasn't fun at all... Was actually a pick. I reckon i got it running ok my engine temps sit around 210 - 230 with a few fast runs
