traxxas claims 2.5 ruslter to go 50 and 3.3 jato to go 65, so i'd say about a 15mph increase for you.

It will fit.
And you will be poppin wheelies all day long!!
Insane power for the size of it.
You mean the TRX 3.3? It's a high performing engine for its size but sometimes has reliability issues.

I've got a new 3.3 broken in ,, I setit up with the specs
From traxxas and won't idle no matter how much I adjust the high
And low speed what would you say the next sept I should take is..
This site hasn't let me down so I thaught someone ran into this before

break it in the 3.3 motors have a tight pinch from factory so after break in it will idle a lot better
