Depends on who you ask. I know one guy that says it is a great engine. easy to tune and starts in 1-3 pulls. and I have been told by another guy they run great for about a gallon and then blow up. My advise is try it for yourself and make up your own mind.

I think the OS .18 would be a better choice. And its only like $30 more.

If you want a durable long lasting engine get an O.S. .18 (someone on here will know the one I'm talking about w/ the rotary carb that was on sale at tower, Ican't find it right now)...you are already set up for the rotarty carb/side exhaust version wich is much cheaper than the one made for the T-maxx...that will make your maxx kick some serious arse......and it's easy to tune since it's an O.S.

I totally agree

They are called megawreck for a reason. I dont know of anyone who got more than 1 to 1 1/2 gallons on one. They are notoriously a pain in the ass to keep tuned. I would not recommend one.
