Well, my 3.3 is done for. I tried starting it today, no luck, tried a new plug tried reseting the tune. Nothing works, i bring it inside tak the motor out of the truck, and I take it apart. The con rod, and piston have little chips in them, as well as the piston sleeve. I think the piston chipped and the pieces of it damaged the engine pretty badly. Anyhow, its time to upgrade to BB!! :D I want to know all of your opinions on some engines, I have a few in mind so tell me what you all think, and which would be the best upgrade and why. Thanks, as I am starting to save up my money and want to buy a new mill in the next few weeks!

only the OS .21 TM is a DIRECT drop in with no aftermarket mounts, i was thinking the Picco .26 JL Red Dot as well, and then combo it was a new era mount and a JP-3 exhaust. That would be nicee! :D
 
what are you putting it into. i just put a 21tm in my jato and a lrp .28 in my revo
 
I would recommend the JL Red Dot. I have a Picco .26 Maxx in my Revo and it is an animal.
 
i would go with OS, I've heard excelent things about them and had a OS max .15 myself it ran awesome untill it overheated for the 5th time lol.
 
as we all know, plans change and I'm not going big block anymore.. time for 1/8th electric so I'm converting to an e-revo with a chassis i got off of ebay!! can't wait to put in a MMM combo..
