Traxxas offers a trade up program for their nitro engines for a nominal fee. All that they need is the old motor without accessories.

even if its old the 2.5r is from my jato and the 3.3 is from my revo

Try this link: http://traxxas.com/v2/powerup/

SELECT: the model or part you want to Power-Up!
CHOOSE: your Power-Up and any additional parts!
CHECKOUT: using this site!
CONFIRM: your Power-Up!
SEND: the Power-Up form and your original Traxxas engine, power system, or radio system to Traxxas. You’ll need to keep some parts such as exhaust headers, starters, and pinion gears. (All the details will be explained after you select your Power Up items)
NOTE: The Traxxas Power-Up program is only for U.S. customers.


It doesn't matter where the engine came from, you can trade in any engine for an equal or higher performance engine. You can trade that 2.5r for another 2.5r for $85 or trade up to a 3.3 for $110.

Another option "if your confident enough to do so" would be to just rebuild the 3.3 mill yourself. This is a much cheaper option and is a great learning experience.

Most any hobby shop that carries Traxxas products participates in this program.

yeah i saw the power up on the traxxas site.... i dont see it being a gain when i can buy a motor on ebay for the same if not cheaper...... i like the 3.3 just trying to see if there is anything with more power in the same rang as it...
