new engine for rc10gt

[Kunar]

well I'm trying to decide what to do, i broke a con rod in my ae .15 the other day. i put in another ae .15 and it runs like crap and I'm getting fed up (i think its been overheated) so i dont know if i should rebuild one of the stock engines or if i should look for something else. i was thinking maybe a os .15 or os .18 whats your opinion?

Go with an OS CVR engine; it's got tons of power, and theres' a pullstart model for around $100 that's a direct drop-in for the GT.

i was thinking the .15 cvr but i really wanted the .18 tz. i know the tz motor will be a big pain to make work but it will be the most power. what cvr were you referring to? i would like the most bang for my buck (like you all, I'm sure)

OS makes an .18 CVR that would be perfect for the application. This is the one right here:

You might have to shorten the crankshaft just a hair.

Mine has the TZ.12 in it as well. First time I've ever sheered an axle pin.

Well like i have said. Id go with the .12 TZ 3 port. Plenty of power and it is a really nice build. More than enough power that I need at the track.

i still haven't bought anything, money has been tight working on my full size truck. i want somethign that makes more power than i need so i can tune it rich and adjust it so it wont quite pull WOT, this way hopefully it will last me forever. my brother has a os 12 cvrx in his rc10gt and it will pull the front tires, even my stock ae15 will pull the tires on a good day....but like i said, i wanna buy big and detune in hopes of making it last forever
