New motor

[zking064]

I'm looking to put a new engine in my t-mass 2.5. I want something that is easy to tune, if its possible. Should i go with the traxxas replacement plan and put a 3.3 in it or is there a better motor out there? Also what fuel do u recomend? I've always ran Top Fuel 20%. I always had a problem with it running hot and burning up plugs. Should I run a content?

For a 2.5 maxx I would think about the 3.3. Otherwise you'll have to upgrade the driveline to handle the extra power of a better engine. Like a picco 26, sirio s27tx, os 21, even the os 18tz. Some of these also require a mount, and/or exhaust as well.

Olds covered it all right here.

Depends on what you get. A 3.3 is plenty powerful on 20% and the tuning is more forgiving. The others will have different requirements.

Yeah check out that post from olds. I'm gonna get byrons fuel now!
