O.S in my Rc10 gt question?

[JESSE G]

I was thinking of getting a O.S .18 for my RC10GT, All of the Nitro trucks I have owned have been used and possibly abused lol. So I thought it would be cool to start off with a brand new engine. Could some one please give me a link to which O.S I need and what mods I might have to do if any to do this. I also was curious if the O.S .12 is any better than my stock Ae .15 I have now? I wont be doing this anytime soon. I will have to make some money selling some stuff on ebay first, and I'm not going to be running my Rc's for a while anyway because of my surgery. More curious than anything I guess .

I donno if the pic will work, but any small block with a short crank should do you. If you have a rotary carb you'll have to factor that in too.

If the pic doesn't work click this link.

WOW those are exspensive I thought they were 99 bucks. I better start saving my pennies lol. Thanks for the link!

Thats the beast! They do have them for 99 its just a different model

That one is the TZ, a turbo version of their famous 18 engine. IMO, thats too much engine for a little RC10GT. This is a little tamer version for much less.

OS 18 CV-RX (S) W/11J carb

Here ya go Jesse. The .18 cvrx will be an animal in you RC10gt. It is only $89.99

Thats it right there... short shaft, no prop nut, and it has a pull start and rotary carb.

You will need this because your current engine is a pilot shaft, instead of short,

Other than that, i think ur good to go.

OK cool thanks guys, I'm trying to find stuff around the house I can sell so I can get one. I might build a couple of my custom 1/18 Diecast cars and sell them on ebay. I used to get up to 120 bucks for one car! Then I could get some other goodies too

I run this one.

For .68 hp it really runs great. It's not too much power that it breaks things, but it's plenty of power for me.

What's wrong with the 12? plenty of power for me.
