will this make my revo pop wheelies?:ninja: and will thes engine taer apart my revo at all?
 
We just recently went through quite a large thread about this.

In short, Yes, it will. It is a great mill IMO with plenty of powerband. tune it right and mate it to a good clutch setup and you will be nose in the air in no time flat
 
thanks for the fast replies. Are there any mills that will have alittle too much power without ripping my revo to shreads and with little modding to get it in? [don't even say the trx 3.3 long story]
 
Will it tear apart my revo. Could you give me a link please?
 
I would look into a Sirio 23 then. Trust me when I say.. Wheelies get old.
 
Jon the rb 323 and the sirio are pretty much the same engine. The 523 is in a whole other ballgame.

I mentioned that one since I actually ran that engine. The RB is new in my eyes.
 
whichone is better for bashing. And is more reliable?:tank:
 
I enjoyed the 18TM in my revo. With the right pipe (Fantom works in mine) and a little shoehorning to install an 1/8 scale clutch, then the 18TM really shines. With the stock pipe and stock clutch, I was pulling wheelies all the time with stock gearing. With the 1/8 clutch and better pipe, I had to up the bell a tooth and drop the spur a couple just to keep the front end down.

Tuned easy as well. I ran a pullstart (hate e-starts) and it would start on the 3rd pull almost every time. Ran between 215-240 pretty much all the time all summer long.

I probably ran about 3-4 gallons through it and it still ran strong. I never replaced a diff or had the trans apart.

Now it's in a baggy all saturated with ARO... my wife bought me a BB kit for Christmas... Then I got a 3.3 chassis and P3 suspension... I haven't run it much yet since it's been so cold, but the few times I have, it made me realize I'm a BigBlock man. As good as some SB's are, BB's just have the torque and sound I like.
 
thanks olds I'll take what you said into consideration. What about the O.S. .21 VG-P? More power? More reliable?
