OS in a MAXX

[FrankieSquid]

What O.S Engines have you all delt with before on the MAXX. I have the original 3.3. Theres many options of O.S Nitro engines. I'm bascially lookin for one with a bit more punch N acceleration. Any feedback greatly appreciated.

O.S. .21TM is a direct bolt in big block....I hear good things..

Thanks for the feedback! I'm probably gonna go to my LHS to see what they got.

Well, the OS18TM doesn't exist any longer. It's power output wasn't any stronger than the 3.3 really, but it had a better power curve. The OS18TZ has a little more snap than the 3.3, but it isn't a bolt in I don't think. You have to find a header that will work with it. Perhaps the one from the 18TM for the maxx.

As for the 21TM... I thought it a bit over priced:

But, if it's a really strong engine... might be worth the $.

Why are you looking for OS engines only? A lot of guys have ran this one with good results:

I believe it requires a special engine mount though:

Still, $80 cheaper than the OS21TM.
