has any one ever used this engine or know if this is a good company I've heard some good things and such just wondering what your input is i know you probably have never seen one in a t-maxx but hey theres a first for everything...thanks

There are a few threads about this motor. but to sum it up it has a nice powerband( I have it installed in my savage) I had to gear up alot just to use all of its power. I am not sure what type of t-maxx you have but if it is stock you will need a .21 chassis Also since this motor is powerful I think some metal gears would be in order. You might want tyo search the t-maxx fourm on how to make a though maxx.

yea...I've been doin some research for some time now i plan on getting the .21 conversion...all steel transmission gears.differential and some strong cvd's...and then see what happens from there...

I was researching the Peak Diable .28 for myself, as well. There is a thread on that down in the power plant section of the forum. I came to the conclusion that it was a worthy powerplant. It is the same motor as the Orion/Wasp .28, if I remember corrsctly.

What prices have you seen on this motor? I have a LHS source that has it for 159.00. He has two left.
