I have a redcat shockwave with a vx.16, and i found it to be underpowered, so I went and got a ZR.32. It is not delivered yet and I want to know what else i need to get to make this engine swap work. I dont care how overpowered this will be, I just want it to work. I also have a 2 speed steel transmission to handle the power so if anybody knows what clutch and flywheel i would need that would be helpful. I am trying to keep the cost down, and already ordered a rear mount exhaust and bigger tires.
 
you're going to need a big block engine mount (good luck finding one for that kit) and Buku makes good clutches. you're only really problem is going to be the engine mount cuz a .32 is a bigblock and a .16 is a small block.

What is the distance between screws for the engine mount on a big block, my mounts have 3 holes and the .16 uses the more narrow holes, these are the ones i have https://www.amazon.com/Redcat-Racing-Engine-Mounts-Screw/dp/B009JMUNOI would these by chance work
 
the drivetrain will not hold for a half tank of fuel if that even. i put a hyper 21 8 port with mediocre compression and first tank, sheared a couple outdrive pins, then a spur, modded a metal spur, front diff grenaded, etc etc. I highly recommend picking up a cheap roller that can hang with that 32 bro
 
I just picked up this roller for 100 dollars, does anybody know what it is so i can find the parts that it is missing?

Okay, just wondering if these use the same size servos as a 1/10, and where could i find a axis fuel tank? And would the carb be able to change directions on the big block to have the linkage on the right side?
