Anyone have some good recommendations for a tmaxx 3.3 engine upgrade, preferably a nice drop in engine?? I am also looking for a good website to buy aftermarket parts at good prices.
 
os .21TM....from what i have gathered its pretty much the way to go....as far as parts go...ebay is a good place to look....then there is always Tower, Horizon, A-main, hobbypartz, and several others I'm sure....good luck
 
First how much are you looking to spend on an engine? There are a few good options out there for you actually....
 
Os .21 or picco .26. Os is more but actually has more bottom end with the picco you will have more top end and you have to buy a new motor mount do after you do that there both about the same investment. The os will drop directly in with no adjustments. Better look into a center diff if you plan on dropping that much power in a t maxx you won't be able to keep the front end down without one. Both are great engines for the t maxx and revo which in my opinion are under powered from factory and should come with a BB. My buddies savage 4.6 factory will smoke my revo with a 3.3 and it heavier. I believe by next year or the year after revo and t maxx will come stock with a BB.
 
theres a sirio tx-18 on ebay right now ,I have one great engine like it better than my rb engines.Holds a tune real good.the more fuel you run in it the better it runs
