So I've got this TRX2.5 motor left over after a T-Maxx conversion.

If I rebuilt this thing, would it fit in an XXX-NT kit with the EZ-start on it?

Would I be forever shamed in the eyes of Losi owners everywhere?
 
I own the XXX-NT Sport with the MACH .15 and the truck already is out of control. I assume the 2.5 might be way over powered for the Losi. Unless you just looking for pure out of control power. I have never heard of anyone bolting one of those power-plants to a Losi though. Might be interesting to see what it can do.
 
There may be issues with the length of the shaft.
Hope you dont hear that too often.... lol
 
Don't know about the fit, but the power is crazy. I've got a buddy with the 2.5 in a GT, and that thing is wicked fast (when it will stay running HAHAHA). Honestly, it's almost too much power. Even with premium SOFT tires in the dirt that thing will get loose FAST if you're not extremely carefull. But DAMN on pavement in a straight ling that thing flies.
 
if you want you can just give the 2.5 to me and ill put it in my rs4 3 ss :thumbsup: or my gt wouldnt mind having too much power either

I've seen it in a NTC3.. pull start but it was WAY over powered.. Thats a good thing!
 
if i could id put a .24 sirio in my rs4 that would smoke any riced out civic out there

Ya the TRX 2.5 is way crazy in a stadium truck. I'm sure if its good in a Rustler then it will be good in a triple x nt.
:yes:
 
Thanks guys.

You know, some guys just want to walk up to a girl and stick it in... I always stick it in and then walk up. :naughty:

I thought the XXX-NT and the Rustler were about the same scale and weight. You think the Rustler is crazy over-powered?
 
The sticking in part lost me. what does that have to do with cars? but shouldnt you wait for her friend?

Thats prety much what I was going to say if the 2.5 hauls in the rustler I would imagine it would do better in a xxxnt (if the engine stays running)
 
talking about what does sticking it in have to do with rc car yo.
