Turbo or Supercharger

I say no.

I would just get a Sirio .23 or at least the Sirio .18 if you want more power. There are other engine options as well.

Those so-called chargers are a waste of money.

Oh, welcome to RCNT.
 
Supercharge your wallet for sure. I will rather buy a better mill with that money.
 
RC Driver mag did an article about them a month or two ago. They had dyno data to back up the info they provided. I'll see if I can find the article to let you know what issue it was in. Data actually showed there was a slight performance increase with a supercharger but for what they cost on top of the mill you already have I would just get a Sirio or something similar.
 
They Suck!

they suck and dont work heres a pic of a savage w/ twin sirio .27s w/ superchargers and 1/2" exhaust, this truck was at an event this weekend, save your money its all about the looks!
 
BTW you really need to learn to use the SEARCH feature....most every question on opinion of parts has been answered over a thousand times...
 
That article in the RC mag actually proved that there was a small, BUT VERY SLIGHT power gain from the electric model. Though when they did the put this on there were some other modifications they had to do. Like changing the compression, lowering or raising the glow plug, and a bunch of other stuff that is a pain in the butt. Go with a sirio
 
well they are both superchargers but I would still stay away from them. just get a bigger engine.
 
They might show a little increase but thats on "Their" Dyno and also theres no restrictions like dirt, grass or anything in that nature on the dyno. Theres no way possible that a "supercharger" Will benefit a 2 stroke that is this small. There just a gimmick. dont fall for it. Just get a bigger, badder mill.
 
Superchargers and turbo's do very little, to nothing at all in performance increases. Like the rest have said, save the couple hundo's and buy a stronger/faster engine.
 
super chargers are a waste of moner and turbo chargers judt buy a new motor. A sirio .23 or the new pico .26 for thr t-maxx/revo its got some insane power, I'm thinking of getting one.
