Upgrading my T-Maxx 2.5

I'm here bored at work and started looking up engines and I was I'm stuck between the novarossi 2.5 or ofna force .32

Which one is better?

the nova is a direct fit where as the force will require a bb chassis and a lot of drivetrain upgrades.
its hard to say which one is better ,the nova is a small block and makes around 1.8hp where the force will make over double that.the main differece is the nova will fit with no mods and comes with a pipe and manifold and wont destroy a stock drivetrain and will also yeild good run times , the force on the other hand will need a big block chassis to fit the truck plus you need a big block exhaust as the stocker will not fit plus you will need a lot of upgrades to the tranny and a 1/8 scale clutch, the list goes on.
long story short if you have the coin to drop on it go for the big block , if you want a reliable truck that wont break all the time go the nova.

Thanks bro for the info. I think eventually I'll get the ofna when I upgrade everything else I need but in the meantime to still have fun I'll get the novarossi lol

This is what my tmaxx looks like at the moment. Needs a good cleaning lol had to tune it again after installing the air filter and new resonator exhaust and now runs great but hopefully be getting the novarossi 2.5 soon.
