its strong 1.8 hp if i rember right mabe 1.6 but still strong it will push a MT
 
its very fussy u beeter break it in but dont follow the instructions.

run 2 tanks idling
2 tanks 1/4 throttle
2 tanks 2/4 throttle
2 tanks 3/4 throttle
2 tanks full throttle

then you are good to go u will be up and running. my buddy had 1 and followed instructions ran like crap forever.

trust me.
 
i have it in my maxx. It is very very fast, but is not 1.6Hp. They claim 1.4-1.6. But yea, its a lot faster than the stock 2.5 in my maxx was. It is popping wheelies on demand, and with my 65T spur gear, this this is flying.
 
X_Gamer7, what clutchbell are you running with that 65T spur?
 
stock clutch bell. I must admit, it scoots pretty darn quick! If I had something like a 72T or 75T spur gear, it would do wheelies on demand.
 
I asume they are all the same. My stock clutchbell was a 20T, and I just went to a 18T. Alot more torque. Even can get a wheelie or two out of that 2.5 on my maxx. Never looked to see what it is, but I'm running the stock spur gear.
:OT: sorry
 
That motor sucks! It sucks so bad and I feel so sorry for you I will take it off your hands for ya. :naughty: Its a good motor, and diffinatly a good buy. Hope ya like it.
