hey guys i'm new to the rc truck world

i have a revo 3.3 and looking to put a BB motor in it but don't know which on to use.

Which motor fits good and will give me the best performace?
 
Personally in the Revo since it is kinda light a good .21 is great...plenty of torque and TONS of top-end. OS makes a good one. Do you prefer pull-start, roto-start or bump box. That is also something you have to take in to account when doing the conversion. Which conversion kit are you using?
 
I've never done a conversion on a rc truck i don't know whats best..
i've always flew rc airplanes so i'm not familiar with the trucks
 
What do you want to spend and are you looking for gear shredding torque or just good drivablity?

I'm assuming your a basher as well and that you want to stick with a ez-start/pull-start/roto-start vs trying to adapt to a starter box?
 
Is the os .21 with the revo manifold worth the money?
 
I like my .21vzb, I went with a bump box and ditched the ez start. I scored the motor off ebay and was local to me. I sold the 3.3 engine and starter wand for what I paid for the BB motor, so the only out of pocket expenses I had was the bump box, the (2) batteries for the box, and then the big block conversion kit, and (1) os-p7 glow plug. If i'm not mistaken, I think the big block conversion kit comes with the manifold.
