    How much horsepower

    A typical .12 does about 0.50 up to 1.6 hp at the most, most .12's that do 1.4 or higher are usually turbo but Novarossi's RS12 S5 isn't turbo and does amazing power and a turbo Sirio .15 produces about the same power. Right now technically the Novarossi RS12/Mugen MT12 is one of the most...

    LOL omg

    Just took out the Nitro MT with the newly installed 49/52t metal gear 2-speed transmission with 11/14t clutchbell on an HPI .12 R SS, about 5 mins later the gears were sounding funny and I took the engine off and saw the clutchbell gears were chewed up and the spur gears were still intact. I...

    Which engine do you guys suggest?

    I should check out that Wasp .18, my father's Terra Crusher needs a new motor and it has my XTM .18 in it right now.

    Whats a good 21 engine for like$200?

    About the Hyper 21 8P, I don't know of any real pullstart issue other than people ripping them off during break-in period (sleeve is tight as baby's butt) and the OS carb makes a world of a difference in the engine's performance and reliability. the 8P Race can be found for as little as $140 to...

    Picco Engine Question

    The Picco 0-1BP is plenty powerful (some say almost as powerful as the Picco .26 outlaw!) and is on my new engines choice list, I'm not sure about the XP21 but it might be the purple head sport edition.

    Rb S5

    Maybe you meant the CS 5 port (1003-S) ? That's been around a while and I have one, very nice all round engine. Never heard of an S5. Nitroaddict, yeah I saw that one on ebay too from PDL Racing, but see nothing on rbproducts.com... strange. But I saw in the forum that someone mentioned it.

    gearing that is going in my truck

    You've been making alot of seperate posts on similar subjects... That gearing looks rather high, the engine will strugle off the bottom end, a 15 tooth sounds more realistic for a .15. Is the Picco engine you're getting a non-pullstart? That could be why it's shorter, the original motor...

    .21+ big blocks in place of small blocks

    I just got myself a kit from Wolfgang, New Era makes one as well and I've seen the much cheaper RCP kit which I'm not sure of. I'm sure you're referring to that RCP kit that's on ebay right now, it seems to just include an instruction manual and engine mounts for $23. The more expensive kits...

    question about picco engines

    Yes, pricey like I said, I want to get a new connecting rod but it's $40...

    question about picco engines

    LOL that strikes me as funny. The Picco XP12 ROAR legal is only 3 ports and screams like a turbo 5 port would and can beat an OS .12 TR turbo. So yes, they're quite nice engines and can be cheap if you look in the right places (but replacement parts gets pricey).

    engine recomendations

    I can think of many good .12's to suggest, and among those are O.S., Team Orion, Picco and sirio all depending on how much you want to spend. The Picco XP12 rear exhaust is one of the fastest I've seen run (other than the more expensive Mugen MT12/Novarossi RS12 & RB V12) and is much cheaper, I...

    converting to a non-pull start

    I have an OS .15 CV-X and the crankshaft has a pin at the end, I'm certain it sits too far out for the backplate to fit in so you might have to shave it off with a cutting tool like a dremel. I've done this with my OS .21 RG that had a pullstart.

    HPI NMT new motor / New Rims??

    Got some from gimpys_racing on ebay, he sells 49t and 52t steel spurs, they work in slipper clutch and 2-speed transmissions. steel is better for alot of things, they don't get chewed up easily and is perfect for my .21 conversion.

    OK who has a Nitro MT

    Since HPI, Kyosho, CEN, MRC, Schumacher and a couple other brands makes 4WD stadium trucks, there really ought to be a 4WD stadium truck race class- otherwise of those who owns a 4WD stadium truck has to race in the monster truck class instead. Oh and aciddream, if you an find some RS4 MT...

    HPI NMT new motor / New Rims??

    Aciddream, that street NMT on the Wolfpack Radicals has OFNA 1/8 scale rim adapters on the hubs, I was considering getting some of those but I think the NMT goes better with its standard 2.2".

    Why do they call them "Stadium Trucks"

    Back in the days, RC racing trucks mostly looked like the real stadium trucks but half a decade ago they changed in design with wider suspension and bigger tires, I still have an old Tamyia S10 that looks like the one Iron Mike drove over a decade ago.

    HPI NMT new motor / New Rims??

    You should be able to use the stock flywheel and clutchnut from the 15FE if you get an engine with standard long threaded shaft. The Epic .18, HPI .18 SS, Fantom FR18'03 are nice engines that'll drop in, but the OS engines are cheaper, good power and reliable- I have an OS .15 CV-X and it idles...

    Has a failsafe saved anyones truck?

    The failsafe is great, saved me a few times, at last summer's big race someone was practice running his MT on the track when someone on the same chan eventually turned on his radio and the driver's truck took off and went right into the shed's wall ending his day. Only thing with a failsafe is...
