Pics of 3 engines. Which should I use?
 
1 Attachment(s)
I am getting a conversion kit for my T-Maxx. (A Hardcore Racing one I believe).
Which one of these engines do you think would be the best (fastest) choice? I am not going to be racing. Just bashing. Or would neither of them fit?
One is an XTM 24.7 I believe, the other is a Novarossi .21 and the other is an RB .28.
Thanks.

I have heard alot of good things on the rb engines. It is bigger of the three as well. But What do I know. :D

Go with the rb.28!! dont know how the t-maxx drivetrain will hold up to it?

JOHNNYMAXXIMA 11.12.2005 12:46 AM

The drivetrain will be beefed up of course (eventually).
What size is that XTM ._ _?
Thanks.

dont know the size of the xtm, but its a good engine, has alot of power and speed. If you wanna go overkill use the rb.28. I dont know anything about the novarossi .21 but the novarossi .28 is really good!

JOHNNYMAXXIMA 11.12.2005 06:13 AM

Thank you much.

rb .28! though you'll have to beef up ur setup. Would u sell ur xtm to me? I think xtm is .24

The XTM is .247. All the engines are good, but the RB will probably be the most powerful, the Novarossi is a great 1/8 engine and would run good in the maxx and the XTM is a solid reliable engine and is able to push a Mammoth to 52 mph according to rc car action magazine

From brushless to nitro. He just don't give up. What can you do with him?

nbcaznmaster 11.12.2005 01:16 PM

lol, if i had to rank for bashing. I say.. rb.28, xtm .24, and then the .21 narvosia.

crazyjr 11.12.2005 05:05 PM

I told y'all he wouldn't stop

AS far as which motor, if you are going to bash.I would go with the XTM because the other two are italian hot rods and can be hard to tune

nbcaznmaster 11.12.2005 06:49 PM

maybe! but the hour of tuning for the .28 is WORTH EVERY PENNY!! the power is worth the tiem to tune!

crazyjr 11.12.2005 10:00 PM

I'm lazy. I usually set it and forget it. that is why i like electric so much

coolhandcountry 11.12.2005 10:16 PM

That is if you get them started some time. :D That is why I run electric to. The nitro is all fine and dandy but the electric just has the bam it is there.

I don't particularly like the xtm motor myself. If the Novarossi has a pullstart(which a t-maxx needs), it would be my first choice. The RB .28 will destroy the drivetrain in no time. I am a fan of the novarossi motors. they run very well, tune nicely, and will likely get higher rpms than the bigger motors, which should translate into higher speed.
