You have alot of choices if your upgrading from the 2.5. You should look up the O.S 18TM. I hear it's great controllable power and a breeze to tune.

You could go with a Picco .26 with a OFNA mount....that will set you back around 225ish.

Or....you could get a QConcepts Big Block conversion kit and buy a .28 or higher. That should be a substantial power increase from your 2.5(Axial .28 is on tower for 120.00)

Ya, is this going into a Revo or T-maxx? usually Big-block=big power but it depends. Im sure there are some small-blocks that will whoop a big-block in a drag race but it all depends.

Imo, go with a O.S 18 TM. They are 149.99 on towerhobbies.com. You dont need any converions or anything, drop-in motor.
