    Question Regarding Engine Upgrade

    I bought a Redcat Shockwave which comes with VX .16 stock. If I'm not mistaken I can mount a SH .18 to it? Can I use the clutch assembly from the original motor? Would the stock exhaust manifold work with the SH .18? Any other things I should consider when doing this? Thanks! :D
