That's awsome I have got to try ordering from there seem good

 

[Deluge]

Seriously. I need to start getting my covers from them!

Nice RCMK! And yeah, their descriptions seem to be all over the place.

It honestly looks like a bunch of copy & paste with info added here and there.

just got an email back and they said the engine is rated 7.5hp!!!!! wow!!!!!!!!

best power for buck i ever seen!

 

[Guest]

Sounds good to me.

Might have to throw on in the XSC. I could run it against my 7.5hp OBR in the XB. It would be good video material if nothing else.

That's epic!

Ill be buying one as well, just wondering if I should buy it now and keep it in the closet till needed, or just wait until it is needed to spend the 300 bucks...

Then again, I am saving my pennies for an XSC, maybe I will just start a slow build

 

[rampagemt]

If ya buy it your gonna want to get it running sooner then later

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

This is true... but you see, I have a delima here... If I have more trucks then the odds of having one running all the time are greater... if I have less trucks, then they may not all run at the same time, but when they do, I can afford to make them killers... ha ha ha

so, quality vs quantity once again

 

[rampagemt]

I am the same way I want to get the short course and still have to finish my xb haha

So do we think this 7.5 hp is tru? Im tore between the esp head upgrade or this now. Im headed on vac the middle of the week here and want to order 1 or the other so its here when I return. Would this engine be a better choice than the head upgrade for the dr?

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

In the thread a guy said he got an email back from gizmo saying it is a 7.5hp motor... so I guess it must be.

 

[rampagemt]

It would be better then a.head upgrade its a 4 bolt block

 

[bigboysrctoys]

Is everything else a direct bolt on? Clutch, pullstart, ect?

 

[Deluge]

The engine is the better deal, dude. Everything on the stock engine (clutch case, clutch plate, clutch, covers, coil, etc.) will fit.

 

[bigboysrctoys]

Well I talked to the company about 5 min ago, the engine is more around 6.5 hp and 3lbs of torque. I still ordered it along with the rear dom. Hoping this setup w the 990 carb, belt drive, and 8000 clutch should run pretty good.

 

[bigboysrctoys]

The torque means more 2 me than top end the few local tracks here are not long enuff to get full speed on anyways. But still at 6.5 hp it should rip!

 

[Guantanamo Joe]

yeah... I don't know what stock is, but I know it is not more than 3... so this is twice the power at least... good deal for a good price, I bet after this thread, Gizmo is about to be out of stock...

 

[bigboysrctoys]

Guess on the brite side I got a spare motor if I need it
