i have a (nitro) traxxas jato 3.3 (65-70 mph out the box) an a tmaxx 2.5r (35-40 mph) thay have been the best r/c i have ever had the jato will stand on the back wheels for a good 200 feet or more from the start with a good set of tires the tmaxx is 4 wheel drive an will stand on its back wheels for about 50 feet

 

Why don't you just ask the guy who has the mini 350 motor if you could by it? That would give you plenty of power Not very practicle I know.

 

Now that has some Promise! Might need some serious baffles in the carb bowl though. LOL.

 

hey, if he could get it to work he'd have the coolest RC in the world!

 

Nitro is not good for crawling. They can create these "massive" amounts of torque, but only at high rpm's. High rpm's mean high speed. If you keep you nitro engine under stress at low speeds there will be no air flowing over the engine and it will get too hot.

On the other hand, If you go electric, you will want to get a high turn motor (45-65 turns) and you really don't need to go over 6 cells (7.2v).
With a proper charger it should only take a 3000mah battery about 15 min. to charge. And it would run for well over an hour with the higher turn motor. With only a "stock" 27 turn motor it would still run for a good 25-30 min.

I have and have had just about everything. There are good points and bad points for every choice.

 

i just pick up the new rc buyer guild and the have 350,427 and the mighty 454 plues the have fans to i got the motor i'm going to use the 454 it has low end torque and the have led light for the light bars heres the motor it put out 3.5 hp stock

 

Can't wait to see this thing run!
