Im getting ready to order a new engine for my maxx. so far i have 2 picked out. the megatech and the hotbodies .18. which is the best engine for bashing and weekend racing?? If you own one of these engines please let me know what you think about it, like power durability ease of tuning. cost of replacement parts. any info will help. also post other engines in about the same price range that you may think compares to the other two.. thanks.....

The megatech engine is a .16 and the hotbodies one is an .18, so i would think the .18 has more torque, BUT the Megatech has just over 1 hp and has lots of torque, actually, megatech made that engine for Traxxas trucks including the T-Maxx as well as other monster trucks. its also a direct drop in so NO modification is required. I would get the Megatech, i have only heard good things about it and its easy to tune.
