That would be cool, I am waiting on a 30.5 ONB 4 bolt machined and ported engine for my MT. That should tear it apart.

You guys are nuts :rolleyes: didn't you see Moo's MT with the full mod 27.2...it's honestly to much for these things, If I even decide to go larger than the 26 it would be a stock 28.5 . A 30.5 is a torque monster, not at all necessary in the Nutechs and you lose the high rpms the smaller displacement engines provide.:beat dead horse: Believe me I'm ALL about big power but unless you can get it to the ground it's ??? LOL

I just raced electrics last saturday. I had an overpowered motor (all I had to work with) and it hurt me more than helped. a 30.5 is for big heavy mt's that need the torque. then you have to gear it to get top end back. I can't wait until Feb so I can bring my buggy over to your track Scott... let the smack talk start hehe cuz this stock 26 is going to eat up some overpowered mt :D

I have to agree, my full mod and pipe is making huge power but i can't hook it up...i'm going to work on set up when I get home to try and get more power down. I only had 3/4 th on the track and it was good but may be a bit of a handful with full wot, on the wet road it was totally unusable.
Also agree with not running the 30.5 as you'll lose some top end...if you go ceramics and vrc it'll rev well like my rampage does but with all the low torque it'll be a hard to control me thinks
