Honestly I don't see the added $75.00 value, if he isnt going with a reed engine.

I put and ESP stroker in my 5-T with a bartolone pipe...it ripsGo look at o'Neil brothers racing. You'll need to look at their "full mod" top end kits. If you want to step up to a reed engine just get a long block and transfer your stuff over. Esp makes some top end kits as well. They can be found at DDM
I have similar in my dbxl. The high torque head with 1mm longer rod. I also think it rips. Apparently my stuff is slow though?I put and ESP stroker in my 5-T with a bartolone pipe...it rips
You and I both...2mm here tho. Definitely screamsI have similar in my dbxl. The high torque head with 1mm longer rod. I also think it rips. Apparently my stuff is slow though?
yes 46/7? my obr34v2 aint far off mates fresh 47??I'd personally stay away from the OBR 46/47. You can throw a ported top end, and pipe on it to help with power. Or throw a reed engine in it and double your power. Or go all out and go bigbore

Was that the piston port or the Reed 47. Asking because the videos I've seen of the Reed 47 Fatboy look like that engine is a fair bit more powerful than a 34 Reed.yes 46/7? my obr34v2 aint far off mates fresh 47??

Looks amazing! How is the 46GT? What is your top speed and is it enough low end torque to do wheelies? I'm currently deiciding what engine to put in my Losi 5T 2.0. I want to be able to do wheelies, but not so much power that I can't control it on a dirt track.If you want to keep it basically stock, you will want a 50 or lower. Even then, you will likely need upgrades sooner or later. I went with a 46cc rcmax as I wanted to stay mostly stock to keep the weight down while still having good power.
As stated above though, run the stock g320 as they still move them pretty good even out of the box. Then decide if you want to upgrade after you have got 4 or 5 ranks through it.View attachment 59571
What did you end up getting? I'm currently deciding on what engine to put in my 5ive T 2.0 as well.

I did not know OBR was near me. I will definitely have to give them a visit sometime!@zxb466 it looks like you're in Los Angeles. Do you know that you can literally walk into OBR and ask all kinds of questions? And they'll hook you up with what you want, even if its just information you're looking for. I would talk to Dan. Sean isn't as show and tell. Dan will pull out engines and show you the difference between them.
