Default OS TM VS OS TZ

This is bit after the fact, as I already bought a TZ-t with a the crank mod to drop into my revo, but anyone care to dicuss why the TZ is better than the TM? Is it noticable? Pro? Cons? Will my new motor drop in the Revo motor mount with the conversion? What else is required other than maybe an aftermarket pipe?

Got an RB 323 coming too...

OS claims the TZ has a 10% increase in power over the TM...I've had both and there is a noticeable difference. 10% may not sound like much but it has more power throughout the whole powerband. Just changing the TM from a standard head to the turbo head set up would make a big difference itself, but, the TZ has 2 more port also.

How about the carb... I believe that the TZ uses is a rotarty carb and will need some modification to work with the Revo linkage... What do I need to do or would it be better to use a slide carb)? How about the stock TRX header and pipe, will that work as well? I'm sure I could figure it out when my TZ gets here but I want to have everything I need before it gets here so I can just drop it in and play.


Thanks...
