Sirio .18 engine, Fantom .18, or Wasp .18 engine for the T-MAXX?
I want to buy a new engine for my 2.5 T-MAXX, but which one is better? What do you guys think about each engine? How do they run? Does anyone have the Fantom .18, or Wasp .18 engine yet? How do they run, are they easy to tune? What about you guys that have the Sirio .18 engine, how does it run? I've heard that it's hard to tune, is it true?

I emailed Fantom asking them what is there HP, and RPM rating on there new .18 engine, and where I could buy it and this is what they told me:
Thank you for your interest in Fantom engines.
Regarding your questions:
1) Horsepower = 1.95
2) RPM = 41,250
3) Purchase from your local dealer, www.stormerhobbies.com or www.sheldonshobbies.com
4) Part number = F01024
Thanks again,
Jeff

I also asked them how much it would be for a new piston and sleeve and they said about $35. I also asked them If there engine was stronger then the Sirio .18 engine and they said that from there testing it was. I'm definitely going to buy this engine, it's cheaper then the Sirio .18 and all the replacement parts are a Lot Cheaper!
