I need a new engine for my revo. I want a direct drop in as BB engines always move when dropped on their head and I keep eatting spur gears. My drive train and tranny have been upgraded and can handle pretty much anything I throw at it. I would prefer a pullstart motor. Any suggestions?

U are going to have the same problem with any drop in motor...

Why not do what i did.... drill a small hole neer the motor mount at the edge of the chassis, and screw in a bolt to stop the mount from moving outward....

dammm dont have any pics.... did find this, its a nother little mod I did to mine....

HPI battery moniter...

I've tried that still the engine will get out of mesh after it flips.  Do you have any advice for direct drop in engines?

Thats a shame u couldent get it to work, wonder what u did wrong??? with mine there is no way the motor can move its hard up against the screw...

Ur question has been asked a few time, honestly sometime its good to do your own research that way u can get a bigger understanding of what people use.

this is the first google result... & happens to be RCU

Please dont get offended, but if u want the most out of ur r/c cars, u need to do ur own research & dont rely on others or random forum members...
As u might or might not know there are lots of motors that will work with a revo. some require slight mods (bigblock motor mount) but its worth it...
dont get put off because u might have to buy a additional $18 part
