Why

Here is mine. I painted it early one morning before a race so there isnt much to it. I busted my other body pretty bad the night before so I had to tear the masking out of this one and paint it up real quick.

kimberklr

heres mine.

bigjdubb

I got a new one on order. Once I get it painted I will show pics. Only problem is that it is a bit cold for the air brush right now.

Nice! what engine do you have kimberklr?

kimberklr

thats a 2.5 with the acncm enourmos head.but it is dead now,needs carb and piston/sleeve.so im going to ebay it as a rebuildable engine and get me the fantom fr18.

pamaxxposse

why the fantom and not the epic big bore??

kimberklr

well to tell you the truth i never really considered the epic.i've been tring to decide between the sirio and fantom.between the ****ty customer service and price i sorta knocked the sirio off my list.
do you have any experience with the epic?

pamaxxposse

no but www.beatyourtruck.com just did a review and said it was really reliable and powerful. I personally am going to buy one soon because it sounds like a good deal. I found it for sale at http://www.autohausrc.com/news.asp for 150 dollars and comes with a free engine bag.

kimberklr

yea i've read the review and it sounds great.i do think that the fantom is a better deal since its the same price and comes with eveything you need to drop in.the epic is a side exaust for one thing so i would have to replace my exaust manifold and i doubt my 2.5 air filter will fit so i'd have to get an air filter also.i do like how it comes with a pull start though.the fantom doesn't but the pull start off my 2.5 will work.

pamaxxposse

how much hp does the fantom have?

kimberklr

its either 1.9 or 1.95.the same as the sirio.

pamaxxposse

sweet, I might change my mind

pamaxxposse

the fantom engine is 200 dollars. How is that cheaper? And it didn't come with any pipe

150 [link=https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?pn=FAN01024]here[/link]

pamaxxposse

oh ok. But i don't know. I might just do a conversion with a 24-7 engine so i can smoke all of those loudmouth savage showoffs out there!!!

spazzyfry123

Thought you were worried about money. Haha, that'll really go up in price!

kimberklr

i think that almost any of the decent .18's would do a good job of that.

pamaxxposse

i calculated only 250 dollars to do the whole conversion. With a .18 engine i have to buy exhaust and glow igniter and with the fantom i need a pullstart. So if i bought the fantom it would be 200 dollars to get it running. For 50 dollars more i get steel braces and cvd's and extended chassis and also .7 more horsepower. 1.9 compared to 2.6 horsepower.

kimberklr

oh yea i know its not a whole bunch more.
to tell you the truth i thought the 2.5 had enough power for me.its just all the little quirks that drive me nuts.
and with a big block you can almost plan on going through your tranny and axles.
