Default TRX 2.5 engine in a HPI Racer 2?

Hey,
I put a Pro .21R in my Tmaxx so I have the TRX 2.5 engine sitting around. I'm wondering if the TRX 2.5 engine would make a different in my HPI RS4 Racer 2? I'm not worried about modding it to fit. I'm just wondering if it will be worth the work. Please let me know any info. Thanks

yes its a much more powerful engine than the .15FE but it will cost some money to get new parts to fit it into the RS4.

All you need to do is buy hpi engine mounts about $5, then the traxxas threaded crankshaft for the 2.5 engine and that's all. I have a trx 2.5 in my nitro rs4 2 with a 2 speed and my car flys past my friend's nitro 4 tec with pro .15 engine
