let me guess your a basher.you must want tons of bottom end. there are plenty of kits out there .30 and .32 engines arent that uncommon in revo's.look around. imo lrp.30 or os .28zx .</p>

I have a dynamite 21 plat in mine and it is probably one of the hardest trucks I have to drive. Wayyy too much power. Even with a center diff it pulls the front tires like crazy.
You can probably fit a .28 easily and maybe a .31/.32... but you are talking about power that will make your truck useless...

RE: whats the biggest engine i can shove into my revo 3.3??
how about a Mamba Monster Max 6s eat up a nitro anyday nitro is best sutied for touring cars ....but dont take this the wrong way im not try to be sammich or anything just my 2 cents
Pros:
Runs cleaner
looks clener
quiet
Semi Useful power
cheaper
Can be waterproffed for year round use
Not as messy
No breaking in
Greater power:wieght ratio
Ur revo will weight less
Cons:
Exspensive to get started
U have to convert ur car(more money)
quiet(if u like the sound)
Not realistic like nitro
...cant think of more
and dont make ur revo all alumnium its just gonna bend like crazy i would rather u break parts then bend cause bend messes up stuff by throwing screws out of alignment and nothing is the way is supposed to be just My 10 cents i guess LOL

Sorry about my post on the 46 engine. I wasn't serious about using it, but when the OP said "biggest", my thoughts ran to that particular engine. I think Snook Man's post is accurate.

The biggest possible engine that can go into a Revo will be a bigblock nitro, not the mega-blocks like CEN NX7.7 , Hot Bodies .46ci, or Thunder Tigre .70ci engines.
To put a big block in a Revo, you will need a big block kit. The largest blocks this kit will allow you to mount are maybe a .32ci big block engine.
But even this big block kit will not allow you to mount the mega-blocks (.46ci, Cenchain's NX7.7, Thundertigre's .70ci, etx).
