I think 5hp is the "claimed" output of the .46 engine. It's a lofty number. Doubling the engine's displacement doesn't double its hp. Don't get suckered in by high hp numbers. I also think you'll blow tranny gears like Monica in the Oval Office. |

I think a Feigao 7xl and a BK Warrior 9920 would be a better choice. Faster and more reliable. I remember seeing a video of TXT with a Lehner 2800xl/Warrior it was crazy-fast to say the least. The guy even launched it down 2 flights of stairs!

I have a short can 4200 in the pede. sucker hauls more *** on 12 cells than any other ride i have. Im suprised it would push a txt without overheating though.

I had a Modeltech setup in a Jugg2. Was blistering fast, but the tranny gears got chewed up on every run. There's no slip to a TXT/Jugg tranny (or driveline for that matter) so any shock to the system under such hp and torque will blow gears. |

You would need to make everything in the drivetrain bullet proof before you go sticking that much power in it. I put the picco .21 in my maxx and it tore the whole truck apart so now I have titanium driveshafts and such to keep the power to the wheels.
