im running the stock 2.5 traxxas motor (.15). ive never replaced the piston or sleeve. right now, i have soft shocks all around. in a .90 motor, i have no idea. isn't that an airplane engine size? well, im not sure. in all of my cars, ive never had to change out a piston or sleeve cause i take care of ou have? I'm thinking of picking up a nitro engine because they are light and cheap for my r/c boat, but I was wondering how much it costs to replace the piston and sleeve in a .90 engine.

They make .90 marine engines. Do you know how much a piston and sleeve costs for the .15 engine?

Man that's more expensive than I thought, $58. That means .90 must cost around $80.

I'm wrong just checked. .81 size engine costs $140 to replace that means .90 must be $150. I guess I'll look into a bh hanson gas engine instead. Engine will cost around $270, but will have my deep vee boat doing around 48-50 mph.
