I've been looking at the BigBlock kit for my Kid's Revo,
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXJMG8&P=Z but
noticed that on Tower's site in the description, there are several
engines listed that definately WILL fit, and some listed that WILL NOT
fit, and many left unknown. . .What I'D like to do is put the .28
engine out of an Associated MGT in the Revo, and get an upgraded
engine for the MGT. . .Does anyone know what modifications would be
needed to make the MGT engine work in the Revo, if it is at all
possible? Thanks all. .

Lol, they wouldn't say anything but explain their trade-in program and
re-itterate that the 3.3 engine will fit in a 2.5 revo. .. Wouldn't
guarantee any engine other than what is listed on their site, , and
even said THOSE are not a guarantee, understandable since they never
know when someone will decide to change their product.. .
There is a bluepring showing the hole locations on the bigblock mount,
, ,but IIRC, it is often a crankcase interfeerence issue, , ,I have not
measured the hols pattern in my MGT engine.
I'm kinda guessing not since the Associated Pro 21R is listed as one
that will NOT fit. . ..
