Hi guys, i'm planning to get myself the this friggin huge truck, but i have seen the vids and some comments, it seems the engine is really not very impressive....well, atleast to me that is.

Is it possible to fit maybe like a .50 engine into this baby or maybe the ek4's .70 without any modifications? Or can someone recommend a really more powerful engine for this truck?

I would be ordering this car very very soon so i hope someone can help me out here....

Thanks

u hva eto bulletproof the tranny-- since the power of a bigger engine will just keep stripping your geares-- alot of people talk about putting the gears from the savage cuz they are metal into the gt and it workled fine--

The Wasp rocks. Well worth the $$$. My GT spends more time on the lid than on the wheels with that motor:0

ATTI2D GT,
Did you do any other mods other than the Wasp .26? Shocks, gears? and how was the wasp on break-in

I had the werks modified .26 in my gt and did nothing else but change the spur gear and the clutchbell and the truck screamed and i never had a tranny problem. And as far as the stock motor goes gt-4 you will be suprised how fast it really is. My friend left the stock motor in his and once he leaned it out it was beating some savage 25's.

I like mine very well. As far as the .46;you might be disappointed in the top speed with a two speed. The .46 is a lowend enginewhich is why CEN used a three speed.If you are a machinest you could make parts to use that engine'especially the upgrade of the drivetrain to handle the power.I know you have probably read people say that AE said it was design to handle a .50. That rumor came from a Cliff Lett interview in which he said that he would have like to design the truck to use a .50. But he didn't design the truck and that's a big difference. The truck was designed to handle a .21. After your on your own in upgrade to handle more.

I bet the wasp .28 is pretty good. I heard good things about the .26, so i will be awaiting results.
