Would this combination be any good?Have got the tornado and need a new engine.Just got a wasp .12 and wondered if this would fit in the tornado?
What do you guys think?
Thanks

This may seem a silly answer, but haven't you got both the engine and the chassis so you should be able to see if they fit together.

Should have explained myself a bit better.I have the chassis,but won the engine in an auction and am waiting for it to come.Should have asked before buying it,but it was a bargain.I just wondered if it would perform ok,I`m sure it would fit,but it`s a .12 and the hot bodies is a .16 .Will it be ok powering the car?

If you plan on racing it all you can use is a .12 as thats the class maximum!
so yes it will be OK!

and it will probably have more power then the kit motor

If I'm right the Tornado is the Hot Bodies version of the HPI Nitro 3 is that correct? If so Robin Hammett used the Nitro 3 and Wasp combination to good effect in the foam class last year and I believe after the first couple of rounds he swapped to the Hot Bodies chassis, cannot confirm if he used the Wasp engine with that though.

Hope that helps
