they are better in my opinion defiantly have a more scale feel to them .. which as you can guess is better than anything hahahah im running them with no oil .. just the tad that comes in them to lubricate the shafts and seals .. im gonna leave it like that in the front but put a little in the rear cause its a bit bouncy ... but i blody love them ! hahaha i hade to ground down the eyelets on the bottom of each shock because the wouldnt slide into the shock mounts .. which is easy anyway hahah although my stock shocks dont slide in anymore aswell ? haha

Got some cool shots there Sportie!
Engine looks like a SBC with aluminum heads with Crane roller rockers and a Victor Jr. intake.

engine specs .. sbc , 5.8 liter , redline 7000 RPM = peak HP .. peak torque aroiund 5000 , solid roller rockers/cam ... BIG CAM Brodix heads ported by my dad flows really well , vicor jnr manifold , fast 4 barrel fuel injection carby . crane roker arms last engine .. (engine A) was a more powerful engine . made 620 odd HP . truck did have 180o headers into single then split into gonzo mufflers ... SOUNDED LIKE A NASCAR !!!!!!
:twisted:8):shock::ror::roll::lmao::x:mrgreen:"thumbsup":evil: but due to to much heat near the driver from exaust and pipes cracking from glowing red and reving close to 8 for 12 odd hours its now just dual exaust into gonzo mufflers . still sounds nice but did sound bettersporties470

does anybody know where to buy a model engine that would be the right scale for the tw !?!?!? ive looked everywhere but cant find one

With the TH being smaller that other 1/10 scale rigs, it'll be tough. Closest I've found is 1:16.

The only other option would be an engine like one from the Ridemakerz series of models. They're kinda off-scale, but might work. They're roughly 2" long.
