An engine
that comes as stock equipment with a ready-to-run
vehicle is put there simply to complete the ready-to-run
package. It never receives the extensive R&D
(research & development) time a modified after
market engine does. That’s because a modified
aftermarket engine, like the M-16 series engines,
are intended for the modified hop-up market. Our
M-16 series engine was first
and foremost developed and sold as a modified
hop-up engine to improve performance over stock
equipped engines. Only later was this powerhouse
fitted to our Tempest Gladiator. Our M-16
(2.6) has received more dedicated R&D time
than any other engine designed for the T-MAXX—period!
As this relates to Traxxas’ latest 2.5 engine,
here are the facts. megatech’s M-16
(2.6), which is 2.6cc (.16ci), has more displacement
than the new Traxxas TRX 2.5, which is 2.5cc (.15ci).
Monster trucks need torque, and nothing produces
it like displacement. Combining both high-torque
and horsepower, the bolt-in M-16
2.6 offers the most useable power for the T-MAXX
even over the latest version of the TRAXXAS stock
engine. Useable power is achieved one way. With
the right mix of horsepower plus torque—and
that’s what the M-16 has delivering awesome
heavy-metal acceleration. There simply is no single
aftermarket hop-up that gives the T-MAXX more
performance—period!
Performance alone isn’t the only reason
monster truck enthusiasts have been so positive
about the M-16 (2.6). It’s
because all this heavy-metal moving power is combined
with super reliable running characteristics. Consumers
don’t want to fiddle with a finicky engine,
no matter how much power they claim to offer.
The M-16 (2.6) improves both
T-MAXX performance and dependability
so much; your customer’s T-MAXX will seem
like a whole new truck when a M-16
(2.6) is bolted in
