No, I pulled the K5.9 and actually have it for sale. Its a pricey motor and I don't love nitro that much. I bought the rather expensive truck knowing I could sell that off, and I got enough BL stuff to run it as soon as I get a mount together.

Besides I already have a losi 427 motor pulled from the muggy (truck also FS) that was already used (and thus worth much less.) I dropped that in and it actually does pretty well. I was even pulling wheelies with it Sat. Plus, I am not looking for a rocketship. I really wanted a big ass MT that would be great to drive over really rough brush, stumps and rocks, and I just don't want it that fast breaking stuff. Plus the motor pisses through fuel as it is. Amazing how fast a gallon goes. Gassers complaining that BL is expensive are freaking high on fumes.

It does seem like a really really beastly engine. It would be a lot of fun in the Muggy I think actually. The Mug is so big, and the lack of a tranny means it was pretty boggy w/ the .27, but I bet the bigger engine would really wake it up. I'd experiment, but its not worth popping the cherry on the .36 and hurting its resell.

Jesus, between nitros and needy women....takes 20 minutes to get them warmed up and tuned, assuming they feel like even starting that day, you gotta pretend you like they way it smells, and then all that trouble for a few minutes of fun. Then you get too spend twice that amount of time cleaning up afterwards lol. No wonder you only see guys into this hobby.
