This is the exciting Traxxas Revo Big Block Installation Kit 5360X. This conversion kit allows the installation of a non-pull start big block engine in a Traxxas Revo truck. REMINDER: This Traxxas Revo Big Block Installation Kit is designed to be used with non pull start engines that typically require the use of a starter box for engine starting.
ADDITIONAL NOTE: This big block conversion kit also comes complete with a forward only transmission conversion. This is not shown in the picture, but is also included in the kit. Traxxas is offering a great kit for a great price!
THIS IS WHAT TRAXXAS SAYS ABOUT THEIR KIT:
Too much horsepower is just right! The Revo big block installation kit makes it easy to bolt primal big block engine torque into the high-tech Revo. Just imagine having the most suspension travel available in any monster truck, combined with the big block engine of your choice. No matter which big block you choose, Revo’s low center of gravity, lightweight, and efficient drivetrain means you’ll get the most performance out of every ounce of horsepower you put in. It’s a torque-hungry rock crawlers dream! This is a Genuine Traxxas™ kit so you can be sure that it will fit right and has been engineered and tested to the same rigorous standards as Revo. The big block installation kit includes all the components and hardware necessary for a factory engineered, quality installation.
TRAXXAS ALSO PROVIDES THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
Not all engine crankcase designs are exactly alike. This engine kit was designed for use with a standard big block with SG type crankshaft and NO pull starter. Installation of some big block engines with this kit may require cutting and filing of aluminum parts for proper fit.

- Team Orion Wasp .26 Non-Pull Start (also applies to Ofna Picco 26 Outlaw 51213) requires engine mounting ear to be modified.
- Novarossi/TOP/REX 528 requires engine mounting ear and engine mount base to be modified.

- Ofna Picco Max21 51220 requires the engine mount cradle to be cut if using EZ-Start or another starter. FINAL NOTES: That is a lot of information for just a handful of engines! The point of all this is that not all big block engines will just bolt into a Revo with the Traxxas 5360X installation kit. It is the responsibility of each Revo owner to take the responsibility in making decisions about their engine selection. Neither Traxxas or Extreme RC Motorsports (or any other RC dealer) can possibly know all the details of EVERY big block engine that could conceiveably be tried with this conversion kit. Just keep in mind that there might be some minor tweaking required when installing some big block engines (unless Traxxas specifically says otherwise). In certain cases, some big block engines may not even be compatible with the Traxxas Revo 5360X Big Block Installation Kit!
