Not for Traxxas
This won't directly fit Traxxas vehicles. The driveshaft doesn't work with the Traxxas flywheel. If you're replacing a Traxxas engine, you'll need the ips shaft instead of this one.

Insane Power for Nitro Sport
I really love this engine! Got it for my sport (didn't buy it from amazon tho). The engine is awesome. It took a bit to break in and tune, but once it was done, it was popping wheelies like crazy! Had to change some gears because the torque was too much. Ended up needing the 2.5 conversion kit and swapped out the throttle arm, which didn't take too long. Overall, the engine is solid, but it does burn through fuel pretty fast.
