Nope, no new engine. I like the TRX 3.3, it works well for me.

I have had my Revo for about a year and a half now. I have been racing for over 25 years and I can tell you the biggest upgrade you can make are new tires. Pick up some Dace hubs and Proline Bowties. I ran both 40 series and the standard T-maxx size. Gotta say that I love the standard size better. The Dace hubs will cost you a bit more, but man are they worth it. Your other upgrades have you on the right track as well. Look into the Trinity pipe as well. A little louder, but I gained a ton of low end punch.
