Hello All,
Just started prebuilding a THADD from trumpeter and the biggest disappointments in all of the HEMTT kits is the terrible engines that are provided so any suggestions on a replacement of did one of you CAD wizards come up with one already and I missed it.

I did not help Miroslav with this one, but it’s still a good set.

They’re both C15 engines, albeit with different HP ratings. I’d use it.

I second the Real Model HEMTT engine. It comes out very nicely.

With a little work, adding bits here and there, and a few wires, the Trumpeter engine can look passable as well. If you leave it closed up, you can;t see much of it anyways.

Is there a replacement engine for the newer trucks that now are running the CAT engine (I think C17 or C18)

If you have or have access to a 3D printer there is.
