Welp, I run my revo with the sledge tires on it. It’s really quick. The car is perfect. I’m pleased.
So, when I got done, I did my storage clean. I decided the motor was simply running too good to be able to justify a major tear down and partial rebuild. I’ll just wait until it starts fading. Traxxas motors are too cheap to do it any other way. Just in the name to do it. Plus, they are very pleasant to break in with that carb.
Anyways, I broke this car in fast. And hot. I got the temperature up and kept it up. I eased up the fourth and fifth tanks. But, I leaned it out both tanks. And ended within 3/16 on the hsp needle tube on the fifth tank. The sixth one I tuned it and have been running it hard ever since. But, I did idle almost 1 tank in before starting that ritual. It’s been running hard and fast ever since.
And, it’s the easiest starting motor I’ve ever seen. This is the third run in two weeks it’s started on the first pull. I’ve run it three times in the last two weeks. It’s batting 100%.
Any how, I did the same for my OS and stock tmaxx’s. It’s time to rest them a while.
So I can finish my TMAXX 2.5!!!!!!
I’m looking forward to it. I got fishing trip plans for tomorrow. If they get rained out, the Tmaxx gets tore into!!!
Pics soon to follow!!!!’
