I'm a big fan of Novarossi engines. I used their .12 motors on my NTC3 back in the days for racing and parking lot bashing. I'll be using their .21 off-road motors once I start putting together my TLR Losi 8ight 4.0 buggy build.
as far as the diff mod I would do the FLM Hybrid diff housing...
If budget permits I would recommend the OS 21TM. The Picco (realy hard to find now) I heard is really good but takes some mods to make it properly fit. I recommend the 21TM assuming you don't want to modify your 3.3 to accommodate a true big block(chassis, throttle/brake linkage and servo...
Installing the bored out stinger actually should tend to force you to lean out your carb settings more. My CVEC pipe requires me to lean out my carb settings by a lot compared to the original pipe and I had mines bored out. Are you still using the original CB? What spur are you using and what...
It looks like you're not getting a good mesh between your spur and the clutchbell. Because of the tight space to mount the motor it's quite tricky to get a proper mesh. It pretty much has to be the right tension and has to be straight as possible. I really take my time getting the mesh...
I can confirm that the the 11k Slide Carb for the OS21TM/18 OSTM motor does fit on the TRX 3.3 motor. This should be a good fix to the OEM carb that came with the TRX 3.3 motor.
Definitely fix the slipper before your next run since the slipper is a critical part of the drivetrain. It's your lifeline in preventing the primary gears from grenadine on your tranny and over revving the motor. As far as how much to drill out the stinger there are pretty good tutorials on...
If the slipper is for the 3.3 then it could be because the washers were installed incorrectly. The washers are concave and need to be installed like a clamshell. As far as tuning you may need to change plugs. It's summer time and you may need to use a hotter plug if you're using the standard...
Eventually the ends of the fuel line will expand and may not seal properly. I always put a good length at both ends on all my fuel lines and will trim all the ends every 10 tank fill ups at the maximum to ensure the ends fit tight to prevent pressure leaks. On the pipe end I zip tie it since...
A lot of people especially newbies to the hobby gravitate towards electric because it's more convenient to run. No tuning or anything and with the newer electrics with LiPos the run times are untouchable by Nitro. it's less messier no fuel spillage or exhaust residue to clean up. But I think...
Nitro can be definitely more intimidating than electric but some of the tech that goes with LiPo batteries and the new ESCs are intimidating as well. If overgeared and the brushless motors with the combination of the above electrical equipment can cause for your RC to go up in flames. The...
I haven't really bothered doing any investigating on the 3.3 mill I got since I still have a spare is 21tm for my sons truck. I also noticed there's an extra Traxxas carb in the packaging when I got the 3.3 TMaxx. I think the previous owners were already having an issue with it already. I'm...
Funny thing is I've had numerous issues with the 3.3 motor I got that came from my 3.3 Tmaxx from EBay. Must be the reason why the original owner had the OS 22TM mill installed in it. My 2.5 had been a champ though. It's been very reliable and can lift the front tires when u get on it. It's...
The 3.3 piston sleeve set is not too expensive. RB Mods sells the HD conrods. They also carry a turbo head conversion and a cnc milled aftermarket cooling head. If u want to sink in some serious $ you can get the whole 3.7 conversion done or the full motor.
The offer still stands should you need the carb. I'm always up to helping any member any way I can. Also you can choose to upgrade to the Losi carb. I heard the TRX 3.3 is a screamer with this carb and it's way easier to tune and holds the tune very well. You can probably find one on EBay or...
My first experience with AE green slime was when I had my Team Associated NTC3 and TC4. Really great stuff and you can use it with a vareity of stuff it was not originally intended for. I've had it since and still keep one in my tool box.
Hi Got Nitro. It may still be the carb. I may have a spare Traxxas carb laying around. I'll have to double check. If I have it still and if you're interested I'll send it to you if you pay for shipping. Of course I'll have to test it first as well so we don't end up with another bad carb...
