Well after a terrible situation with my old motor . (Details in previous thread.) Being that I replaced the carb, block, everything, but the piston and sleeve . I let one of my buddys at a local hobby shop look at it, and keep in mind this guy is a rc fanantic he knows his stuff . He tuned on it alittle bit and got it to crank up but it wouldnt stay running for nothing . So he told me the only thing it could possibly be was that the sleeve or piston was scarred . So then from that point on my father gave me the choice . A 3.3 or a OS .18 . Well I thought about it for a few minutes, I got info on the glow plugs for the OS and the 3.3 and the glow plugs for the OS were 10.00 bucks a pop . So that kinda led me away from the OS, plus I was wanting my truck running by this weekend and they would have had to order the OS . I know what a OS runs like and how fast they are, because I have had one on one of my previous trucks . They are bad . But I was trying to save my Father money, because this hobby can be very expensive . So I went ahead and purchased the 3.3 for 110.00 cash out the door with my buddys discount . Well this morning I wake up and first thing I do is hit the door with my new truck to break it in . Well needless to say I think I ruined my proline crowdpleazer body . But heck I think shes running real good now . She just needs a little bit of tuning, shes a little rich, but hey being rich is better than being lean .
