Ok after a whole week of looking at this rig, I finally went out and broke her in. To my surprise the 3.3 actually got stuck at TDC more than I expected. I went to Hobbypeople due to time restrictions today. I got a can of 20% Traxxas Top Fuel. Not my normal cup of tea but when I finish this can I will change it to 30 percent Odonnells. It is just easier to break in with 20% due to the increase in oil content. Now the first tank was pretty sluggish as expected. I followed the traxxas break in procedure for the dirst 5 tanks. If anyone wants the actual procedure I will post it but for the time I finished the 5 tanks then I ran another 2 tanks at the same conditions.
Today's weather was pretty cool so I had to run a sock on the head to keep temps up above 200 during break in. After I kept it on since I noticed that removing it actually made it run crappier since the head cooled down to fast and ran real fat like on the HSN. A total of 9 tanks.
Funny thing was I teaching my son to ride his birthday present, an electric dirtbike. Prett cool, but while doing this my Revo got hit by my boy. Nothing bad just hit it a little and that was that. He on the other hand ended up over the handlebars and a hurt ego. He got right up and started again. He now wants to ride it more. He also wants to drive one of my rigs. SOOOO.... I will set him up with the LST for the timebeing and cut the throttle EPA to a minimum. BUT as for the Revo 3.3, I think this engine is going to be a screamer. I can already feel the power wanting to take control. Haven't got it to shift into second gear but for what it does now, it is fast. I am hoping to get another opprtunity to driver her again during the week but I am planning on getting to it the next weekend. I will post up pics of my rig soon. I will be getting my upgrades soon, Crazy Nut Racing 23mm adapters, Proline wabash 40 series with 40 series Crimefighters.I also have the P3 Rockers and pushrods coming along with the FOC kit and Hex head conversion kit.RPM stuff will come as needed, but I am looking to get a different pipe.
Updates and pics to come..
Thanks
