    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I've been thinking of going to a. 28, most of those parts you listed are worn. My front diffs already destroyed. And I want to go through my clutch and tranny making it better. I've been looking towards the novarossi engines. I personally like o. S but j want more power than the TM puts out

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    What's causing the spur gear to slip is it snapping wide open throttle while I'm In a turn. My 3.3 is junk, it's needs piston/sleeve and front bearings. I leaked tested it at temp and theirs a air leak at the front bearings so I'm junking it. I'll dig the truck out this winter hopefully and try...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    Agreed, yesterday it ran fat and fine, today it's erratic and runs wide open without the carb moving. I'm gonna pull the engine back out and run through the re sealing process again. It's has a flaw somewhere I just have to find it. I'm also going to pull the slipper apart and make sure I...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    Update I tightened up the clutch and it keeps coming loose so I tightened it up a little more leaving what I thought was a pretty good adjustment. However today I fire the truck up and it runs like crap, it doesn't hold idle, it jumps to a high idle, my pinch test is right at three seconds, if...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I plan on pulling the slipper clutch apart tomorrow and fixing it. I noticed when I rotated the spur gear over it looks like its not on the shaft straight, and then I remembered that when I put it together I hadn't locked the tranny in place. So I'm assuming that it's just loose. I did check and...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    Update I finally had a chance to put the engine back in the truck again, I shortened the fuel line by 4 inches, checked to make sure everything fits like it should. Primed the engine and it fired right up extremely rich, I leaned out quite a bit, got the idle set to where it idles. The engine...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I bought her a new stampede for Christmas to test the waters,getting back into this hobby is expensive,she fell in love with the stampede and I was shocked when o first drove the new affordable electric setups, but it's still not a nitro. It's a shame that both of my lhs aim themselves towards...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I looked at the exchange cost, and it's only $15 more to buy at my local lbs, pending on how my bearings sound I will probably just throw a piston and sleeve in this engine so my daughter can learn the how to's of nitro r/c. I'd rather teach her on this engine than a new o.s engine

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I think I'm gonna step up to a big block, I have found several big block options for the price of a new 3.3. Just not sure what route I want to go. I have never had great luck with Traxxas engines.

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I just tried then controversial submerg engine in water test and it has a very minor front seal leak, the front seal never seals 100%. I'm gonna guess that the problem has nothing to do with an air leak, more that it probably needs a piston/sleeve,ots pretty easy to rotate over that a toddler...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    When i assembled the new carb I replaced all the o-rings,however it never crossed my mind to lube the carb up during assembly, I've tore many carbs down but I have never lubed one, I did check the gas tank, the owner prior just replaced the lid and it seals perfectly, for some reason the owner...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I do not have a spare engine yet, I'm gonna quadruple check everything that has been checked, sealed, replaced, including the fuel tank lid, I've had fuel tank lids lose seal but never cause this problem. I'll update tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions and tips guys.

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    Checked all that when I had the engine out, it's just weird,I've never had a engine do these kinds of things after all normal steps have been taken to check for running issues and air leaks, the engine at factory settings runs at about 1/4 throttle amount of rev3

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    I checked the fuel lines and I didn't see a problem, the o ring on the gas tank lid seems fine. I forgot to mention, when I did get the engine run on its own, it acted like it didn't have enough power to even move itself,engine would reveal to maybe 1/3 and just bog really bad,. I started from...

    Traxxas 3.3 problems

    A couple of weeks ago I bought a used 3.3 T-maxx,since then I have never managed to get the engine to run right, I replaced the carb body due to idle jet hole was stripped out thinking that would be the reason that I have had the following issues, idle up/down on its own, WOT without the car...
