It’s running good. My buddy is running it in the video. Couldn’t get him to open it up. But, you get the idea. This thing will boogie. I’m happy with the outcome.

I received my center drive shafts yesterday. I got them put on last night and got home in time to get a tank through it. The tune held from last time so I’m pretty much broke in. It runs like a scalded dog. I forgot how fast a 3.3 with is carb was. Wheelies to the wheelie bar at anytime...

Me too. Honestly, my frustration is just an example of growing pains on a new platform. I started work on this truck three weeks ago. I’m center drive shafts away from enjoying it. It’s come along fast. I just didn't have the experience to see things that I should have saw. I had...

Well, it’s been a bumpy couple days. Been some good. And some aggravation. I updated a thread I started about a week ago asking for tips on how to get around the stock carb linkage problem I was experiencing. I thought I had it figured out but, a more knowledgeable member pointed out my...

Here’s the almost completed project. It’s on its third break in tank. I’ve got one more then I’m going to get the high speed needle close and run it hard sporadically the fifth tank. Let it cool and tune it for a rip on the 6th tank. Then call it done and enjoy. This truck turned into...

I stand corrected. I hate it when you gotta wait extra long. My throttle horn hasn’t come in yet. And, for some reason, two of my tires weren’t delivered. In fairness, the weathers been bad. So, I waited on installing the axles until my other two tires show up. But, everything else is...

The mail ran today for the first time this week. I received all my parts. Including the body I picked out. It’s sweet. I’m really going to like the looks of the truck when I finish it this weekend. I’ll get back on the wrenching part as soon as possible. Getting weather tonight and...

I got free from obligations and chores to work on the car a little bit. I went ahead and installed the forward only conversion and tidied up my brake pads and discs. Pro tip. Don’t put parts in a solo cup you’ve put brake cleaner in. It melts the solo cup. Then you’ll have to apologize to...

Yes sir. I bought my son a used but new tmaxx this summer. Guy put 1 break in tank through it and decided all the fooling wasn’t for him. I tuned the truck after finishing the break in. It was nice to just plug and play as I was a newbie for the most part. But, I’m better off that I’ve had...

Ok, so I finally got that arm back on with my nylon bushings. It’s a lot of taking a break. A lot of aggravation. And one brief moment where I just about got fed up and took the throttle horn off the carb to give me done room. Who wants to do it the easy way. lol. I’m an idiot for not...

I wanted to tell you guys I appreciate the advice. With no owners manual and being the first time I’ve owned a nitro revo, I’m going to need it. lol Point in case, I hit my first little snag. I’m having problems with my throttle return coming back to idle. I’ve routed the spring as many ways...

I agree. I just received 5 quarts of the master basher. I’ve only got three quarts of the Traxxas 20 left. I plan on breaking this motor in and the one of my other 3.3’s I’m fixing on rebuilding for a 2.5 tmaxx. It’s a legit 2.5. I figgered as much on the parts. I figure I’ll do a...

I bought this car right before Christmas. It looked to be in good shape but, was being sold as is by a guy who claimed he wasn’t familiar to nitro’s. The later turned out true. As I recognized the 2.5 chassis. And it had a 3.3 mounted in it. I took my chances. I ended up with a motor...
