Got Nitro?
Hardcore RCTalk User
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 opening,etc. I have pulled the engine apart and RTV everything that fixes a normal air leak situation. But I've got no change, once after every so starting cycles it hits a sweet spot and revs up and down like a champ a few seconds later the hope fades away. I checked the piston and sleeve and its been 10 years since I've played with a nitro so I'm unsure if it could be a compression problem. Any input suggestions, engine temp stays between 180-200.
