Ok, some of y'all know about my Revo project. I should probably update that thread. ..
Anyhow, this thing... it's been sealed, I found the thread from the fella at ERCM, I've forgotten his name. The thing sounds great, for a small block. Good smoke trail, sounds like it should, at WOT, you snap it closed it settles right back down. No hesitation off the bottom, seems to run fairly well. But it has crap for power. I've never gotten a wheelie outta this ting. And the temp... Criminy... today was mid 60s so the temp was around 260. Higher than I'd like, but I can live with it. Now the last time I had it out, I wound up running game it so pig rich I had fuel coming out the pipe because I couldn't keep it under 300 and I saw 400. New fuel line. New tank, engine sealed, new clutch shoes, new bearing throughout, trans has been disassembled and cleaned. 15/38 gearing, diffs have been disassembled, cleaned and greased and filled with 60k. Traxxas dual chamber "Resonantor" (I have the factory blue pipe) new clutch shoes and spring, HD slipper pads (locked down looking for a wheelie) Traxxas plug...
Am I expecting too much out of this thing?
The T-Maxx I gave my brother is a beast. Wheelies for days, donuts, whatever. Even the nitro slash I had (shoulda kept it) had decent power. I guess I'm gonna gear the snot out of it. I have another engine I might try. That don't get it, this thing will be under the knife. Either a true big block or a Mamba.
