Yep :D

Unfortunately, for no reason at all my steering servo decided to blow... (right after I took everything apart to clean, which is kind of a disaster on these cars) I've never had a Traxxas...

I vote Nitro Hoss for the next Traxxas vehicle, with a few twists. And here's why:
I'll start off with what it needs to have:
Either a larger engine than the 3.3, or a turbo/supercharged version,...

Nothing like a good thread revival.
In case you didn't see them in the other thread, here is the truck. I loved seeing all of the retro trucks - starting to make me miss trying to attatch the...

I suppose you could go 1/16 E-Revo, but I personally don't have any experience with it. All I know is the stampede is a pretty bulletproof truck, training mode will certainly be helpful for you....

Thanks a lot, Grizzly. I love this truck - it's so durable. But I slammed into a wooden fence at about 40 mph and took out both my steering rods and knuckles... Living the E-clip dream lol

It was certainly a lot of fun opening it up on tanks 6-10. It has wheelies on demand, but its tough to tune any engine for performance at 40 degrees. But for now its running great, I have a couple...

Lol so I solved the issue. I got her started, but on tank 4 and 3/4 I blew a glow plug. So I went to the LHS and got an O'Donnell 77 and that was a little bit shorter so I was able to get it started...

I am familiar with how to identify and fix a flooded engine... but I appreciate the insight. I may invest in an electric starter if struggles continue

A little update... Was able to get her going for the first 2 tanks of break in. It started after break 2 tanks, so I'll be back there again tomorrow, pulling with my left hand as my right is now...

Well thanks for the tip. I'll give her another try tomorrow and see if I can get her started, but it's been rather bleak for the last 2 days :rolleyes: never had issues like this before but I think...

As the title States, I'm having problems with too much compression on my brand new pullstart 3.3 engine. After trying for an hour to get it started the 24th, I took a break on the 25th, and I was...

Any idea what speeds you were hitting with that setup?

Not too much going on here, just a stock engine-less Nitro Sport
...

After finally working out the kinks of my old Pro .15 and its overheating issues (Exhaust leak), I decided I needed a power upgrade for the thing. So, a few months ago in the closing of nitro season,...

So, after over 10 years of use, my mounting plates for my pro .15 (got that stupid thing running again :D, all of its problems were being caused by a bad fuel tank spring and exhaust header) are...

Nah... We need the TRX 4.4 Engine! Maybe stick it in a 1/8 or 1/7 on-road chassis and try to sell the fastest ready to run nitro vehicle on the market!

Interesting, you would think they would put some sort of upgrade kit out for the V... That would be an interesting build, though.

So, I recently found the #5208 TRX 2.5 marine, and I was wondering, why does it exist? Does anyone know if it bolts in to the Nitro Vee? It never came stock in any vehicles... I am a little confused...

Take the air filter off and brake with the remote. If the gap is completely closed after braking than adjust the idle speed screw accordingly. This only happens when you brake, right?

Bandit is better on the street, Rustler is better on grass. I enjoy my bandit more than my rustler personally, and I drive pavement, gravel, dirt, and a freshly mowed lawn, but it is up to you in the...

So what are we thinking of the new Jato colors? I personally love them and I am happy Traxxas is giving a nitro model some love. I think the Nitro Rusty definitely needs a redo along with the Summit....

The first digit if the mAh is generally what I charge the pack at. Although I'd max out at 4 amps on the nihms. Better late than never

Ok. Cool. What gearing do you use as well?

Thanks a lot, Grizzly


So, have you ever tried to measure the top speed on the sport 3.3?
