the 3.3 looked fast but still the same tuning problems as the 2.5's from what I saw. Hard to tune correctly (kinda) and flameouts.

Traxxas should have came up with a new carb at the same time as the new motor IMO.

I might add it only had 4 tanks on it comming into this race so dont be so judgemental yet. Any motor can act like mine if its being broken in. I ran into the mistake of running the os carb also and then my thermo insulator went bad. Stock traxxas carb for me from now on. Once I got it tuned with that carb it ran 210 all day long. Never flamed out once when it was tuned right. Still running it rich untill i get about a half gallon through it. Next time is gonna be better once I get more fuel through it and am comfortable leaning it out a lot.

its cool. Its funny because my 2.5r ran perfect from the first drop of fuel and never once flamed out. 3.3 only had problems once I got to the track lol. O well, its gonna get better. Thanks for helping tune it during my qualifier.

Im gonna be trying a new setup on my truck next time i swap out my diffs. I was confused if traxxas used 1000 weight diff oil or 10000 weight oil. Ended up finding out they used 10000 weight so now thats gonna be my front diff and 5000 in the rear. Im really curious to see how that works.

Well you can start tuning it for performance after the break in is complete but I usually dont lean it out for max performance untill i got about a half gallon on it. I only do this because its still a fresh motor and I want it to be more lubricated at the start.

I just love messin' wit ya though! You know it's love, right?

Glad to hear/read that the new engine is looking promising. Wish I could afford the servo you're offering. Budgets, sheesh!!! Maybe after I get my tax refund....

I had great luck with the 2.5r, os .18's, and my current 2.5r. 3.3 is still brand new practically so im not worried about it yet.
