Dynamite .19 Mach 2

[chaos2767]

I have had this motor now for a few weeks and do have to say that it is a great upgrade from the 2.5. The motor is very easy to tune and does hold a tune well. I swapped to the pull start which the standard Traxxas 2.5/3.3 pul start will work on this motor, just need to pull, clean and lube the one way bearing from the ez start. Anyone who was contemplating this motor, I would recommend it. Everything swaps directly over such as the flywheel, clutch and clutch bell, their are no mods necessary to run this motor on the Maxx. The reason I switched to a pull start was because the ez start had a hard time turning this motor over but would do it, it just drains the battery in the wand really quick. With the pull start, I can get it to turn over within 5 pulls.

How much fuel have you put through it so far?

I've put just under a gallon through mine and haven't had any issues, I've heard of people having issues with bearings though. I don't think it has quite the low end as a 3.3. I'm not really sure though because when I put the .19 in, I had also put new Trenchers on and they were much heavier/taller than the 2.2 Dirt Hawgs I had been running. I had also been running a junk 3.3 that came in a freebie T-Maxx, it was on it's last leg and I have no idea on how it's life was but it was rough when I got it. I should be able to do a good comparison this summer, I'm working on a second Rusty roller right now, I'll run the same setup except for engines and see how they do.

I have about a half gallon thru mine, no issues and idles great.

One for a Traxxas 2.5 or 3.3.

Just wondering if anyone has some long term experience with this engine.. I have a jato coming in from an ebay auction I won. I was thinking of using this engine. If it is as easy to tune as others say it is, I will prob get one for my t maxx as well... I saw a youtube video of a guy giving a t maxx a brutal beatdown and he was running this engine.
