Well i have a new rtr sc10gt on its way but there is weather issues and i have no time this month to brake in a motor to be honest. So i been looking for a good running truck. I thought i found one in another thread i posted i was looking at a 2.5 max but sure enough it was the first gen with a bs motor and it was priced do to the metal. I was told by one of the workers this might not be my best buy. He showed me a jato 3.3 with a 2.4 system but it was beat on pretty bad. I then seen a T maxx it had 3.3 but it looked to be a 2.5 or 2.5r. I got and it drives great and there is no issue. keep in mind it is cold here and i can not do many speed runs but there is lots of life left in the motor. It has no reverse but the servo is there. It has a black trans case, it has no metal tune pipe but there is a cut out behind the receiver box that has me thrown off a tad. It has the older 3 channel system that works just fine. It all so has a wheelie bar. Upgrade's are limited but there is upper front rpm plastic arm's, plastic rmp skid plate the middle section and rear. That is is as far as upgrade, i added a fuel filter , soon to add a receiver pack and ditch the old on/off wire that is starting to fall a part lol. I might do a new filter as the one i got works and i am sure is just fine but there is some cracks to it. I will try to get some pics but i think i have a 2.5 or 2.5r here with a motor upgrade and no reverse. I kinda like it to be honest , and it drove great no issues its running super rich lots of smoke and the plug was nice a wet lol. It did speed up well and i got second gear to kick in a few times. I think a good tune it will do great, i tend to think lean on the top end, lean on the low end a tad and back off the idle and i should be good. I might leave the idle alone. So i am pretty darn happy and i have a good truck i can mess around with for the next few months. I really doubt i will put any real money in to it.
