HAS ANYONE REACHED 100 MPH WITH A NITRO???

First time hearing of this website, I'll check it out. Also saw they have 22t pinion gear which i might get too. Thank you for your help!

Absolutely man. I wouldn’t dilly-dally long on that motor if it’s what you want.. Ya won’t find a better deal on it, and they’re highly sought after.. You can use his coupon codes multiple times a month as well. They don’t expire after use like amain.. I’ve been buying from Joe for years.

Learned something new, Rustler is a stadium truck.

Rustler has been a stadium truck since 1994 (electric) and 1996 for the nitro

All I knew is that it was a Nitro lol

I was thinking of actually going with a .15 with higher revs, 45k rpm not sure if a smaller higher reving engine would be better though.

That will net you slower results going down to a.15 even with the higher rev. That added rpm gets eaten up because of the weight of the vehicle and added temperature. You'll need a dedicated race block to start like a Samurai RM1, OS Speed B2105 or a Werks B5 or B6 pro if you can source one. I hit 102 mph on a Team Durango DNX8 lightened with carbon fiber parts for a Typhon(Team Durango was the father company of Arrma so the geometry was 1 to 1). Get a good and larger clutch(Fioroni was my choice). You will have to have a custom clutch bell gear made of around 27 or 28 tooth and move your mounting blocks out of you have the space. Smaller spur would help also. Modify the air filter for greater back pressure, play with small restrictors on the carburetor like 6 or 6.5mm & upgrade all engine block bearings to ceramic if they aren't already. Find a narrow, high pressure exhaust pipe and upgrade all seals around(I'd recommend Novarossi seals). Here's an image of my Frankenstein before the custom clutch bell gear got installed:

This is huge help and I truly appreciate it, I'm saving up to buy it after Christmas, too many family presents taking all my money. I'm excited to get this project going so I will update once I have the engine mounted onto the Rustler do you have a video of that engine on a car, running?

The car I modded up is my profile pic. On that run though I switched over to GRP S5s because those tires on there turned to confetti a little over 70 mph! I have to dig through the Google cloud but I will PM you the clip when I find it.

Awesome, thank you! The car looks great btw; a true truggy. I'm learning little by little, this hobby gets expensive man.
