I have the motor out, and completely redid every seal on the thing today. I totally disassembled the exhaust and cleaned the holy heck out of it. I can actually see the rubber coupler now hahaha - it's blue!
I also have the body mounts off the thing, and I'm going to redrill them so that the body I have fits better. If, after all this work on the motor, I find it's still not good, I'm just going to drop some coin at the LHS soon and sport for the 3.3, much to the woman's dismay.
Now I'm just waiting for the 3.3 Maxx shocks I ordered to come in, so the thing doesn't look like a 1964 Impala on cruise night anymore
.
I also pressure tested the fuel tank and lines today - everything checked out great, so I'm hoping the seals on the engine do the trick!
Quick question: has anybody here ever put RTV on the pipe at the coupler? The more I look at it, the more that seems like an unnecessary, and possibly wrong, step.
Anyhow, just thought I'd throw down a quick update. I'm cleaning everything as it comes off, as well, so the thing is starting to look like a nice car again haha.
Thanks for everyone's help, here, you all have saved me a BUNCH of time, and given me a quick education in the world of nitro RCs!
