Hello everyone. My very first hope not to be my last post. From what I've seen you have great knowledgable people here so I joined. I'm a soon to be hybrid electric and nitro lover. I hear all the arguments for both and think they both have great uses. I only know electric right now and I'm fresh back into RC again. Back when I ran we didn't have LiPo or brushless and I've learned alot and I'm loving the new tech! I remember having to use diff stiffness of springs to get more low end torque for brushed motors lol.
So now it's time to get into the smell and sounds of nitro finally. I got an amazing deal on Ebay with a older Revo that is in amazing shape BUT has not run in years. I'm thinking maybe ill need a new motor but at the price i paid WHO CARES . ill even upgrade to 3.3 maybe.
My questions are not on tuning, there are countless YouTube vids for that. My question are on what do you experienced vets think my chances are of reviving a motor that was broken in properly many years ago then put up for years. And prob didnt use an after oil of sorts. I love discussions so whatever you got for me to read I'd love to see it.
I may even buy a lesser model new nitro to get the feel for operation and maintenance then come back to this as an engine rebuild/ upgrade project
