Whats up I'm new to all this i just bought a revo 2.5 with the 3.3 motor it was used and the guy said he got it in some water a while ago and that it will run for bout 15 min and then shutoff. It seems to run good up until then I'm not sure if its gettn to hot or not i have to get a battery for temp gauge. I'm not sure what to look for any ideas remember I'm new to all this so any help will be greatly appreciated THANKS YALL

i had the same problem with my tmaxx i put the 3.3 on my 2.5 and it was used. but it would run for a bout 15 or 20 minutes then shutoff. so i went through the whole engine and found that the cooling head wasn't completely sealed. so i took it off and put it back on and its been running awesome ever since.

also try tuning it up if that doesn't work.
 
Ok thanks alot bud ill try that ill let ya knw how it goes thnks man
 
yea sounds like the head to me, as well. once the engine gets hot and things expand, the gap becomes big. let us know!
 
if i were you i wouldnt run it again till i got a good temp sensor, you have no idea were the tune is, and could do fatal damage to that engine.....jus sayin...
 
Thanks guys i put a new motor and its running great I'm loving it
 
Sounds like you had the all too common half tank lean out issue.. after an engine is worn out pretty well they tend to act funny after some run time.
