Nitro rustler

[Brady D]

I’ve got a brand new rustler and out of the box the spur gear rubs the intake. I’ve twisted the intake some but it stays roughly the same distance how can I fix it?
It was rubbing on the first tank ever ran through it.

Welcome to tye site. If you take the air filter off, you will see a 3mm nut at the base of thr carb. Loses it with a nut driver or the included 4way. Rotate the carb and retighten the nut.

On a side note it must be old stock. I don't see any silver 2.5 engines. It's all the 2.5r. Same motor just a silver head.

Not to mention the phillips head screws... surely they're not still using those on the nitro models.

I bought it two days ago from my local hobby store they were excited when me and my buddy bought the only nitros they had I guess they had sat there for a while.

Will I need to retune the carb after?

No carb tuning will be needed for this adjustment. If it's different temp, moisture, and parametric pressures it will need tuned.

Gonna be honest. Traxxas doesn't have any offbody shots anymore. I see them with silver heads or after market mills. A few have blue heads but are heavily modded.

I'm thinking it may still be silver head and Phillips screws.
