^^ MAXX for sure, keep TRX with Traxxas

 

[cwal1774]

^^ Agreed! .15 Maxx chassis with 3.3 engine= Wheelie Monster! I just hope you upgraded the drivetrain to 3.3 axles and knuckles and arms.

 

[HPI-Killer]

I think his .15 is bone stock, oh well bolt it up anyway lol!

 

[Ballen]

not even close to stock what is the coolest temp you would break in a motor
wide max suspensiion
revo shafts revo axel carries
foc f,c, b, alum skids
alum chassi braces
wheelie bar.
and i belive rpm bumper.
70 challenger body and gravedigger body .

would like alum front and back bulks but don't have $$
and would like rpm arm but can't find them in the widemax .

are the 3.3 arms same as the wide max and if so would they fit ?
if i will get rpm 3.3 arms

 

[cwal1774]

Yeah they are the same width as are the RPM arms for the 3.3. I put a set on my T-MAXX 3.3 a couple years ago before i sold it. I would suggest gettting the RPM true track for the rear. It eliminates the rear tie rods and takes the guess work out of setting the rear wheel toe in. It did wonders for the handling of mine. HPI-Killer you might think about it for your Revo too if it dosen't already have it.

 

[Ballen]

Yeah they are the same width as are the RPM arms for the 3.3. .

so i guess they will work. ok
thank you

 

[Ballen]

and the winner ?

t max

what is the coolest temp you would break in a motor

Traxxas says no hotter than 270 but my jato had always ran about 280 with no problems one you get them broke in they are good motors

If it's below 60° outside you should think about wrapping the head.

The true track is nice, but the pivot ball will eventually pull through the carrier, and rpm's bearings suck.

 

[Ballen]

I will wrap the head but this is not brand new i had the sleeve repinched .

 

[Phins Fan]

I think Olds had touched on - you only need to do like a 2ish tank breakin before you start bashing the heck out of it anyway.

 

[Ballen]

as soon as i remember where i put the collar for the flywheel and the clutches i'm doin it up .Haven't had a fresh motor in a few years i CAN'T WAIT .

 

[2revo1maxx]

Olds said to treat it like a new engine. It's a matter of pinch though. Is it tight like a new engine or not so tight?

 

[Ballen]

I was surprised it is pretty tight . The way i like em .and i have not put a plug in and pulled it yet .so once i put in a plug it will be even tighter.ya it is guna be a beast to pull start. Or should i try the elcetric start .I think pull would be better ,just for the sake of the conrod.i would think pullstart would be less stress on it .

Well i just remembered what happened to my clutch and the rest .
PHINS FAN you got em on the 2.5 .LOL

 

[Phins Fan]

. You couldnt send the exhaust too?

 

[Ballen]

I had ta keep something for the 3.3 ...LOL guna cost me $30 for the parts so i can run the 3.3 . and about 15 for gas to go get the stuff.it's all good haven't bought anything new in a very long time

 

[HPI-Killer]

Yeah I am out of nitro at the moment... Sucks always being a part or 2 shy of bashing lol
