Review: JL .28 MAX

[Cat]

I recently purchased this engine, I owned it for a about a month now. And i thought i will write a few words about it.

Long story short i purchased a new revo 3.3. The reason why i decided to purchase this engine that my original Trx 3.3 had an airleak since day one. Since traxxas refused to take care of it.

So I bought:

• THS Pipe
• OS LC4
• Ofna revo mount
• OFNA JL .28 MAX
• Steal Gears (Wide)

Installation was straight forward remove the old stuff, and replace with the new.

Break-in i just followed the manual. However it run very with o'donnel RTR fuel. But then i switched to nitrolux. Wow what a huge difference in temp.

Tuning: Lean and lean until you get good performance then check temp. How touched the needles after they were set the first time.

So after 2 stripped pinion gears i decided to buy the RR steal gears for the tranny.

So yeah if looking for power that is less then the OS.21. Good with the JL .28!!
5/5 Best upgrade for the Revo 3.3!!
