t-maxx 3.3 engine help

[rooksy89]

My tmaxx 3.3 engine is really hard to turn the kick start Wont turn it at and I can barely crank it with my hand it's so tight. Also I have a 4 tec 2.5 that's pretty much a parts car now but the engine runs would it run the tmaxx well enough? If the engines can't be fixed I'll be upgrading it in a month or two what would be a good engine?

Have you tried warming your 3.3 engine up with a hair dryer before trying to start it? It will make it hell of a lot easier to start, also if your using the EZ start wand with the blue wire attached to the glow plug get rid of the blue wire and invest in a glow starter to heat your glow plug up that will give your EZ start more power to turn your 3.3 over.
Sorry forgot to mention your 2.5 will power your t maxx just as good as your 3.3 will when it is tuned properly, also it is a direct fit into t maxx without any mods necessary.

Thanks got the 2.5 in there feels like such a downgrade lol I haven't tried warming it but it feels like something is catching when it manages to turn over by hand and I just snapped something aswell think I'm just going to put it in the to hard basket and get a new Motor know of any good ones under $200

The Picco .21 seems to be a good choice, it's right at the limit of your $200 budget though.
