Traxxax T-Max & Revo
- Thread starter Kainedogg
- Start date
I had the Jato 2.5, now have the Revo 3.3 and the Slayer 3.3
Traxxas is the way to go, love the electric starter function~!~
Traxxas also has the upgrade option on their website and you can trade in the old blown motor either on the website or at your local shop and get 50% (I believe) off a new motor.
3.3 upgrade is a good way to go, much more power than the 2.5~!~
You can do a Picco or other, but some are very pricey upgrades (but worth it)~!~
If you go with one of the other upgrades, you'll probably need to replace your back plate unless you want a pull start, and then be sure to match up your crank shaft length etc. Sometimes can be a royal PITA~!~
I like the drop in replacements myself
"I think I just blew the motor on the T-Max" ---- Do you no longer have any compression pop if you roll the fly wheel with your finger~?~

They can be expensive if you like bashing them up...
39 and more toys than a 5 year old~!~
The Jato is fun to bash but really takes a lot of practive (and throttle control) to harnish the power and keep it straight in a race~!~

I just purchased a new Spektrum myself...great new radio technology~!~
Never had a gas RC vehicle. Used to race RC10s in the dirt and even converted it to an onroad truck for a while. Mostly did a lot of carpet racing with an RC10L pan car.
Had a blast with them for about 6 years, until finally all the area tracks closed and it all went by the wayside.

Maaan those superchargers are wicked~!~
I would not have one on my car though...too hard to keep in tune~!~
Have you seen the twin supercharger twin motor set ups~?~ Talking about a tuning nightmare...LoL
Supposed to create 5hp~!~
I have a T Max, Savage, OFNA Buggy, Cen and a XTM. That was two or three hobbies ago. Have not run them in years. Built a pretty gnarly track in the back field.
I've got a brand new in the box Sirio engine 1.8 drop in for a T Max and a XTM 24.7 Pro engine new in the box if anyone is interested PM me.

I'm still staring at an HPI 5T. Their 1/5 scale gas engined truck... I've got a lossi Mini-T in the garage right now otherwise I've had all sorts of cars and trucks over the years.
Very First was an associated RC10, That was the bomb, wish I still had the old thing.

Nice to know so many of my brothers have experienced the joy of nitro. As soon as I posted the original, I got home and fired up the Nitro 4Tec. I have geared down to about 50mph. Long story short, I missed my turn (converted to RWD) power slid into the curb. Never seen so much carnage on a miniature level I did the test and compression is good, so now I am stumped. Maybe its time to tinker with the low speed settings on the carb. It won't even turn over....maybe the electric motor is shot
