I am pretty good at rebuilds and have had a lot of success, but every time I watch your videos, I learn something new. Thanks!

I'm only halfway through and you're cracking me up..good video Ricky ( Trailer Park Boys)

Its winter here in montana but I just fired up the old Traxxas 2.5r and I'm learning so much more now than when I was 13.

Golden spectro. Old school. Love it. It's all i ran back in the 80's and still do today.

Wish I could get my hands on one of those HD 3.3 rods. Thank you for these videos I replaced my 3.3 bearings, rod and pin after break in. Hopefully will give it a longer life

Your videos are very informative. Keep up the GREAT WORK!

I love you comments during the video.

This is the best TRX 3.3 or 2.5 rebuild video on KZfaq

Love the video man, as always, keep it up. Btw when you were talking about cleaning out the little port in the front of the case, I pull one of the bristles out of a steel/brass wire brush. Holding it with some pliers, run it back and fourth in the hole. it's stiff and will break up all the junk so you can blow it out with carb cleaner

Absolutely love the commentary. Definitely has a Red Green show feel 🤣

You are amazing tell it straight awesome delivery two thumbs up I broke a rod and piston I feel very confident about rebuilding thanks to you

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! And keep burning nitro!

gr8 videos!!.. thanx soo much ! exactly what I needed... just getting back into hobby after a decade off lol👍🏽 much mahalo from hawaii🤙🏽NITRO!!

Nice video, enjoy the information Love tinkering It had but taken one of these apart yet

Great vid. Next best thing to rebuild my own engines is to watch you and others do it 😂 Thanks for the vid

Great Video, Happy Thanksgiving

Awesome channel !!!

Sweet video bug, enjoyed it

Another epic video 👍

thank for making this videos bro nitrogang

I hate the stock clutch spring for the 3.3 I’ve blown 3 clutch springs after one gallon of fuel….. I got some advice from the old guy at my local hobby shop and he said to replace the bearings and don’t give it full throttle from at stop all the time. So far so good. If it happens again I’m getting an aftermarket clutch. I already put my nitro slash away for the winter here in northern Illinois with high a quality 2 stroke oil.

Great work

Bro great video man. Thanks bro

Man I used that golden specto even way back in the 80s

4:12 🤣 “novelty item” followed by smokers cough.. All jks aside: I’d like to see the bowl/cig yr lightin with that Hoss

Looking good pal nice video

Thank you again for all the help. Just got a new wirst pin and new acer bearings. Btw the bearings are on sell for 17.99$ each US. You rock man!

Great tech tip 👊👍

You deserve far more subscribers, new to the hobby but keep ending back up on your videos. You have a way with words 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video thanks for the info

Yesterday I got half an hour run time on my 2.5 -T Max on fuel half an hour run time amazing

9:20 I slumped over when that knife came at me😂😂

Good fuel goes along way with not trashing the internals!

good stuff 💯

Hey bug: love your videos,but I didn’t catch the name of the upgrade rod I’m going to rebuild my 3.3, thanks a bunch my friend…

I didn't know AvE did RC. Skookum! ;)

Great video I'm new to the whole Nitro RC building but plan to build a No Prep Drag Truck with the Slayer 3.3 & rebuilding the motor is best for Drag Racings Hard Runs. Was the piston & Rod Upgrade from a 3.3HD motor or ?? Was it just stock 3.3 motor just new rod & piston with pin? Thank you again & keep building I'm learning tons

Basically I'm asking what crank, Rod & Piston Upgrade combo did you use in the 3.3 would like to do myself after break in for my drag build

Hello sir great channel.. I love your vids and commentary. I run the 3.3 in a mudboss setup on dirt oval. It is basically treated as an open class so I wanted to build a decked out engine for it. It would appear that Mr. Davis has passed away and the connecting rod you used in this video is no longer available. Do you know of an alternative to upgrade the rod? I also want to run the Losi 3.4 carb. Thank you

I have a classic 2.5 tmaxx took out the 2.5 put 3.3 saw that video and saw that os carb gonna put won on my 3.3 motor right now its just the stock won

im gonna wach your video thats sure

Learn that opening the piston pin clip goes down (at 6 o'clock) or up because at 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock the speed of the piston can make it close so get out of the groove and break the piston and the sleeve.

any thoughts.

How has that hot racing clutch set up been treating ya? Any good? Also did you use the lighter or heavier springs in the package?

Go job

I didn’t catch it,,,,but which way does the open end of the piston face into the block,,,Thankyou 🇺🇸🚘👈

Zip ties is mine I love his Channel and yours Channel

i also think it doesnt reverse gear to well either.

I don’t see any connecting rods on fb mods website. They have bearings and the Trx modification but no connecting rod

Is there an upgraded crankshaft that you would recommend for this engine?

greeat video

As far as the poisonous gas from the chlorinated brake clean that’s welding. You’re supposed to clean your metal with non-chlorinated brake parts cleaner if you’re going to weld over it because the chlorinated one puts off that poisonous gas

I know youve mentioned Lucas air lube for after run, what about using it like you do the 2 stroke oil? Just curious so when my parts come in i can put it together the bug way

What’s a good replacement carb for the traxxas 3.3…. I am not satisfied with the stock one at all…great stuff. Thankyou

How long have you had your Traxxas engines last by doing this? Very informative video. Had no idea those parts wore so fast on engine break-in only! Would have to give this a try. I'm new to this hobby. Another question, wouldn't it be best to use the flat part of a number drilled bit to press in the two spring clips on the piston once they're already inside? It would have to be a drill bit with a slightly less diameter of course for a loose fit.

also i think i have a new issue with my 3.3 thats sat for a whyle.i cant pull my pull start i think somins seized.

How did you get the 3.3 cooling fins to fit on the 2.5? I have an extra one from a 3.3 and was going to put it on my 2.5 and couldn't get the screws to line up no matter what way i put it on

where did you get your bearing NTN bearing from im look

After a rebuild do you have to do another break in cycle?

Are you able to get TNR fuel where you are. Where do you order from?

now i find out that the 3.3 has a bad rep.what is this bad rep and why is less power better.(2.5).what issues does it have??

You might call me a penny pincher but from what I've noticed is there complete hpi blocks with new bearing in them already for 2 to 3$ Wich is cheaper than a set of bearing I wish there was a chart for witch brand have what size bearing in them in a hpi 3.5 4.1 bearings fit a sh28 I couldnt find a sh28 internal bearing for less than 16$ just for one bearing lol that being said I do fill kinda bad scraping out the bear hpi blocks but iv got all new bearing in several different big block engine for about 3$ for the set I'm glad that the nitro engine I have share similar parts they seem to be all 1/8 scale monster trucks/trophy typed engines RTR I noticed I never really used any thing Traxxas except servos and filters and easy start set ups that about it a lot of there stuff seems like it's electric now I run hpi and red cat trucks and any nitro engine that big block that share similar parts a nitro engine blue print cart for each brand would be awesome for nitro engine guys have I guess I'm surprised for a hobby that Ben around for year no one's ever got together and built a master nitro engine book. like the have for for each real car company brand would help keep the coast down instead of paying close to 20$ for about a 5$ or less bearing. IV recently been to a bearing supply company and it was way cheaper but don't tell them what it's for because all of a sudden price strange it changes. like a skate board bearing cheaper than the same rc engine bearing go figure it the same bearing number I don't care what it says it goes to any was that my rant have a great one till the next one happy holidays go nitro 👍👌✌️💯🍗

CanI use oil ( Lucas break in oil) from building 350 4 bolt is it fine to use (Lucas )

Why do you have to freeze the crank and bearings? Also great vid man 🤘

Where you get the HD rod from

Need hot plug fo 3.3 with one to buy

I can’t believe the stock main bearings are so cheap

Is it OK to run a 3.3 carb on a 2.5 ?

If brake cleaner gets burnt, the smoke can kill you.

Where do you get the connecting rod from

Hello sir, I would like to know where I can get this connecting rod? Greetings from Hungary

yeah shame they cant do a decent exhaust system that makes more a low pitch grumble rather then an high pitch irritating whine.

Do your straight to the point

Best bearings to get for the 3.3?

Just caught your Chanel awsome you know you shit .

Where to find a rod?

You must be Canadian? :)

It's not only $4 when you lose your pin you gotta use 10 bucks of gas going to the hobby store coming back plus you gotta go to the bear store and pick up some cold shots cause you wasted so much f****** time that you lost your pen

Mustard Gas 🤔

THANKSGIVING…lots of turkey,and beer,,,,I’m a total waste case…..damn tryptophan….🇺🇸👈🚘. 🥴🥴🥴

Dude like wasted my time because I still can't figure out how to get the piston and sleeve out but his FUCKING HANDS ARE IN THE WAY

not really a upgrade more a swap out

Hey bud got a question that GS .18 I got the crank sticks out really far and the tip is threaded like the dynamite and not c-clip like the traxxas can I cut it. The threads go really far so I’m not to worried about that. Do you have Facebook.
