Hi Slim,
We dont really meet up to run the MT's at all only myself and my son hop into a field and mess about. We must arrange a proper meet someday when i find a place suitable with a few humps etc.

Rebuilding the Revo at the moment.( getting treated to a 3.3 along with other stuff)

Soon now..

Just waiting to win the Lotto.. :rolleyes:

SLIM19198

you got a new 3.3 engine or a new 3.3 revo?

If the engine, would you be willing to part with the old engine? ( i got a revo here in need of an engine and dont want the hassle of returning the old engine for a 3.3 upgrade if money can be saved elsewhere ;-) )

Hi bud.
Yeah, It is a new 3.3 engine going in there but unfortunately the old 2.5r is prebooked.. That is going into my sons T-Maxx ( remember the one last year?)
Well the engine died so I am putting mine in there for him.
I am also going to have a look at his old one to see what it would take to rebuild it ,If it can be done cheaply enough I will sell it on and recoup some of the cost of the 3.3

Cheers

How much did you pay for the 3.3 as traxxas offer a lifetime engine replacement plan, 140 dollars and your old engine shipped back to them and you get a brand new 3.3 back from them!!!

What exactly was the problem with that engine again?

SLIM19198

oh yeah, i think i have a couple spare revo engine heads here, if it needs one!

My engine is a big block, I can start it but cannot get it to keep running!!!

Might just sell the lot and buy a jato :P

Register with them to receive their email newsletter and they will end you a code to use on your first order to the value of $20 .. use that to cover the shipping costs.;)
OH
Dont use the UPS shipping or like me you could get caught for Import tax etc. :rolleyes:

£56 for this one

SLIM19198

Ya but you cant send them on OS engine as repalcement unit?

SLIM19198

I have a bog standard engine in a box in the cupboard, looks like its wrote off but would do to get a replacement !!!

HEHE

vectra

But,
By you doing that. what would the cost of shipping your one the thew US be?
Would it not be cheaper to register with Tower Hobbies to receive their newsletter.. Use the $20 discoun towards sending a new 3.3 to you.. that way I reckon it would end up cheaper.;)

Plug

Na its a much smaller engine the 3.3. Best drop in is the os.30 engine. I don't use the ship thingy and idont use ups, the one lrft out is the one i always pic

SLIM19198

ok, the replacement engine is 130 US plus 30 us for P&P

the 3.3 on tower is 152.99 not including shipping, or vat!!!!

Prolly work out about the same, only you get to keep your old engine for parts!!!

Plug

Yeah i keep my old engine for parts, the only problem with it was the slieve and piston, everything else is top notch, i even have a brand new carburetter.

SLIM19198

Whats worse is, I have a box here with a brand new carb, and spare heads for the original engine, just dont have no head screws to attach the head and nowhere in cork sells em!!!

I ordered some from modelsport at the start of the summer, but they sent the wrong ones and when i complained, they said thats all they have

Plug

I have a 5 spare

SLIM19198

you have 5 spare screws?

Can i have em please?

Plug

I'll check later for them.
