OK,
Another attempt at geting his T-Maxx running yesterday..
As the engine was spinning it sounded "different"
Was spending a bit of time checking everything when i decided to check the cooling head for tightnes... Picked up the allen key to check the 5 bolts when my son saidWhen you put that head on last week didnt you say that two of the screws wouldnt tighten?
Well I thought to myself.." Now I know what the strange sound was" Some 14 year old tried to tighten them when i was not with him....
Ah well.. I guess it is well and truly fekked now..
Deffo needs a new engine...
Right... Decision time, What to buy?
2.5r for his T-Maxx... Or stretch the already choked pocket and buy a 3.3 for me revo and pass on my perfect 2.5r to him.. :rolleyes:
or maybe someone will suggest another engine altogether? ( NOT BIGBLOCK)
I want a direct drop in replacement that will be
1) good
2) reliable
3) easy to tune
4) I wont have to upgrade my drivetrain
5) I KNOW PLUG WILL SAY GO WITH THE 3.3

If I thought for one minute that a crankcase would sort it then I would gladly take it off you.
But.
I am done with this engine and just want to see the back of it.. Maybe in a week or so i might take it and rebuild this one from the ground up ... Then sell it to my buddy with the tmaxx 1.5 pro.. 0 -

Rang the Model shop in Waterford today.
To do the Traxxas ERP these are the prices i was quoted..
Exchange 2.5 for a new 2.5r= €196
Exchange 2.5 for a new 3.3 = €224 :eek:
Bloody Bandits..
I have a firm bid on a 3.3 in the States at the moment.
lets see how it goes.. :rolleyes:0 -

OK,
I am about to give up on bidding so i have looked at this option
Brand New Traxxas REVO 2.5R Racing Engine Complete with New Glow Plug
No clutch...No Flywheel.. No Carb.. £65
Now. I can go for the 3.3 exactly the same gear missing for £100 but at the minute it is a bit out of my range..:(
OK
I know I have all of those myself but what would the chances be that the Carb on the T-Maxx is faulty? 0 -

The thought had crossed my mind but I realised that if I spend too much on it one or two things would happen.
1) I would be afraid to enjoy it over the expense of it ..:o
Or
2) The wife would throw me out.. 0 -
