[H311RzR]

So I just finished moddine /breaking in the new 3.3 on the nitro sport...which comes with the traxxas .15 stock....uh this thing is wicked fast...its near impossible to keep the front wheels on the ground so a wheely bar and bigger fuel tankl are in the works....heres a video

Needs taller gear and you're running a tad lean. Good job so far, friend of mine has a Jato, it almost keeps up with my brushless 1/16 Revo, those 3.3's rip. Wheelies that easy remind me of the Shumacher N21XT Desert Storm that I used to have like 8 years ago - talk about overpowered much, lol. It could rip the front tires up on command when it's already travelling at 45mph. I have literally destroyed a set of pro-line street tires in ONE launch. I stayed in the throttle too hard and it wheelied, resting on the wheelie bar, and it spun the tires so hard it blew them to pieces. The motor was a thunder tiger .21 that I had ported and polished myself, nasty little bugger.

My first RC car was a Nitro Sport but it didn't even come with the Pro 15 engine....after blowing up the original pos stock engine the pro 15 install was awesome. It would burn the tires from a standing start but no wheelies.
Traxxas has come a long way since my last RC car which was the Monster Buggy that ran on pump gas.
The cost of parts gets to be excessive if you let it rip.
3.3 in a Nitro Sport or Rustler in frightening to think about....just use a 75 mhz FM transmitter so high power CB radios won't cause you to lose control.

Doesn't sound to me like it is running lean but with that kind of power a taller gear would be something to think about. The Schumacher you are refering to...is it the one with the yellow chassis? Overpowered yes but they are fun to watch and hear wide open.

Yes, I had the one with the bright yellow steel chassis. I had an early model - it was a single speed 2wd that I converted to a 3-speed. They still sell a similar truck, but it has changed so much. It's now 3 speed stock, 4wd, and has bigger tires.

That is awesome! I am surprised the differential doesn't get ripped to pieces.
