Not to mention a waste of a really nice Nova from 20 years ago.Necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly. I even considered putting my Paris Racing Nova BX21 into it, but that was more work than it’s worth. I’ve gone back and forth between running it on road and off road. It won’t wheelie for beans because the tires just spin. I have Revo tires on it now and they spin when it shifts into 2nd gear every time, and road rages spin like hard drag slicks. I’ll probably need to put foam tires on it to get any sort of speed from it. Post videos of your Jato once it's ready, eh?I absolutely will.

Most of my RCs I own (the ones Im keeping and not selling off) are electrics getting converted TO nitro. Nothing I have is anywhere close to stock. My problem is, I can't leave well enough alone. As you can see in those videos, the thing drives like an electric (power wise) and that's only an entry level dynamite 28 RTR engine in there. I agree some small trucks should have small engines. I want to see if the Franken3.3 can get me to 70 and NOT pull a wheelie hitting 2nd gear. How fast can a 3.3 really go in a stock Jato? Mine could only muster 61.5mph with stock 24/54 gears, 2-chamber resonator (stock), and a fresh 3.3 with 1.25 gallons of fuel run in it. I’ll document the breaking in, and some reasonable abuse in a Jato. Otherwise the rest will be stock Traxxas. The engine I’m doing right now has the Sirio rod and a modified & bored Macy 427 carburetor (modified to fit the 3.3 case, 7.2mm choke). With a better conrod, some minor crank work, and a bigger carb and they’re easily 1.2hp engines. Same story with my last one (it was stolen along with ALL of my RC stuff a few years ago). I’ve run airplane tuned pipes on it, 40% nitro, 0% nitro, and it just won’t quit. It’s my beater engine - I paid $15 for it. I have a bone stock 3.3 that has over 9 gallons through it - 6 of which I ran in it (of my own blending). Run it warm on a good fuel and you can easily get 10 gallons from one. The number one failure in the engine is the conrod. 🤷🏾*♂️The worst thing people do to make these engines fail - run them too cold and rich during break-in. That being said I’ve seen a few people had problems as well. I tried every option in the revo and always reverted to the 3.3, I would get 5- 6 gallons racing these lil engines and for the price that was awesome. I personally agree with everything you said here.
