The cons of runing it like this or do my self a favor and get a new piston head and skirt I don't mind the price but sheesh 😳 ig
Was cleaning the motor, and when putting it back together pressed to hard moving the piston sleeve on and smacked the piston head on the crank shaft,
I do have a cen nx15 engine laying around if thats compatibale? but i still have to inspect it.
So I already had made a post about where to get t maxx nitro and was most definitely aiming to get a brand new t maxx , but I decided I've got quite a few electric models already to be getting a new model for that high price ( i gotta reevaluate my situation but never lol) i hopped on the facebook marketplace and see what was near me and and didn't disappoint on roller chassis for 100$,
but it came with the motor with good compression, i'd say I'm an amateur when it comes to nitro but I'm more of a electric rc kinda guy and am but thought id hop back in, I used to drive some a while back but it wasn't my rc nor did I tune it then, but I've been shown and watched things but there's always more to know.
--Okay but basically was doing a teardown all going well BUT stopped at the motor the heat sink head screws got stripped or already stripped? i blame myself i was to harsh on the last two i've removed strip bolts before on cars but this is tiny and so I wanted to know how to do this one its so narrow and in a hole, I can grab the side under the heat fin but I'm a bit bias about it so I thought id ask if anyone had this problem before and removed it--
and so I left motor for a later, I go over everything else was mostly just really dirty and scratched, all plastic and frame is good but only broken front skid plate and front left lower a arm, suspension is somewhat shot but not broken or bent i have shock oil so okay came with sevos working but sounded bad got spares and will check those out some time break pad worn, no air filter, carb is good removed it to clean better and needles are good, no battery or battery cover and that's it! Oh it came with nothing else but i have a extra transmitter and receiver already just had to order everything else for like 80$ +shipping not bad maybe I need more things till I finish inspecting everything but I doubt it or won't mind it
just want to be more careful with it.Cause it's got more mindful parts but I don't mind I like to take things apart, i just got a different way of doing it ig, I plan to make this a project idc how long it'd take me but mostly been on and off on it like 2 hours a day after work.
Hello i have had my far share of electrical models and want to go into nitro and had my eye on the t maxx just wasn't sure where to purchase and I have purchased on the traxxas website a bigfoot .But recently I noticed that it says in the shopping cart when at check out that it may require signature?.And i'm not sure if I'd be at home on the day if it does require one. And because of that, I was wondering what other website to purchase it to avoid?.And I know if I do I won't get the warranty?, but I guess I'm fine without it.Haven't had any reason to contact warranty for most of my things.I've Just taken good care of my things 🤷♂️ butt cant say perfect.
And an unrelated question that I thought I'd ask , I have traxxas nimh battery that has the clear plastic tearing in some places and was wondering what I could cover the battery without it , overheating , battery is still good and healthy tho ofc
