I think my clutch needs to be replaced but it still rips. Hopefully I get some more time to take it to my local track. Got it tuned and it’s running great.

Barely have 1 gallon through this motor. This is my 2nd 3.3. First one only lasted 2 gallons. And I did my own proper break in(not Traxxas) 2 tanks idle, 3rd low rpm. Not until the 6 tank I would go wot but still kept rpms lowish. Only wot after I used a whole quart. Both engines. Only reason why I went with a 2nd was for the trade in for 50% off. Is it even worth it to swap the bearings? Only reason why I kept the 3.3 was because it’s plug and play. I know the os motor is an option but I don’t see the value in that and the 3.3 with a better carb is enough for this car. If I want something faster I run my 8ight xt with a fully modified .28 Novarossi. Which also has lasted me 8 gallons!
In all honesty the OS carb adds a ton of low end and with taller gears still wheelies. When it’s running right.
Any decent bearings that don’t cost the price of a new 3.3 with a trade it?

Yes I know I don’t have an airfilter on I took it off to make sure my carb was opening properly.
