My Traxxsa rustler is running like a champ, ive had this car for ever and i just put a 2.5r in it last year and i fixed it today due to 1.Completely tearing the gears apart 2. broken shock tower 3. glueing tires for the 40th time. just got done driving it and i drove a full tank run time about 30-35 minutes and the hottest temp. it reached was 140F...wow this motor is amazing its about 70-75 degrees outside.

same as you although if i have a tank or two of 3/4th's being WOT then it reaches a scary 330

although i see it help the rest of the tanks out after that one high temp run.sort of allows the engine to open up a little ya know

yea i couldnt believe it to and i was driving it like i usually drive it somewhat like high speed runs but i like to get off the throttle and get back on it and it always makes it wheelie.

my car has no special things done to the motor either just a better air filter and a traxxas resonator single chamber pipe, which only has like 3 tanks through it.

you might wanna be a lil concerned about your run time- 30-35 on one tank is extremely rare even for me just idling around ...i think it may be lean thats why it was running so good. just a suggestion if not have fun dude.

I hate to split hairs and I'm not trying to start a flame war but I have to say unless you have a 290cc fuel tank, there is no way you can get run times like that

if it was running lean it would be way hotter than 140 degrees...... my friend has a 2.5r in his t-maxx and it will run really really good and the second it runs out of gas he goes over and picks it up by the motor sometimes... and than some days it gets hot and runs the same way... its weird.... if it runs good and isnt super hot run it!!!

well not necasarily his temps may not be 140...the lense on my temp gun got dirty and it red i was -6 degrees and excessive temps on my engine when it was opperating at normal temps....just saying 140 is unheard of unless running a nova head or a monster sized cooling head. so 140 sounds farfetched and 30-35 minutes on a 75cc tank yeah and i am the queen of england right? but something doesn't exactly sound right here

it is possible to get 30 minute run times, and if it was too lean, he would burn a gloe plug, a few days ago i got around 25 minutes while doing high speed runs across the 300 yard+ dirt field behind my house. i couldnt believe it! and the engine wasnt even hot, i dripped a drop of water on it and it didnt sizzle...maybe we just got them tuned pretty well? i looked at my glow plug afterwards and it looked a little rich...who knows, all i know is it is possible
