well., I guess after 25 years playing with nitro I'm also one of those idiots lol.
3 split rods... 2 tmaxx, 1 revo.
I seriously doubt Traxxas would continue to sell these engines
if there was a serious quality problem.
why not? they keep selling the tmaxx. I guess those same idiots keep buying it?
Besides, the 3.3 and 2.5 use the same rod. How come i never see any 2.5's with split rods?
thats part of the whole issue, the rod can't handle the stress of the 3.3, and it can not handle WOT runs for log periods of time.
Sorry, still not buying it.
you don't have to, is your personal opinion.
Just google search (trx 3.3 rod failure, or 3.3 fail)
Oh, and aftermarket parts exist because people buy them. Just because they sell it doesn't mean you need it. Example: anything Integy.
we are talking about a rod... not just any other part.
