ok i have a tsias rear exhaust and i just got a new 18 cvrx and i need to know if it would be ok to break in with that pipe on it, or should i put the stock composite pipe on it for break in, somebody please help me

you can use that pipe to break it in..just make sure u do the break in right

yeh im gunna make sure i do break in the right way, but im goin crazy cause i got the slide carb so i ordered the the slide throttle and i just got an email from the guy i ordered it from and he said that he forgot to ship it so now i have to wait another week for it to get here and it should have been here a little after xmas, im about to put my old engine back on just so i can run my truck a little[:@][:@]

i wander if a trx 3.3 would fit into the mt2..

i think it might..

it does but i think you have to get a big block conversion kit for your my2, but i think you would just be better off getting a os 18tz its lighter and possibly more power

hey 46u do u recommend the hpi savage x ss kit. what is the engine like? if i was to get the savage x ss. should i keep the engine or sell it to get a lrp 28 spec 3?. ive heard there is a problem called "lean bog" or something not entirely sure what the name is. but its were peoples savage x cuts out through half a tank?. just gimmie your opinion, im hoping to get one in around 3 months.

the savage x-ss engine is hands down hpi's best engine djheptic..do not replace it..if u buy the kit it is a mad machine pumps out mad torque and a nice high end and durable

i had a savage ss but i sold it to my friend, biggest mistake of my life but he gave me a good price $655 and it was all stock and slightly used, but that engine kicked ass it had sooo much power and was very user friednly, i highly reccomend it

The 3.3 even thaw is a .20 is not a big block and Traxxas does everything there way and not uniform to all the others so from what I have read it will not drop in to a small block mount either with out modifications. This is why they have special engines for Traxxas like the OS TM. But yes I am sure you can make it fit but in my opinion would not be worth it. The OS engines have more tourque.

I really like my Savage 4.6SS older version with MANY gallons of run time. Set up for racing.

hey guys...need some help again. I can not keep my fly wheel tight on the cone so alls it does is spin. Is it ok to put a shim in front of the fly wheel, behind the nut that holds the fly wheel on the cone? Any thoughts as to why this started happening? Thx in advance. Since being on this thread I have fixed a lot of problems that I could get done before

all i can say is make sure everything is screwed down tight

a 3.3 easily beats a normal o.s cv-r or other series..except the tz's

i know this trust me..4-tec and a revo 3.3 ownt by cousin

btw 46u u do know about the .18 tz eb modded right? i heard they last longer then the regular tz'r and have better performance?

dude u sold ur friend a savage for 655.. dam u ripped him off bad

lol true..ripping friends off

well it wasnt completely stock i had exhaust and a few aluminum parts and it was a savage x ss with radio equioment but yeah i did get a good price on it

well it wasnt completely stock it had exhaust and a few aluminum parts and it was a savage x ss with radio equipment but yeah i did get a good price on it but dont tell him lol.... oooops posted twice

i think u got more than all those parts and the savage new lol

crob how old r u again? was it u or mura said they were 16?

isnt fort lee a army base?

Would any of you guys recommend the HPI Nitro Star 18SS engine as an upgrade from the basic T-15 engine?

I want to buy an engine that'll fit in as easily as the T-15 does (i.e - attaches to the servo without much fuss, etc)

I've got engine mounts.

just get the os 18cvrx its cheaper and has more power
