hey guys I am new to nitro not rc cars i used to race eletric off road. I have a nitro truck .... got it for 45 bux and it runs and drives and has quite a few after market parts on it. its a losi nxt. I would like to throw out the dynamite .12 and go for the os max .15 but i dont know what i will have to change along with the engine. any help would be appreciated.

I need to know, is the exhaust port on the back or side of the engine. The back of the engine means it is pointing towards the side of the car and the side means it is pointing towards the back. If it is a side exhaust engine the o.s. engine will drop perfectly into the car if not let me know.

the exuast runs to the side of the engine... exit towards the rear of the car. well my lame pull starter broke today so now the new engine is sounding even more in my mind. plus this motor no matter wut i do when it fires it runs then dies... then it wont fire again.. compression loss. ive had the engine out b4. but it just wont run and stay running.

If the car was used it sounds like it was definetly worth the 45 bux you bought it for. The engine sounds like its pretty bad. I would go ahead and get the new engine. Also when you look at the carb tell me which side the screw is on.

the carb screw is on the left next to the spur gear.... i actually got it running but it is gutless.. the reason i am asking for help is so i have a good idea of what i need b4 i go out and spend the money

Do you have a digital camera. if you do take a picture of it and send it to me. I have just never heard of the losi nxt.

ya i can do that i just wont be able to get it to you till sunday night. i appreciate the help though

yah it sounds like you arent getting any fuel to the engine but then again you paid 45 bucks so you got what you asked for.

YEah just get me a pic and that will really get me going on your problem. I jst need to see the engine to be able to know some dimensions.
