You will need an exhaust header as the 2.5r and 3.3 engines are rear exhaust and the pro .15 is side exhaust (I'm assuming you have a pro .15). You might also need a different exhaust hanger too. If your going to put a 2.5r in it you will need the conversion kit [link=http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDAJ8&P=M]found here[/link] and it comes with the parts you'll need for the exhaust.

Sounds like your engine is stuck at top dead center. Try taking out the glow plug and turn the flywheel by hand. If you can't turn it over then you might have seized the engine (which I doubt) Let us know what you find out.

Today i was out driving my nitro sport. i have had it for awhile and it has always ran great and i even had it out last night and it was awesome. so today i fueled her up and started it. i was just slowly putterin around to warm up the engine. i did a couple high speed passes and suddenly it stalled. i went over to try and start it but nothing happened. all i could hear was a clicking sound. i replaced the glow plug but still the same problem. i replaced the battery in my ez starter and still nothing. did i blow somethin up or what. Thanks for your help

What does the nitro rustler have. it is a side exhaust and it has a 2.5.

The exhaust runs along the side of the car BUT it exits the rear of the engine.. on the pro .15 it exits on the side of the engine

Yes, but one comes with the pro .15 to 2.5 conversion kit which you will need to put the 2.5 in your sport.

ok so through traxxas i can get the 85 dollar pro. 15 to 2.5r replacement plan and the 25 dollar conversion kit. then i put all that on my nitro sport but instead of the pipe it comes with i put the blue anodized one i have. that will work? and which would provide better performance the on in the conversion kit or the blue anodized one?

correct. I'm not sure which pipe will work best, but you can easily try them both and find out for yourself. Also you will need a different ez-start as the pro .15 is different. If I was you though I'd either get a roto-start backplate or pull start and further save some weight and add more speed to your sport

RE: Official Traxxas Nitro Sport Thread!!
I have a 3.3 in my sport with a pull-start. It takes me about 3 pulls to start it after I prime it. This way I only have to carry a glow starter in my pocket in case I kill the motor. I actually have found it's easier to use the pull start than the ez-start. I think this is because it's easier to flood the engine with the ez-start. This is my opinion and others have theirs. My second choice would be a roto start type system. These have the benefits of weight loss, but the draw-back of having to carry a starter or drill. I don't feel they turn the engine over fast enough to start it all the time and sometimes can be a pain. I just installed a big block in my Revo and I broke the pullstart after the first tank, so I'm going to a tiger drive system to start it since I already have a starter for it. Plus it's a ***** trying to pullstart a big block engine, lol. The TRX engines aren't that hard to pull.... Hope my ramblings have helped you a bit.

Is the pro.15 truly easy to tune and way easier to start than the 2.5r and 3.3. i am wonderin because i dont run this thing all day and dont have all day to tune a 3.3 or 2.5. to compared to the pro.15 are they really harder to tune and get started

I think all TRX motors are easy to tune. I wouldn't say that any one of them is much easier or harder than the next. As far as starting I feel the same too. IMO Traxxas has some of the easiest engines to tune and start.

RE: Official Traxxas Nitro Sport Thread!!
To tell you the truth from my experience with my 3.3 is that I only have to tune it if the weather changes dramatically. I think it all depends on how much performance your needing out of the motor. I run mine rich so it will last longer, but by doing so I lose some power. Well in my sport which doesn't weigh much at all this motor is still too much for it, even running super rich. I've had to add a wheelie bar and bigger tires to keep it from flipping and burning the rubber off the smaller tires. Honestly if your not very experienced in driving it you will crash it in 5 seconds. I have learned my lesson a few times, haha. But I did love my pro .15 too and it was a heck of a motor.

RE: Official Traxxas Nitro Sport Thread!!
I just bought two nitro sports and a t-maxx 3.3 and i love 'em. I got the NS's two days ago and i've already added a carbon fiber shocktower, dirthawgs, changed the oil in my shocks. These are my first r/c's, i've spent my whole life building 1:1's and i can't get over how cool these are, i'm already an addict. I'm sure i'll be posting in here alot more often....

I just bought two nitro sports and a t-maxx 3.3 and i love 'em. I got the NS's two days ago and i've already added a carbon fiber shocktower, dirthawgs, changed the oil in my shocks. These are my first r/c's, i've spent my whole life building 1:1's and i can't get over how cool these are, i'm already an addict. I'm sure i'll be posting in here alot more often....

RE: Official Traxxas Nitro Sport Thread!!
well i ripped apart my pro.15 and i found the problem. the wrist pin and connecting rod came out of the head of the piston. i got parts from my local hobby shop and put her back together. i broke it in and i think that it runs better now than it ever has. Thanks for all your help guys.
