ok ive been doing nitro rc for 5 years now and the first truck i owned was a tmaxx i liked it but i didnt know about the breaking the engine(i was excited), that engine let out so much smoke i thought it would blow up. so i went out and bought another engine for it this one i broke in and it was perfect and another issue i ran into was when i got the new motor it didnt let out much smoke but after a few months of intense driving it started to let more smoke out
the reason why most nitros let out a lot of smoke is because they are tuned for preformance not really to last long. if you let more gas and air into the motor it will let out less smoke but causes you to have a horrible preformance my truck stayed low rpms and never even made it to 2nd gear
the point im trying to get across is that nitros dont always act the same some let out more smoke some let out less it all depends on the engine, fuel, and tuning

They are both Nitro. I have a REvo myself, and they put out little smoke on low RPM's... And you can see the smoke whenever they rev the engine... But I cannot see the whole in the body were the motor would stick up, nor an exhust pipe sticking out... So I kinda doought ti is nitro..

i cant really remember the name of what its called but it makes your whole tmaxx all metal (everything except for tank) i found it in a rc 411 mag and what it does is widen and lengthen it and in total its a big block engine upgrade there will be more space on the chassis for a big block and the chassis is lowered to have a lower center of gravity (my truck still has 5in. ground clearance) then really all you have to do is find big tires and cut the foams right
i wish i still had that mag i could tell you the tires i got all i can describe them as is there suppost to be 2x bigger then the stock tires soo there big and have a lot of grip

low end torque is possible from a nitro truck, im not sure if it would need to be custom or not. i dont have much experience at all with rc trucks but i have a ton of the real thing, basically if your trucks engine doesnt have the torque for crawling, gear reduction is your friend. if you look at the toyota based rock crawlers right now that are getting very popular the engines dont have much torque at all, but they run very low gears in their axles, and transfer case(s), ending up with huge gear reduction. whichever parts are available for the revo to accomplish the gear reduction neccesary i have no idea, but thats how to make it happen. it doesnt seem like the revo would be an ideal platform for a rock crawler because of the independent suspension however, i bought my revo to go fast, i can go slow in my truck all day long. sorry to drag this up, hope this helps!

That's the kicker. In order to get nitro to crawl, you gotta do some serious work. A complicated tranny (expensive), cooling (expensive), clutch (a serious can-o-worms), etc. Much easier and more economical to do electric.
But I appreciate you digging up this thread. It was a good chuckle. Not because of the nitro can crawl thing, mostly because of the 13 year old know-it-alls that can't even spell
