whoa you actually run that thing!! Must be heavy. There are actually a couple things stocks though, well a few. Your airfilter, wheels and tires, and your body. But she's really shiny!

a rb323 is faster than a 3.3 im pretty sure. But a well tuned t-maxx 3.3 with a set of tires has pretty good chance at beating you because yours is REALLY heavy i'd imagine.

Did you notice any increase in running temps with the carbon chassis?

that didnt work out so well ... after soaking the motor and carb in new fuel. i changed the fuel line and cleaned out the tank. once i got the engine to run I started to try and tune it but the peice that connects to the starter and the pin and the bottom of the rod cracked causing metal to go threw out the block and caused the rod to brake the case open
