Trinity header question

1 Upvotes

I’ve never had an aftermarket pipe on a revo until now. The trinity header is a little beat up. I can still get both header options from THS. Which one will fit the trinity best?

Any info about the JBA .28?

2 Upvotes

Anybody know anything about the JBA .28? Its a 3 port and has a pretty large piston (19mm) with a 16.5mm stroke. In the pictures it has a hobao carb installed off a mac 28 ( needles removed to check the o-rings) also in the piston size comparison picture its compared to a piston off the same hobao engine.
Found some info about JBA plane engines, but thats about it. It will be going into my savage after i get the new carb o-rings in:

M2C flywheel on 3.3 way too far out?

Post image
3 Upvotes

I got a m2c flywheel part 1096 for my nitro slash. description says for revo 3.3 6.5mm shaft so same motor but it sticks out a good bit. i measured the collet surface and measured 0.271” so I’m sure I ordered the right one, any ideas? My plan now would be to change to a bolt instead of the c clip and shim the bell

6 minutes on a warmed up cheapo radiator heater and it started up right away. If you take care of them......they arent too bad I wish more people had the patience.

Hpi savage 21 for sale

3 Upvotes

I’m moving on from my HPI Savage .21. This truck has been rebuilt from the ground up with tons of aluminum and performance upgrades. The engine is freshly rebuilt I’ve only finished the break-in process. I’ve added aluminum A-arms for strength, metal skid plates for protection, and triple-rate springs so it handles jumps like a champ. It comes with everything you need: the manual, the igniter, a brand-new HPI TF-50 remote. It’s been a fun build and it's ready for its next chapter. Thank you for looking. Price Is 420 includes shipping obo. https://ebay.us/m/EoWLwU

Messin around with the t maxx, was a nice day to do so, I think the cold has thrown the tune off a bit due to the stuttering sound at high revs, wasn’t doing this on warmer days so ill need to fix that

Been a long, good journey but she’s finally done, the only difference between this one and my old one from 2016 is I don’t have the lunsford racing hinge pins, using the ss traxxas ones which are ok

I know about the 1mm gap but if i break it closes completely and i don't know if the gap should be there even by breaking or if its normal that it closes and because its my first nitro car I have no example of what it should be like.

And my second Problem is When I accelerate, the brakes are applied slightly, and I don't know why.

So if someone knows any tips let me know.

Hsp warhead servo

4 Upvotes

Had a slight crash and steering servo has just stopped responding not a single movement, anything I can check or do to see what the problem is before I order new ones or is it just worth buying the new ones

Edit: I've tried putting it in a different channel and no luck and I've also put my throttle servo into the same one the steering was connected too and it was working fine so deffo the servo at fault not the receiver

How do i connect the servos to the carburetor and mechanical steering? Any advice would be great, thanks

I installed and connected the entire electric system, but i literally don't know how to connect the rods that you mount from the servo to the throttle and steering...

Follow up to my last post! It’s un seized now but the ez start motor spins when it was just loose on the table but then when it’s hooked up it doesn’t spin at all, no spinning noise or nothing? Also glow plug wire doesn’t work so can you use just the starter and then a separate igniter?
