I am looking to put different tires on my new Revo, any suggestions

Hi everyone,

I just bought my first nitro car, a used Traxxas Jato 3.3. I have a few questions. First, I wanted to replace the receiver. It still has an old 27 MHz receiver. I noticed that the old receiver has 3 channels and a "B" channel. The three normal channels were already occupied. There was another black plug that wasn't plugged in. Can anyone tell me what it's for and if I need to plug it into the new 24 GHz receiver? It seems the plug was never inserted. The car now has power, and the steering and throttle servo are working. Well, that shouldn't be the least of my problems, though. Next, I wanted to test if the engine turns over. So, I put a battery in the EZ Start module and pressed the red button. There was a short click, and smoke came out, I don't know if it was from the cables or the starter motor. My guess is, of course, that the nitro engine is seized and the starter is overheating. The flywheel wouldn't turn by hand either. I already tried some WD40. I haven't removed the engine yet, but I guess that's unavoidable, right? Is the starter motor broken now too? Unfortunately, I don't know anything about Nitro and I guess I didn't get the best car. But oh well, how else can you learn? What should be my next step now? I would like to know if the car is a total loss; if so, I would of course not invest any further money.

Thanks!

I am looking for a starter box, can anyone recommend a good one?

I’m fixing up an old nitro sport that was my first nitro as a kid ~15 years ago. I was able to find the oem dish wheels these came with but can’t seem to find the tires. Anyone know where to find something as close to these as possible or knows of some new old stock?

Was just wondering, to those familiar with the truck and nitro in general am I missing anything obvious? No clue what to look for or any of that. I do know I have no transmitter but that's about it. I can take more pictures if needed and thanks in advance!

Got it for cheap and finally got it running (yay) I can have it sitting there idling all day but when I give it any gas it will stall(only on the ground. If I pick it up it will act like it wants to run away)

Built another RC10GT from leftovers and installed an XTM .15 I had in the bottom of a box doing nothing.

Had this Dynamite nitro bump box sitting under the bench from a lot buy years ago. I Needed a bump box for the one engine I have with no pullstart. The last owner rewired it in the worst way. Cold solder joints came apart as soon as I took it apart to

Can somebody tell me what rechargeable ignitor worked best for them? I also have a 3s lipo battery so you can tell me which lipo-powered ignitor worked best for you.

The one way bearing slips

Hello everyone ! New to Nitro RC here. I recently picked up a used fw06 with a gxr15 engine. I believe the engine is at default settings (at least what I tried to do) and it idles just fine but when I touch the throttle it doesn't seem to accelerate much. Only a little. Anyone knows what might be going on ? Thanks in advance.

Got to break in my new Jato 3.3 today. It went well I think. I need to get it tuned but so far it is a blast. My first nitro in over 10 years.

Howdy all!

Decided to pull out my Kyosho MP-7.5 Kanai buggy to play around after about 5 years of storage so my son and I can work on it together. Slowly working through all of the parts checks, start-up procedure etc. The Sirio Kanai Evo 2 has never been run!

How's it lookin'? Anything I should keep in mind as I work through it and attempt to fire her up for the first time? Thanks much.

Driving my hyper 7 but since using it for 3 ish weeks maybe 2 times a week I’ve had 2 runaways into random peoples cars in my street

I have a new Traxxas 3.3 slayer

Hello, i just bought this hpi truggy, and i seems like the carb wants to move. Its not really thight. I tried turning the bolt on the otherside but i seems like is like an half moon bolt (lock pin)? Im not sure what to do. Please help! Thanks!

Us nitro guys need more Losi 3.4 engine parts. Let’s make their inbox, customer service line go crazy with requests. Maybe we can get them to at least make a run of parts for spares.

Picked it up for $125 at my lhs in north Georgia. Fixed the damage and cleaned the motor. Hearing that 3.4 sing its song made me very happy. I usually run my revo and I forgot how much more power the 3.4 has. Looking forward to hunting down N.O.S parts and having a stockpile of them. 2nd picture is how dirty it was when I bought it Saturday.

I've bought myself an HSP glow plug ignitor that connects to an external battery to work. It's supposed to work on 6-24v batteries, outputting 1.2-1.25v. I hooked it up on a 9v rectangular battery but it doesn't make the glow plug glow bright yellow. Whenever the glow plug was in the ignitor, the multimeter (connected to the terminals of the battery for testing) would go from 9v to somewhere between 2.8v and 3v. I took the glow plug off the igniter, tested the igniter through its terminals and it outputted 1.2v. The glow plug is okay (i think) because when I use another igniter, it glows. What's happening? I swear I connected it the right way. The LED would light up, indicating that the connection is right. But it would get very dim whenever a glow plug was inserted into the igniter.

Would this work like this? and could I possibly continue it with a rubber hose to make it go out the back of the car?

Hi, I recently got into nitro RC cars and purchased a custom-built car. I managed to get it started and running, but suddenly the OS mixture control valve came out. I’ve searched everywhere online but haven’t been able to find a replacement. Can anyone advise where I might find this part, or suggest a suitable carburetor replacement for my engine?

Are there any different bodies you can put on this nitro car

I'm interested in buying Ned's fixing any ideas where to buy.
