hahaa, hey my dude! I cannot blame you, when these run how they should, there is no electric that is funner. The 2-speed shift alone is worth the hassle. Plus you cant really yell over your electrics, so I can take my anger out on the nitrogang and yell in the vids, lol. jK.
@@drewbeltz LOL, I mean, there's nothing wrong with a nice Slash VXL, I have one too. But I don't really enjoy doing videos on it, we all know it's good, we all know it's fast, pretty much 100% predictable. With the nitros, you just never know, lol. Its hella exciting, Nitrogang!!!
Great video Dmitri!!! I always love seeing new notifications pop up from you I know they always will be very good entertainment and very good watches awesome job brother keep up the great work 👍
hey my Friend, thanks!! Yes, all my videos have some point to them. I don't just put up useless videos. Now we all know this thing can at least do 46 MPH. But we ned 50 or more.
Thats great that the Slayer hit 46.. I only got 40 out of my nitro Rustler and claims 50. Love the Revo I just got a 2.5 for a 100 bucks just needed a fuel tank lid O-ring now it runs great.
hey bro! Considering the rustler is a single speed, you are still doing quite good at 40 MPH. I used to have a 2.5 model years ago and I got 43 MPH, running lean. Traxxas doesn't tell people flat out that they need taller optional pinion gears, you know. Congrats one 2.5 REVO, I had that when it first came out, it was such a nice and fun RC. Nitrognag is happy for you.
I have the slayer 4x4 and like it alot. Fun cars to run, liking the nitros during quarantine. My tmaxx just got a new 3.3, keeps me busy and my mind occupied. Good video
hey my dude! what's going on! Glad to see you running the nitros, nothing like a pile of nitro smoke coming the the pipe, am I right?? T-maxx 4 life bro. I love my 3.3 t-maxx. Thanks for watching.
That slayer needed a richer low speed since the idle was all over the place. Low speed needle is in charge of the engine returning to idle from high rpms and also accerlation from standstill to half throttle
hey bro! I've been tuning this Slayer little by little each run. The current LSN is set to factory setting. The problem is these traxxas carbs generally have a dual stage idle, and it seems to do that no matter what you do. I didn't really get into the 2-stage idle issue, but you just gotta rev it you know.
Hi all you nitro gang members out there. There’s nothing like a couple of nitros running against each other at full chat. Awesome guys. Great video Dimitri. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
hey bro! thanks for watching! I know you've been subbed to me for over a year, you tube is saying to me right now with a red icon. Nitrogang is going strong! I especially loved when the 2-speeds shifted in unison together, now I just need to find some more friends with these similar rcs and its gonna be a damn nitro symphony.
Been taking my Nitro Mad Crusher out a lot lately and man it feels so good getting the engine and the 3-speed dialed in just right to hit them top speed runs. Lets go Nitrogang!!
hey bro!! I was about to purchase the new Mad Crusher until it became sold out everywhere. I need another 3 speed on my channel. The Savage XL is cool and all, but we need more nitros, you know!! Yup, it's like a sense of complete accomplishment when these run good and shift, right!.
hey bro! Yup, the NitroGang wants you to run the slayer man. I gotta say, it's quite a great chassis, and handles well also. I cant believe it's half the weight of my stock revo 3.3. And yet my Revo is not much slower overall, that means the slayer could pull much taller gears and we will hit over 50 MPH soon.
Hey my dude, thank you so much. I really appreciate having you as a viewer and a valuable channel member. We will always be making Nitro wait again even if 25 more copycat Arrmas are released. Lol.
I put the Revo center diff in the Slayer it shows. The slayer with stock center diff is faster off the line. And With the Revo Gears, 17 tooth bell clutch, and 38 tooth spur I was hitting 53 mph. With the Slayer.
hey dude! what's up! Good info! 53 MPH is quite good for once of these with the 17T clutch bell! Not bad at all! I would make the taller gear chang myself too personally, but that SLayer isn't mine, only the revo from this video is mine. But ye, in larger open fields like I'm running you really need the taller gearing, otherwise it just looks slow cause distances are so wide and open, you now! Nitrogang!!>
yup bro!! The next few vids will not have any electrics at all. Only the strong make nitro videos because you gotta yell all the time, ahaha. I don't think the electric guys could handle that kind of stuff, they just whisper. The Nitrogang makes our presence known.
hey buddy! thanks for watching. Not sure what the issue with your revo was, but the tuning on all traxxas motors is pretty similar. You might have had some type of air leak causing it to tune poorly. Anyway, the slayer is sick! Have fun and keep the Nitrogang alive.
I was hoping you were going to show the speakers 1000 lights that’s nuts I only have 300 but I’m also 48 years old You’re getting better with the use of the word literally you used it correctly both times Thanks for the comparison of the two cars I didn’t know they had the same chassis I love that you know what Traxxas tried to do to the RC sailors
hey my detail oriented friend, haha! Ironic part is with the whole RC sailors issue when they got a youtube strike for calling the REMO hobby 1635 a Mini X-Maxx, I didn't get anything because I also did something similar just to see if Traxxas would harass me. The diference is RC Sailors called it a "mini X-maxx" in the video title which yo could clearly be lead to think it's an actual Traxxas product, you know. Because they have a Revo, and then they have a mini-erevo, so traxxas does use the whole Mini title in their names. IT's like you saying your random old phone is really a "mini - iPhone", people would assume it's a real apple product. LOL.
hey man! Yup, I remember you used to be nitro riding every day in your vids! you'll be back to it soon. The revo was mine, the slayer is my buddy's, it's great to have nitro burning friends, right!!
hey dude, that T-maxx with the clicking issue you commented on in m instagram seems to be running great, other than the clicking. I guess it's normal, you were right. I will be mentioning your helpful comment in a future video. Nitogang!! I find it so weird this 2.5 classic Maxx model does that, I don't remember any other model doing that, do you?
@@hybrid32494 No I don't remember it in any other model.. maybe they changed something when they went to the gray transmission case. If it is bothersome and you don't use reverse, installing the forward only conversion eliminates that jerking/clicking. But I imagine you want to keep it all original🤘🤙 Love the videos man!! Cant wait to see the tmaxx in action!! And I would absolutely appreciate the shout out man!!! All I want to do is help and keep nitro alive!! #NitroGang
hey my dude! thanks for watching! Yes, my REvo 3.3 is in top condition, this is actually one of 4 revos I own. Two of them have the forward only kit, highly recommended, it will make the trans much more responsive btw.
@@hybrid32494 If I was interested on living on the edge all the time, I'd rock the forward only kit. In my life, my Revo is kind of a "cruiser" type of ride. That Slayer has gotten me thinking for those days I have some of Honey Boo Boo's go-go juice, though.
Those nitro cars go fast, and the drone vide is cool done, that's really cool to see i like, and that danse reminds me of me when I went out to the dicoteek, 8000w is a lot, I now also have to shout, and that back case is still going to spit out everything that continues like this hahah lol, just awesome vide 👊😜👍#132 🤙
hey bro! thanks so much!! I see you watched the whole thing, that's rare, ahaha. I need to get better at flying the drone though. I recently got the newest DJI mavic air 2 which can automatically track any moving object, so that will greatly improve my videos. Now I just gotta avoid the coppers when I fly it.
whats my dude! My prius has the upgraded JBL 9 speaker system from the factory with an amp. Only problem is the system does not have a sub. Years ago Best Buy had a audio installation system and sold "kicker" bazooka style subs for the prius that would not void the factory warranty. Unfortunately the complicated High Voltage system in the prius is not something I want to mess with, you know. Prob not worth the trouble. I'll just listed to the old Lincoln's THX audio instead if I have to. Nitrogang!
After seeing this video I remembered this was the first thing that I ever like as a toy although I've never owned one I'd say that I'm going nitro and I really like the little truck
Want more performance from your 3.3 engine? Swap put the stock carb for an OS 11K Carb (it'll also tune easier and hold a tune while giving u more power.. direct drop in).. Want more performance yet and with looks and a killer sound? Throw in an ERCM Pipe (the best Pipe u can get but expensive)..
You might have lost on the pavement, but I'm sure the the Revo would KILL the Slayer offroad :) Also, that sound system was pretty sick! I've never experienced anything more than 1k watts. Bet that was intense!
hey my dude! thanks for watching! The Revo kicked some ASS after watching this video, kind of surprising really after you saw the dry weight of the slayer is literally half of the REVO, and yet it wasn't that much worse. They both have different gear ratios, and different wheels sizes, but I guess overall they perform similar.
I just picked up a revo 3.3 it was bought new in the 90’s run 3 times and now I have it. What is the first thing I should do. I know electric models so I can test the electronics but after that I’m afraid I’m lost as to what to do first. Hopefully here I’ll get some ideas. Thanks for all you do Nitro Guy 👊😎
Love your content dude always entertaining. Im jealous your reverse works. I have a tmaxx and the damn reverse dont work. It will go in reverse when it first starts up but crazy thing is i dont have channel 3 on when it does it. Whacky as hell
hey bro! Question for you, which model T-maxx is this? I think it's the T-mAxx 2.5 classic if I'm not mistaken, because the 3.3 models don't have reverse. Anyway, I recently met a buddy who just got the new t-maxx 2.5 classic, and it's got the weirdest reverse system which clicks in and out constantly, apparently it's normal. Tell me which model, because it sounds like you need to adjust your reverse shift linkages and tighten up or remove some slack in the servo linkage line on the reverse servo by moving the stop collars in some.
Uhh that is a good question i got it off of ebay ill have to try and see if the info is still up. It has a ofna picco .21 engine in it that means anything to you. I cant open up the info for it. Ill tighten up the link and see if that helps
hey bro! gotta say that audio was way better than my Prius's JBL system, lol. And I'm still yelling to this day, ahahah. That audio was tight, I can't confirm the 8K watts or more, but it literally almost blew me away, lol. Nitrogang!!
@@hybrid32494 looking at the 2 amps there, he's only running bout 900 watts max. The jl amp is 300 watts and the Rockford looks like like a 600\2. Im sure it still sounds good. Quality equipment in there.
You can't be good old-fashioned nitro RC horsepower I bet my weeks wages when you get the Schumacher menace 21 running up to speed I bet the Schumacher eat them for lunch ? Great video man 👌 and a little bit of German techno music
Those are both great rigs. If i had to buy a nitro tomorrow I'd go with the slayer, solid rig, 2nd choice would be the revo, but on another day I may take the revo first, just depends. Every time I watch one of your videos I can hear myself taking inventory on my old nitro rigs trying to remember what condition they are in and what it would take to get em rollin again. Ha. Ar this point I'd probably just buy a new one, ha.
hey bro, sure can. They reviewed a Remo mini S-maxx on their channel and got a community guideline strike (which is very serious business on RUclips) because Traxxas lawyers claim to "own" the trademark s-maxx. Funny thing is I reviewed the same REMO RC and I called it a version of some Traxxas model too, and traxxas does not bother me, because I'm the Nitrogang Leader bro. JK. But seriously, a strike on youtube is serious and could be taken to court to prove.
Also I see you got a nitro buddy now? I have seen or heard that guy in more of your videos. Hey I am thinking of getting a brand new Revo myself since I want to experience reverse on a nitro
hey bro! Yup, that's one of my Nitrogang Buddy's. He was a local viewer of mine who I met up with in real life and we have been doing speed runs since bro! The Nitrogang sticks together around here, you know. The revo does kick some AS* I will admit that, but the T-maxx 3.3 is more reliable since it lacks reverse.
Hey Hybrid, I am thinking the reason the bones brew is not performing very well with your trucks is bc they are not race motors. I am pretty sure bones brew was designed for racing. Like vp makes a master badger and master racer.
hey Marion, AKA the (best Brap mother) for making Jeff awesome stickers, I told him I will put one on my prius for him and drive around with it. thanks for watching, is your boat on the horizon yet? lol?
@@soblessed6438 yup, there seems to be alot of global shipping and product backups. I also ordered another green boat and it's not shipped either. IT's ok, the wait times really don't bother me honestly.
Hey jato and t-maxx, Revo and slayer pro 3.3 tsm are still popular nitro trucks. I love nitro gangs baby. Hey I got me a Traxxas Xo1. 100mph and I got a 4tec 2.0vxl 70mph
hey bro! I see you watched. few of my vids, glad you did! Anyway, I used to have an XO-1, that was a long time ago. Honestly didn't like It back then, it was one of the first edition models, always gave me radio issues. I have a video on this channel.
hey bro! yup! The Slayer isn't mine from this video, but the Revo is! Nitrogang!! Those 2-speed shifts at the same time sound so good together, right! If I had like 5 of these running together and shifting together, that would be a damn Nitro ORGY!!
Hi Hybrid, Just getting back into Nitro!!!! Man I missed it🤣 Just got the Revo 3.3.....would u rather have a earlier shift or later shift to 2nd gear. ..I'm trying to tune it and I want maximum acceleration/ High end speed....plz help
hey pal! whats up! Yes, I could discuss the Traxxas business strategy for a while, I cut most of it short here because too many people would get BUTT-HURT at the reality of capitalism. We can hate on their decisions as much as we want but reality is at the end of the day we all speak with our wallet. Since I've never purchased a new one I could bash them and still own them while not contradicting my views. you know.
@@hybrid32494 Agreed 100%. The cars are good but overpriced, and everybody has choice to buy it or not. If people would stop buying it, they would need to lower their prices. Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft on the other hand, all have become monopolies and just buy up or put their competition out of business, their is no competition with them
hey bro! Sorry, I don't know the music from the car clip, I'll ask the owner for you, ok. That was not my music selection, if it was me, you would mostly only hear heavy alternative rock and metal, Nitrogang baby!
hey my bro! I would say our speed results with stock gearing on the Slayer Pro are quite good, what brand nitro is that you're using btw? You could easily find a nice used revo 3.3, they are everywhere.
This question has nothing to do with this video, but is there any chance you know where I could get a carb for a .18 mmgt 3.0 engine? I can’t seem to find one anywhere.
hey man! I just searched for the .18 team associated carb and engine all over. Not even ebay has any. Since it's probably a common 18 carb, I would try any spare small block carbs you might already have. Often times most of the HPI .15 carbs fit, I've been using an HPI G3.0 carb in an old OS .12 CV engine for years, and t's fine.
Tommro is the first run of my ofna titian my wife wants me to find another nitro basically a traxxas used something for her. she likes the slayer.gotta find one to work a trade.
whats up my fellow NItrogang brother! The issue you described could be multiple reasons. First you gotta check to see if your idle is not too low, it's possible when you hit the brakes the carb just closes too much, you need to raise your idle by turning the IDLE SETSCREW clockwise 1/4 of a turn to start with. Look up the instructions in the traxxas manual. DO this, and write me back, we will figure this out.
hey man! thanks for watching!! I often get called a Traxxas Fanboy, and that may very well be, so far not a single RC brand has such a line of new Nitros they sell. Pretty much other than traxxas only LOSI and off-brands sell new Nitros at this point. LONG LIVE TRAXXAS!!!.
Hey bro. I highly recommend the nitro slash or the t-maxx 3.3 only for you. I have vids on both. The nitro slash is a ln extended rustler chassis with a 3.3, very good combo if you want a 2wd.
@@hybrid32494 okay 👌🏽 I work a t a hobby store as well I like the slash but we r outta stock rn lol appreciate the feed back and yes the tmax has been eyeing me the whole time thanks for ur input I’ll let u know what I’ll take
@@andrewrojo7261 always glad to help! Make sure to let me know what you decide bro. If possible the t-maxx is the best overall in my opinion. only the 3.3 model, not the 2.5.
Why stop at 3? Make it bang off shifts like an F1 car and gear 1st to 20mph. Have 7th top out at 60 mph. Maybe come out with a 4cc version. Can even remove the Ez start motor and run it off the spur gear. You’d need a one way bearing in the clutch to allow the motor shaft to spin faster than the bell but won’t let the bell spin faster than the crank. Run the ez start motor in reverse to give it reverse and remove the reverse gear and servo.
you right about that! Luckily the traxxas nitro systems all have very good throttle return springs, even if you have a radio issue or power gets disconnected the servo will return to natural. I've relies on this a couple times so far, btw.
Is it ok to run the trx 3.3 engine lean. Like half a turn on the low speed and 2 and a half on the high speed needle. Using traxxas top fuel has lots of oil content. Because you can’t run the engine rich while using traxxas top fuel. I feel like it might be safe because it has lots of oil.
hey man! I'm in the process of getting some made and people could purchase them at their discretion! All I know is the Nitrogang is cooler and better than the annoying bikers that ride around and piss people off on the streets. If they biker gangs want some, I will race their Harleys with my BAJA, 1/8 Mile. I had enough complying with the status QUO! time I say the truth, Chicks who use filters are liers and they are not princesses who can make a fake living thru their instagram influencing.
hey bro! Sorry to hear that. This is the only revo out of 3 that I own that runs well and works. One needs a forward only conversion which I already purchased but need to install. what's the problem with your revo bro?
hey buddy! Yes, the exterior looks very similar, you're right. The chassis is 100% different though. I recently got a used traxxas nitro slash to work on, you will see. The slayer is based on the Revo chassis, while the Nitro slash is based on the rustler chassis.
hey buddy! If you're running the engine out of fuel you don't need to do anything else if you're running with a 2-4 week time frame. Generally if you're running more than a month apart you could put some after run oil though the carb and spin the engine over a little. But be very careful to not drop any dirt through the carb while you're removing the air filter (this typically will destroy your engine and pretty significant).
Bro. U can order one with the teespring link in the vids. I only make like a 2 dollar profit per shirt and im taking one fir the team to get the proper nitrogang approved spparel out there. Lol. Seriously. If teespring raises their costs anymore I will literally wind up, having to pay to have people order them. Lol.
yo dude!! The slayer comes with a forward only trans, and honestly trying to put in a reverse into it would not be a good idea. I don't know if it would fit or not, but the reverse is the weak part of every revo. In fact I just converted mine to run forward only.
I need some help! I’m trying to tune my nitro slash because it’s very rich, very thick blue smoke and oil just leaks out of the exhaust when I’m done with it, but I was leaning it out and I felt like I was going to take the whole needle out! It did get faster but I don’t know if the extra amount of smoke is a good thing!
hey man! Thanks for watching, lets see if we can help you out. Alot of smoke is fine, but not to the point that the motor becomes very sluggish and tends to spit out alot of oil. You said you leaned it out and you saw the needle almost come out? That is not leaning it out, that is richening the motor. Lean is clockwise, rich is counterclockwise. You should always start about 3.5 turns from full closed on the high speed needle, then go from there. Let me know.
@@hybrid32494 yeah, I started from 4 turns out from all the way in, and leaned it clockwise. Although performance did feel better, the smoke and oil kept on coming, and it was very thick, not light smoke, I don’t think it affects it if this is a new motor as I’m doing this after I finished break in
Hey nitro gang. Good video Hybrid. As you know Dimitri, I absolutely HATE Traxxas' business model. Problem is, I do like Traxxas products. At least once the ridiculous out of the box weaknesses are addressed. My personal form of protest is that I only buy used Traxxas vehicles and I try to avoid purchasing new Traxxas parts. I want to enjoy the hobby and the vehicles I enjoy playing with however, I want Traxxas to make as little, to no, profit from my purchase either directly or indirectly. This is just my personal opinion and my personal policy as it applies to Traxxas. It's bad enough that Traxxas sells RTR products with ridiculously low quality parts that are not designed to hold up to what the vehicle is advertised or intended to do/drive away from. Very few Traxxas vehicles are actually "tough" out of the box. Many can be made tough but, for any reliability from a Traxxas RC, save the X-Maxx, they all need parts after the first good run. I despise corporate bullies. Well truthfully, all bullies. I personally do not take well to attempts to force an outcome via a position of power. I will always push back and push back both aggressively and stubbornly! I knew that Traxxas sued Arrma and that resulted in Arrma going bankrupt. I also know that it was actually done for the explicit purpose of crippling, who they saw as competition. Traxxas' lawsuit against Arrma was not truely about fair business practices or patients, it was really about tying things up in court and kneecaping one of their main direct competitors. I'm not sure on this but my understanding is that had Arrma been in a financial position to see the lawsuit to its completion, they would have had a good chance at winning the lawsuit. Ultimately Arrma went bankrupt, not because they were in the wrong so much as they couldn't afford to defend themselves any further thus settled the case while going belly up. This was Traxxas' desired outcome all along. I'm also not sure about this so fact check me, but the lawsuit wasn't so much the desigh of the lay down shocks but the name given to the design. IDK for sure if that's accurate or not. Regardless, I am so glad that in the long run, Arrma came back better than ever. Does anyone know if Traxxas had a dirty hand in Losi's financial problems? I had thought they had with HPI, but I don't know for sure or what/why. Did Traxxas play any roll in Losi's financial issues or was it was just legitimate competition? All of that said, this I find the most troubling. I knew that Traxxas threatened the RC Saylors in an attempt to suppress their constitutional rights to having an opinion and stating said opinions on their RUclips channel. I however, did not know that they attempted to sue them. So you're telling me that, Traxxas tried to completely financially ruin a young family, because they gave an honest review of the impression they had of a Traxxas product? Now my understanding is that, Traxxas sent them 1 vehicle to review. The RC Saylors, I believe, only give honest reviews and demonstrate any shortcomings that they find. They are honest and fair but, they don't really set a very high bar either so if they say something is a problem, it is a problem. Anyhow, apparently they were unaware that Traxxas expects/demands only positive reviews of there products. Now again, my understanding is that they gave a positive review of the vehicle however, they expressed a less than positive experience with the Traxxas Batteries. As a result, at some point, Traxxas threatened them and even went as far as to say that if they even mention the Traxxas name in one of their videos, that they would be sued. Obviously this is part of the Traxxas corporate policy to intimidate bully and decimate anyone who gets in their way. Traxxas literally said, that if they exercised their 1st Amendment rights as citizens of the United States of America, that they would attempt to financially ruin a young entrepreneurial family via frivolous lawsuits that they could not afford to defend. Sickening IMO! So, do you think Traxxas is a corporate bully? How do you feel about empowering them with your purchase/money? They may not miss my $, that however is not my point. I as 1 person may not affectually hurt Traxxas by not directly or indirectly putting profits in Traxxas' pockets but, it makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing in my mind. Again, JMHO! Do you agree? It's okay if you don't.
Yo bro can you help me with my brakes because it’s not grabbing hard like your revo. When I press the brake and pull the rc the wheels still move but you can feel little bit of braking. I adjusted the brakes both sides, the calipers are still good, it might be the servo.
hey bro! Got a question for you, did you adjust the brake linkage itself? Its highly possible the servo horn is not in the right location and thats why your adjustment is still not giving you any braking. Generally the linkage itself is not correctly adjusted. Also are you sure the threaded brake rod adjustment is as tight as it should be? The chance of the brake pad and caliper being bad is very low, usually the linkage is just not applying enough force.
you said it my dude! Some electrics could be faster but they don't have that 2-speed. THat's what it's all about. When it shifts you just get happy!, you know, cause it works, lol. Nitrogang!!
hey bro! that's 100% right. I'm a Staten Islander my dude! If you watch my newer videos you might notice most of them were recorded at the RC track in Staten Island. Nitrogang baby!! You're totally welcome to come and RC whenever you want.
@@hybrid32494 yea I followed you on ig I noticed the south beach track. I’ve actually never had an RC before just started looking into them. Maybe one day I’ll come by haha
hey my dude! It could be a result of a very rich tune. Do you notice alot of smoke and oil coming rom the pipe? Also how is the engine temp? Usually if the temps are under 190 you're running on the rich side which caused excess oil to not burn up and will tend to bog down and shut the motor off. Give me more info, but try to lean it out some first, (turn the high speed needle 1/4 turn clockwise).
hey my dude! how you doing! Thanks for watching, well for the bodies im not aware of any bodies for the slayer. There are plenty for the slash 4x4, they might be the same. Its best to go with the stock body, it's got great cooling, looks fine, and holds up well.
Nitro is just too hard to bash, ripping around in a parking lot is always fun but nitro just isn't reliable enough to really handle a modern day bash session. Can you imagine nitro in the skate park, ha, that would be hilarious.
Traxxas sues everyone so stupid they just put a new lawsuit against another company for using the word mmax 🙄 just got my outcast 8s and opened it last night and it came with broken drive shaft and every bolt in the chassis was loose and they didn't even connect my chassis brace it was just flopping around on my chassis. Uhg. So no bashing for me this weekend dang it. I put a picture on Facebook and Jason the owner of arrma said basically i shouldn't whine about minor problems and file a warranty claim. Lol
hey man! how you doing. Thanks for the offer, im not looking for a 1/5 scale at this time, just recently purchased a couple used ones. thanks though my dude.. You should post in the FB sales groups, lotta ppl there that would love to see the listing. BTW im the admin of the FB group called NitroGang, come join, I'll accept you.
I have the nitro cravings now!!
hahaa, hey my dude! I cannot blame you, when these run how they should, there is no electric that is funner. The 2-speed shift alone is worth the hassle. Plus you cant really yell over your electrics, so I can take my anger out on the nitrogang and yell in the vids, lol. jK.
NITRO GANG, my friend just bought an electric Traxxas..... oh noooo
@@drewbeltz LOL, I mean, there's nothing wrong with a nice Slash VXL, I have one too. But I don't really enjoy doing videos on it, we all know it's good, we all know it's fast, pretty much 100% predictable. With the nitros, you just never know, lol. Its hella exciting, Nitrogang!!!
Dont matter to me ..Nitro ... electric ....to me just rc and enjoy
I just got a t-maxx because of this guy I'm still ordering the glow plug because it was used and I need to buy gas but after that I'll be set
love the reverse feature in my new revo...did u know it actually shifts into second while in reverse? lol so awesome
Great video Dmitri!!! I always love seeing new notifications pop up from you I know they always will be very good entertainment and very good watches awesome job brother keep up the great work 👍
hey my Friend, thanks!! Yes, all my videos have some point to them. I don't just put up useless videos. Now we all know this thing can at least do 46 MPH. But we ned 50 or more.
Thats great that the Slayer hit 46.. I only got 40 out of my nitro Rustler and claims 50. Love the Revo I just got a 2.5 for a 100 bucks just needed a fuel tank lid O-ring now it runs great.
hey bro! Considering the rustler is a single speed, you are still doing quite good at 40 MPH. I used to have a 2.5 model years ago and I got 43 MPH, running lean. Traxxas doesn't tell people flat out that they need taller optional pinion gears, you know. Congrats one 2.5 REVO, I had that when it first came out, it was such a nice and fun RC. Nitrognag is happy for you.
Thank you!!
I have the slayer 4x4 and like it alot. Fun cars to run, liking the nitros during quarantine. My tmaxx just got a new 3.3, keeps me busy and my mind occupied. Good video
hey my dude! what's going on! Glad to see you running the nitros, nothing like a pile of nitro smoke coming the the pipe, am I right?? T-maxx 4 life bro. I love my 3.3 t-maxx. Thanks for watching.
@@hybrid32494 yeah buddy!
That slayer needed a richer low speed since the idle was all over the place. Low speed needle is in charge of the engine returning to idle from high rpms and also accerlation from standstill to half throttle
hey bro! I've been tuning this Slayer little by little each run. The current LSN is set to factory setting. The problem is these traxxas carbs generally have a dual stage idle, and it seems to do that no matter what you do. I didn't really get into the 2-stage idle issue, but you just gotta rev it you know.
Hi all you nitro gang members out there. There’s nothing like a couple of nitros running against each other at full chat. Awesome guys. Great video Dimitri. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
hey bro! thanks for watching! I know you've been subbed to me for over a year, you tube is saying to me right now with a red icon. Nitrogang is going strong! I especially loved when the 2-speeds shifted in unison together, now I just need to find some more friends with these similar rcs and its gonna be a damn nitro symphony.
Been taking my Nitro Mad Crusher out a lot lately and man it feels so good getting the engine and the 3-speed dialed in just right to hit them top speed runs. Lets go Nitrogang!!
hey bro!! I was about to purchase the new Mad Crusher until it became sold out everywhere. I need another 3 speed on my channel. The Savage XL is cool and all, but we need more nitros, you know!! Yup, it's like a sense of complete accomplishment when these run good and shift, right!.
man, I haven't had a minute in almost a month to run my slayer. really do need to get some fuel and head back out there.
hey bro! Yup, the NitroGang wants you to run the slayer man. I gotta say, it's quite a great chassis, and handles well also. I cant believe it's half the weight of my stock revo 3.3. And yet my Revo is not much slower overall, that means the slayer could pull much taller gears and we will hit over 50 MPH soon.
I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the work you do in putting the channel together it is appreciated
Hey my dude, thank you so much. I really appreciate having you as a viewer and a valuable channel member. We will always be making Nitro wait again even if 25 more copycat Arrmas are released. Lol.
I put the Revo center diff in the Slayer it shows. The slayer with stock center diff is faster off the line.
And With the Revo Gears, 17 tooth bell clutch, and 38 tooth spur I was hitting 53 mph.
With the Slayer.
hey dude! what's up! Good info! 53 MPH is quite good for once of these with the 17T clutch bell! Not bad at all! I would make the taller gear chang myself too personally, but that SLayer isn't mine, only the revo from this video is mine. But ye, in larger open fields like I'm running you really need the taller gearing, otherwise it just looks slow cause distances are so wide and open, you now! Nitrogang!!>
Another great vid my brother!! I see you got a new one out too! Gonna watch that after I install this mailbox at work!!!
Damn this was a long one. All nitro no e words.thats how we like it.
yup bro!! The next few vids will not have any electrics at all. Only the strong make nitro videos because you gotta yell all the time, ahaha. I don't think the electric guys could handle that kind of stuff, they just whisper. The Nitrogang makes our presence known.
@@hybrid32494 yes. People here and smell the nitro, it breathes it screams. The e words are dead and clinical inside.
I had the Revo 2.5 and I lived @6K+ ft elevation, couldnt tune it. I live at sea level now and have the Slayer 3.3, its sick.
hey buddy! thanks for watching. Not sure what the issue with your revo was, but the tuning on all traxxas motors is pretty similar. You might have had some type of air leak causing it to tune poorly. Anyway, the slayer is sick! Have fun and keep the Nitrogang alive.
Just got a blue Slayer Pro too! Got a handful of mods on it already and love it! Super fast even on 20%!
Got one a month ago in blue as well love it my fave rc I own
Imagine 25% or 30%
Hey bro john frm fl. Im not young man im 67. Lol still love it racing for 38 yrs. ur very good at what u do.
Great video👍 I like to hear those motors peaked out and that 2 speed shift😳 rippin good bro 💥💥😎
hey! thanks! I heard you have a vintage nitro Jeff has told me. The Nitrogang wants to see it in a video please!.
hybrid32494 A video will be coming and dedicated to the Nitro gang😎
I was hoping you were going to show the speakers 1000 lights that’s nuts I only have 300 but I’m also 48 years old
You’re getting better with the use of the word literally you used it correctly both times
Thanks for the comparison of the two cars I didn’t know they had the same chassis
I love that you know what Traxxas tried to do to the RC sailors
hey my detail oriented friend, haha! Ironic part is with the whole RC sailors issue when they got a youtube strike for calling the REMO hobby 1635 a Mini X-Maxx, I didn't get anything because I also did something similar just to see if Traxxas would harass me. The diference is RC Sailors called it a "mini X-maxx" in the video title which yo could clearly be lead to think it's an actual Traxxas product, you know. Because they have a Revo, and then they have a mini-erevo, so traxxas does use the whole Mini title in their names.
IT's like you saying your random old phone is really a "mini - iPhone", people would assume it's a real apple product. LOL.
How could anyone not love nitros..just awesome!
That’s the same thing I said to my p**k a$$ neighbor lol 😂
I like the video a lot, I just got into the RC hobby my first RC is A Revo 3.3 nitro
Great video bro 🔥👌
thank you my dude!! NitroGang!! We gonna have more slayer vids soon btw.
@@hybrid32494 fasho bro I’ve had so many jatos and t Maxx 3.3s getting my girl a slayer this week
Hell yea nice ima get some VP fuel at my lhs today when i get paid. I miss my nitros. I need fuel an plugs. Killer vid that slayer is killer.
hey man! Yup, I remember you used to be nitro riding every day in your vids! you'll be back to it soon. The revo was mine, the slayer is my buddy's, it's great to have nitro burning friends, right!!
@@hybrid32494 sure is.
Love the side by side drag racing action 🤘🤙 Double the nitro double the fun #NitroGang
hey dude, that T-maxx with the clicking issue you commented on in m instagram seems to be running great, other than the clicking. I guess it's normal, you were right. I will be mentioning your helpful comment in a future video. Nitogang!! I find it so weird this 2.5 classic Maxx model does that, I don't remember any other model doing that, do you?
@@hybrid32494 No I don't remember it in any other model.. maybe they changed something when they went to the gray transmission case. If it is bothersome and you don't use reverse, installing the forward only conversion eliminates that jerking/clicking. But I imagine you want to keep it all original🤘🤙 Love the videos man!! Cant wait to see the tmaxx in action!! And I would absolutely appreciate the shout out man!!! All I want to do is help and keep nitro alive!! #NitroGang
Vid looks great buddy! Can't wait to get some speed runs on my rc's 😁😁😁
I just sold my 2017 jato 3.3 tsm. I got another one coming. I pre order it. I got the orange and blue
I want a NitroGang shirt!! Of course I'll buy it!
Hey Hybrid 👋 man got him self a Axial Chevy 1/24 scale, im loving it as much as my nitro rcs. Nitro gang and crawling gang 💪 yeah baby
Amazing video! NitroGang!!!!
Whoa your reverse works too? I had to workaround it by loosening screws that tie down the 2065/micro servo. Never had a problem since!
Cheers
hey my dude! thanks for watching! Yes, my REvo 3.3 is in top condition, this is actually one of 4 revos I own. Two of them have the forward only kit, highly recommended, it will make the trans much more responsive btw.
@@hybrid32494 If I was interested on living on the edge all the time, I'd rock the forward only kit. In my life, my Revo is kind of a "cruiser" type of ride. That Slayer has gotten me thinking for those days I have some of Honey Boo Boo's go-go juice, though.
Had to go back and watch this again!
I hope it’s even more sickening the second time around bro happy to see that you’re enjoying the Nitro entertainment.
Yessir awesome vid my RC brother
Bryon was awesome Nitro, wish could still get it
Traxxas Revo is Awesome !!!
It sure is! thanks for watching my dude!
Those nitro cars go fast, and the drone vide is cool done, that's really cool to see i like, and that danse reminds me of me when I went out to the dicoteek, 8000w is a lot, I now also have to shout, and that back case is still going to spit out everything that continues like this hahah lol, just awesome vide 👊😜👍#132 🤙
hey bro! thanks so much!! I see you watched the whole thing, that's rare, ahaha. I need to get better at flying the drone though. I recently got the newest DJI mavic air 2 which can automatically track any moving object, so that will greatly improve my videos. Now I just gotta avoid the coppers when I fly it.
@@hybrid32494 Yes!! bro i watched the whole thing 😜👍
Great one! You need that sound system in the Prius! I bet it would move the whole car! Hope you guys got Chinese after the video.
whats my dude! My prius has the upgraded JBL 9 speaker system from the factory with an amp. Only problem is the system does not have a sub. Years ago Best Buy had a audio installation system and sold "kicker" bazooka style subs for the prius that would not void the factory warranty. Unfortunately the complicated High Voltage system in the prius is not something I want to mess with, you know. Prob not worth the trouble. I'll just listed to the old Lincoln's THX audio instead if I have to. Nitrogang!
After seeing this video I remembered this was the first thing that I ever like as a toy although I've never owned one I'd say that I'm going nitro and I really like the little truck
Want more performance from your 3.3 engine? Swap put the stock carb for an OS 11K Carb (it'll also tune easier and hold a tune while giving u more power.. direct drop in).. Want more performance yet and with looks and a killer sound? Throw in an ERCM Pipe (the best Pipe u can get but expensive)..
You might have lost on the pavement, but I'm sure the the Revo would KILL the Slayer offroad :)
Also, that sound system was pretty sick! I've never experienced anything more than 1k watts. Bet that was intense!
hey my dude! thanks for watching! The Revo kicked some ASS after watching this video, kind of surprising really after you saw the dry weight of the slayer is literally half of the REVO, and yet it wasn't that much worse. They both have different gear ratios, and different wheels sizes, but I guess overall they perform similar.
I just picked up a revo 3.3 it was bought new in the 90’s run 3 times and now I have it.
What is the first thing I should do.
I know electric models so I can test the electronics but after that I’m afraid I’m lost as to what to do first.
Hopefully here I’ll get some ideas. Thanks for all you do Nitro Guy 👊😎
Love your content dude always entertaining. Im jealous your reverse works. I have a tmaxx and the damn reverse dont work. It will go in reverse when it first starts up but crazy thing is i dont have channel 3 on when it does it. Whacky as hell
It goes in reverse when it needs to warms up. No idea why lol. But after it warms up it goes forward lol
hey bro! Question for you, which model T-maxx is this? I think it's the T-mAxx 2.5 classic if I'm not mistaken, because the 3.3 models don't have reverse. Anyway, I recently met a buddy who just got the new t-maxx 2.5 classic, and it's got the weirdest reverse system which clicks in and out constantly, apparently it's normal. Tell me which model, because it sounds like you need to adjust your reverse shift linkages and tighten up or remove some slack in the servo linkage line on the reverse servo by moving the stop collars in some.
Uhh that is a good question i got it off of ebay ill have to try and see if the info is still up. It has a ofna picco .21 engine in it that means anything to you. I cant open up the info for it. Ill tighten up the link and see if that helps
Come on Traxxas should make nitro X MAXX!
hey bro! I totally agree. But I guess this Revo is as close as we will ever come to a nitro monster truck from them. Nitrogang!!
@@hybrid32494 Maybe add bigger wheels on nitro Revo LOL!
Buy an xmaxx and run two nitro engines and transmissions. One for each diff.
@@KTMcaptain LOL yeah.
I hope that guy was joking or had more amps hiding in that car. That was nowhere near 8,000 watts.
there are 11000 watt amps so i think those were real
hey bro! gotta say that audio was way better than my Prius's JBL system, lol. And I'm still yelling to this day, ahahah. That audio was tight, I can't confirm the 8K watts or more, but it literally almost blew me away, lol. Nitrogang!!
@@hybrid32494 looking at the 2 amps there, he's only running bout 900 watts max. The jl amp is 300 watts and the Rockford looks like like a 600\2. Im sure it still sounds good. Quality equipment in there.
@@twinturbotony93 the rockford looks like a t1000 or t1500 but still not 8000w
You can't be good old-fashioned nitro RC horsepower I bet my weeks wages when you get the Schumacher menace 21 running up to speed I bet the Schumacher eat them for lunch ? Great video man 👌 and a little bit of German techno music
Those are both great rigs. If i had to buy a nitro tomorrow I'd go with the slayer, solid rig, 2nd choice would be the revo, but on another day I may take the revo first, just depends. Every time I watch one of your videos I can hear myself taking inventory on my old nitro rigs trying to remember what condition they are in and what it would take to get em rollin again. Ha. Ar this point I'd probably just buy a new one, ha.
Revo all the way
2nd!! There better be turkeys in this video hybrid!!😆😆
hahaha, that is the next video actually. This location has no turkeys. They only live in one area of Staten Island, lol. NItrogang!
Can you tell me more about the lawsuit with rc sailors? Epic vid those cars are awesome
hey bro, sure can. They reviewed a Remo mini S-maxx on their channel and got a community guideline strike (which is very serious business on RUclips) because Traxxas lawyers claim to "own" the trademark s-maxx. Funny thing is I reviewed the same REMO RC and I called it a version of some Traxxas model too, and traxxas does not bother me, because I'm the Nitrogang Leader bro. JK. But seriously, a strike on youtube is serious and could be taken to court to prove.
Wow that’s rediculous! Thanks for the info dude, I almost got the s maxx too😂 not that that matters
@@jrc-fabs1634 one day I will get the real Traxxas Sportmaxx, ONE day! Its basically a lighter and cheaper 2WD version of the T-maxx. Nitrogang!!
hybrid32494 I still have my sport maxx. Great condition, runs great. It was shelved for 15 years. Started running it again in May.
Awesome
Also I see you got a nitro buddy now? I have seen or heard that guy in more of your videos. Hey I am thinking of getting a brand new Revo myself since I want to experience reverse on a nitro
hey bro! Yup, that's one of my Nitrogang Buddy's. He was a local viewer of mine who I met up with in real life and we have been doing speed runs since bro! The Nitrogang sticks together around here, you know. The revo does kick some AS* I will admit that, but the T-maxx 3.3 is more reliable since it lacks reverse.
Nitro gang 🤙
hey bro! right on! Nitrogang had a good day today!! All the gears shifted, what else can we ask for? We a simple and smart bunch, lol.
Hey Hybrid, I am thinking the reason the bones brew is not performing very well with your trucks is bc they are not race motors. I am pretty sure bones brew was designed for racing. Like vp makes a master badger and master racer.
Hahahaha. Jeff had speakers in his car similar to that in his younger days. Nice speed runs. I have to say Nitro RCs are some kind of fast🤣.
hey Marion, AKA the (best Brap mother) for making Jeff awesome stickers, I told him I will put one on my prius for him and drive around with it. thanks for watching, is your boat on the horizon yet? lol?
hybrid32494 Awww thank you. Jeff checked status for me yesterday and still not shipped.😒
@@soblessed6438 yup, there seems to be alot of global shipping and product backups. I also ordered another green boat and it's not shipped either. IT's ok, the wait times really don't bother me honestly.
hybrid32494 Yep worth the wait😀
Hey jato and t-maxx, Revo and slayer pro 3.3 tsm are still popular nitro trucks. I love nitro gangs baby. Hey I got me a Traxxas Xo1. 100mph and I got a 4tec 2.0vxl 70mph
hey bro! I see you watched. few of my vids, glad you did! Anyway, I used to have an XO-1, that was a long time ago. Honestly didn't like It back then, it was one of the first edition models, always gave me radio issues. I have a video on this channel.
@@hybrid32494 oh ok.
Can't go wrong with the one you choose I'll take one revo nitro 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
hey bro! yup! The Slayer isn't mine from this video, but the Revo is! Nitrogang!! Those 2-speed shifts at the same time sound so good together, right! If I had like 5 of these running together and shifting together, that would be a damn Nitro ORGY!!
A company that’s actually gonna do something with hpi should buy it and build it back up to how they used to be !
Hi Hybrid,
Just getting back into Nitro!!!! Man I missed it🤣
Just got the Revo 3.3.....would u rather have a earlier shift or later shift to 2nd gear. ..I'm trying to tune it and I want maximum acceleration/ High end speed....plz help
Traxxas business practices are questionable at best. The rave footage is excellent
hey pal! whats up! Yes, I could discuss the Traxxas business strategy for a while, I cut most of it short here because too many people would get BUTT-HURT at the reality of capitalism. We can hate on their decisions as much as we want but reality is at the end of the day we all speak with our wallet. Since I've never purchased a new one I could bash them and still own them while not contradicting my views. you know.
@@hybrid32494 Agreed 100%. The cars are good but overpriced, and everybody has choice to buy it or not. If people would stop buying it, they would need to lower their prices. Google, Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Microsoft on the other hand, all have become monopolies and just buy up or put their competition out of business, their is no competition with them
Makes me want to take out my Nitro 4 Tec 3.3. 😎👍🏻
right on bro!! I used to have a 4-tec too. It was quite badass, 2 speed baby!! nitrogang!!
@@hybrid32494 lol, you have to get another one 👍🏻😎
What was the music in the car clip? Also NITRO GANG
hey bro! Sorry, I don't know the music from the car clip, I'll ask the owner for you, ok. That was not my music selection, if it was me, you would mostly only hear heavy alternative rock and metal, Nitrogang baby!
yeah i got 49mph on my slayer pro. I'm using 32% nitro fuel. I wanna get a revo 3.3 though. I like big trucks nitro.
hey my bro! I would say our speed results with stock gearing on the Slayer Pro are quite good, what brand nitro is that you're using btw? You could easily find a nice used revo 3.3, they are everywhere.
@@hybrid32494 I bought the cool power 30% nitro. sorry I think I said 32% on my comment. It was $39.99 at my local hobby shop and I bought the gallon
@@hybrid32494 I'm thinking about making nitro RC video contents on my youtube channel. But I mostly post all my videos on our local Facebook RC Group
Hey buddy! How did you mount up your lights on the front of the Raminator? I have a light bar from primal and I don't want to mount it to the roof.
This question has nothing to do with this video, but is there any chance you know where I could get a carb for a .18 mmgt 3.0 engine? I can’t seem to find one anywhere.
hey man! I just searched for the .18 team associated carb and engine all over. Not even ebay has any. Since it's probably a common 18 carb, I would try any spare small block carbs you might already have. Often times most of the HPI .15 carbs fit, I've been using an HPI G3.0 carb in an old OS .12 CV engine for years, and t's fine.
I would love a nitro slayer
hey bro! yes, it's a pretty Awesome chassis. Basically a REVO without all the extras and much lighter. Also handles very well at high speeds.
Tommro is the first run of my ofna titian my wife wants me to find another nitro basically a traxxas used something for her. she likes the slayer.gotta find one to work a trade.
I have a revo 3.3 and whenever I hit the brake it turns off I need some help I’m in the nitro gang I got a hpi savage x and a hpi hyper 21
whats up my fellow NItrogang brother! The issue you described could be multiple reasons. First you gotta check to see if your idle is not too low, it's possible when you hit the brakes the carb just closes too much, you need to raise your idle by turning the IDLE SETSCREW clockwise 1/4 of a turn to start with. Look up the instructions in the traxxas manual. DO this, and write me back, we will figure this out.
@@hybrid32494 I closed it all the way in and it still dies
@@martinshabo143 don't totally shut it off if no air intake means no fuel mixture
@ traxxas. Sick vids
hey man! thanks for watching!! I often get called a Traxxas Fanboy, and that may very well be, so far not a single RC brand has such a line of new Nitros they sell. Pretty much other than traxxas only LOSI and off-brands sell new Nitros at this point. LONG LIVE TRAXXAS!!!.
Lol I love your vids keep up the great work. ,
I wnna get a nitro but I’m stuck between a slayer and rustler … any recommendations??
Hey bro. I highly recommend the nitro slash or the t-maxx 3.3 only for you. I have vids on both. The nitro slash is a ln extended rustler chassis with a 3.3, very good combo if you want a 2wd.
@@hybrid32494 okay 👌🏽 I work a t a hobby store as well I like the slash but we r outta stock rn lol appreciate the feed back and yes the tmax has been eyeing me the whole time thanks for ur input I’ll let u know what I’ll take
@@andrewrojo7261 always glad to help! Make sure to let me know what you decide bro. If possible the t-maxx is the best overall in my opinion. only the 3.3 model, not the 2.5.
A 3 speed would sound so good on those cars
Why stop at 3? Make it bang off shifts like an F1 car and gear 1st to 20mph. Have 7th top out at 60 mph. Maybe come out with a 4cc version. Can even remove the Ez start motor and run it off the spur gear. You’d need a one way bearing in the clutch to allow the motor shaft to spin faster than the bell but won’t let the bell spin faster than the crank. Run the ez start motor in reverse to give it reverse and remove the reverse gear and servo.
I would hate for the slayer to get stuck on full throttle lol you wouldn’t be able to catch it
you right about that! Luckily the traxxas nitro systems all have very good throttle return springs, even if you have a radio issue or power gets disconnected the servo will return to natural. I've relies on this a couple times so far, btw.
Nitro👍
Is it ok to run the trx 3.3 engine lean. Like half a turn on the low speed and 2 and a half on the high speed needle. Using traxxas top fuel has lots of oil content. Because you can’t run the engine rich while using traxxas top fuel. I feel like it might be safe because it has lots of oil.
Oh man that engine is suffering
Makes me miss me original revo 2.5R... oh well, the standing backflips and 40 mph wheelies my erevo2.0 does more than makes up for that. Lol.
Where can I grab them nitro grang shirt my dude?
hey man! I'm in the process of getting some made and people could purchase them at their discretion! All I know is the Nitrogang is cooler and better than the annoying bikers that ride around and piss people off on the streets. If they biker gangs want some, I will race their Harleys with my BAJA, 1/8 Mile. I had enough complying with the status QUO! time I say the truth, Chicks who use filters are liers and they are not princesses who can make a fake living thru their instagram influencing.
When is the os18tz tear down video coming, it been to long lol
oh yeah i wanna drive to but sadly my revo is kinda acting up
hey bro! Sorry to hear that. This is the only revo out of 3 that I own that runs well and works. One needs a forward only conversion which I already purchased but need to install. what's the problem with your revo bro?
The slayer looks like the slash 4x4
hey buddy! Yes, the exterior looks very similar, you're right. The chassis is 100% different though. I recently got a used traxxas nitro slash to work on, you will see. The slayer is based on the Revo chassis, while the Nitro slash is based on the rustler chassis.
After done doing break in do i also do after run maintenance right?
hey buddy! If you're running the engine out of fuel you don't need to do anything else if you're running with a 2-4 week time frame. Generally if you're running more than a month apart you could put some after run oil though the carb and spin the engine over a little. But be very careful to not drop any dirt through the carb while you're removing the air filter (this typically will destroy your engine and pretty significant).
I need a nitro gang shirt
Bro. U can order one with the teespring link in the vids. I only make like a 2 dollar profit per shirt and im taking one fir the team to get the proper nitrogang approved spparel out there. Lol. Seriously. If teespring raises their costs anymore I will literally wind up, having to pay to have people order them. Lol.
Can you do that reverse for the Slayer?
yo dude!! The slayer comes with a forward only trans, and honestly trying to put in a reverse into it would not be a good idea. I don't know if it would fit or not, but the reverse is the weak part of every revo. In fact I just converted mine to run forward only.
I have a reverse on my Associated MGT 4.6 and it's very useful
I need some help! I’m trying to tune my nitro slash because it’s very rich, very thick blue smoke and oil just leaks out of the exhaust when I’m done with it, but I was leaning it out and I felt like I was going to take the whole needle out! It did get faster but I don’t know if the extra amount of smoke is a good thing!
hey man! Thanks for watching, lets see if we can help you out. Alot of smoke is fine, but not to the point that the motor becomes very sluggish and tends to spit out alot of oil. You said you leaned it out and you saw the needle almost come out? That is not leaning it out, that is richening the motor. Lean is clockwise, rich is counterclockwise. You should always start about 3.5 turns from full closed on the high speed needle, then go from there. Let me know.
@@hybrid32494 yeah, I started from 4 turns out from all the way in, and leaned it clockwise. Although performance did feel better, the smoke and oil kept on coming, and it was very thick, not light smoke, I don’t think it affects it if this is a new motor as I’m doing this after I finished break in
I’m I’ve been debating between revo nitro tmax nitro or the jato
i can pickup a Vintage Kyosho Quad Rider ATV Nitro with chain drive for 120 $ is that good never painted
Hey nitro gang. Good video Hybrid.
As you know Dimitri, I absolutely HATE Traxxas' business model. Problem is, I do like Traxxas products. At least once the ridiculous out of the box weaknesses are addressed.
My personal form of protest is that I only buy used Traxxas vehicles and I try to avoid purchasing new Traxxas parts. I want to enjoy the hobby and the vehicles I enjoy playing with however, I want Traxxas to make as little, to no, profit from my purchase either directly or indirectly. This is just my personal opinion and my personal policy as it applies to Traxxas.
It's bad enough that Traxxas sells RTR products with ridiculously low quality parts that are not designed to hold up to what the vehicle is advertised or intended to do/drive away from. Very few Traxxas vehicles are actually "tough" out of the box. Many can be made tough but, for any reliability from a Traxxas RC, save the X-Maxx, they all need parts after the first good run.
I despise corporate bullies. Well truthfully, all bullies. I personally do not take well to attempts to force an outcome via a position of power. I will always push back and push back both aggressively and stubbornly!
I knew that Traxxas sued Arrma and that resulted in Arrma going bankrupt. I also know that it was actually done for the explicit purpose of crippling, who they saw as competition. Traxxas' lawsuit against Arrma was not truely about fair business practices or patients, it was really about tying things up in court and kneecaping one of their main direct competitors. I'm not sure on this but my understanding is that had Arrma been in a financial position to see the lawsuit to its completion, they would have had a good chance at winning the lawsuit. Ultimately Arrma went bankrupt, not because they were in the wrong so much as they couldn't afford to defend themselves any further thus settled the case while going belly up. This was Traxxas' desired outcome all along. I'm also not sure about this so fact check me, but the lawsuit wasn't so much the desigh of the lay down shocks but the name given to the design. IDK for sure if that's accurate or not. Regardless, I am so glad that in the long run, Arrma came back better than ever.
Does anyone know if Traxxas had a dirty hand in Losi's financial problems? I had thought they had with HPI, but I don't know for sure or what/why. Did Traxxas play any roll in Losi's financial issues or was it was just legitimate competition?
All of that said, this I find the most troubling. I knew that Traxxas threatened the RC Saylors in an attempt to suppress their constitutional rights to having an opinion and stating said opinions on their RUclips channel. I however, did not know that they attempted to sue them. So you're telling me that, Traxxas tried to completely financially ruin a young family, because they gave an honest review of the impression they had of a Traxxas product? Now my understanding is that, Traxxas sent them 1 vehicle to review. The RC Saylors, I believe, only give honest reviews and demonstrate any shortcomings that they find. They are honest and fair but, they don't really set a very high bar either so if they say something is a problem, it is a problem. Anyhow, apparently they were unaware that Traxxas expects/demands only positive reviews of there products. Now again, my understanding is that they gave a positive review of the vehicle however, they expressed a less than positive experience with the Traxxas Batteries. As a result, at some point, Traxxas threatened them and even went as far as to say that if they even mention the Traxxas name in one of their videos, that they would be sued. Obviously this is part of the Traxxas corporate policy to intimidate bully and decimate anyone who gets in their way. Traxxas literally said, that if they exercised their 1st Amendment rights as citizens of the United States of America, that they would attempt to financially ruin a young entrepreneurial family via frivolous lawsuits that they could not afford to defend. Sickening IMO!
So, do you think Traxxas is a corporate bully? How do you feel about empowering them with your purchase/money? They may not miss my $, that however is not my point. I as 1 person may not affectually hurt Traxxas by not directly or indirectly putting profits in Traxxas' pockets but, it makes me feel like I'm doing the right thing in my mind. Again, JMHO!
Do you agree? It's okay if you don't.
Yo bro can you help me with my brakes because it’s not grabbing hard like your revo. When I press the brake and pull the rc the wheels still move but you can feel little bit of braking. I adjusted the brakes both sides, the calipers are still good, it might be the servo.
hey bro! Got a question for you, did you adjust the brake linkage itself? Its highly possible the servo horn is not in the right location and thats why your adjustment is still not giving you any braking. Generally the linkage itself is not correctly adjusted. Also are you sure the threaded brake rod adjustment is as tight as it should be? The chance of the brake pad and caliper being bad is very low, usually the linkage is just not applying enough force.
2 speed for the win :p
you said it my dude! Some electrics could be faster but they don't have that 2-speed. THat's what it's all about. When it shifts you just get happy!, you know, cause it works, lol. Nitrogang!!
@@hybrid32494 True. Also when it shifts you think right away: "I hope the brakes work because im gonna need them soon" lol
@@Tiago_Martins thats too!! yes, that's why I often times mention how good the brakes are, because you definitely need them, ahaha.
Where did you get the topper for the bones brew bottle?
hey buddy! That is just a fuel spout from a random fuel bottle I had. BTW the bones brew sells their own filler spouts for super simple fueling.
Oh shit is that Staten Island Miller field lol
hey bro! that's 100% right. I'm a Staten Islander my dude! If you watch my newer videos you might notice most of them were recorded at the RC track in Staten Island. Nitrogang baby!! You're totally welcome to come and RC whenever you want.
@@hybrid32494 yea I followed you on ig I noticed the south beach track. I’ve actually never had an RC before just started looking into them. Maybe one day I’ll come by haha
Can we see your traxxas slash
I need help my rc slayer turns off when I accelerate
hey my dude! It could be a result of a very rich tune. Do you notice alot of smoke and oil coming rom the pipe? Also how is the engine temp? Usually if the temps are under 190 you're running on the rich side which caused excess oil to not burn up and will tend to bog down and shut the motor off. Give me more info, but try to lean it out some first, (turn the high speed needle 1/4 turn clockwise).
i follow your videos...& im also a member group in FB...
hey man! how you doing! I'm glad to hear that! You're helping make Nitro Great again in more ways than one, lol...
What bodies fit on the Slayer other than the stock?
hey my dude! how you doing! Thanks for watching, well for the bodies im not aware of any bodies for the slayer. There are plenty for the slash 4x4, they might be the same. Its best to go with the stock body, it's got great cooling, looks fine, and holds up well.
He slows it down so early 😂 can’t find out speed like that
Wish we had more space, but in this video the slayer pro got a top speed of 46MPH.
Mines pops wheelies like its nobody's business and I have a tm 21 revo that pops second gear wheelies tune baby tune
Nitro is just too hard to bash, ripping around in a parking lot is always fun but nitro just isn't reliable enough to really handle a modern day bash session. Can you imagine nitro in the skate park, ha, that would be hilarious.
My ears are rinning 😂
I Really like your music Taste 🔊🔊🔊🔊 bambambam😅
THUNDERDOME
hey bro!! thanks! I figured somebody would enjoy those old Thunderdone clips!! Nitrogang!!
How fast was your revo in this video?
Can someone help me out with tuning my hpi 5B Baja 30.5 cc ? I’m new to the gas rc cars .
What’s up with it?
Is the revo 4x4?
hey buddy! Yes, the REVO and the Slayer are both 4 wheel drive. Nitrogang!!
Traxxas sues everyone so stupid they just put a new lawsuit against another company for using the word mmax 🙄 just got my outcast 8s and opened it last night and it came with broken drive shaft and every bolt in the chassis was loose and they didn't even connect my chassis brace it was just flopping around on my chassis. Uhg. So no bashing for me this weekend dang it. I put a picture on Facebook and Jason the owner of arrma said basically i shouldn't whine about minor problems and file a warranty claim. Lol
I got a gas dbxl with a rovan 36cc with some mods for sale. If interested let me know.
hey man! how you doing. Thanks for the offer, im not looking for a 1/5 scale at this time, just recently purchased a couple used ones. thanks though my dude..
