HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- Welcome back everyone, today we are breaking in the Revo 3.3. We will be using 20% Nitro fuel by Sidewinder (only Nitro fuel we had available in our area). Always refer to your owners manual for warnings, precautions, and additional safety information. We are new to Nitro and are learning as we go so if there is anything we are leaving out please leave a comment. Stay tuned in for upcoming first run of the Revo 3.3 along with a maintenance video.
If you have any questions please feel free to leave us a comment, email, or one of our other social media platforms. Thank you for watching

Thank you for this video
Thanks for watching
Great video. Congratulations!!
Love my Revo! I just broke it in about the same time you did, and I love it. I have the blue one too. I put a nice Integy wheelie bar on it
Video coming out Wednesday, not too happy with Traxxas and the Revo Support. But I am happy to report the replacement motor runs awesome.
@@redbanditracing that’s not good, what happened to the engine?
It must of had a leak causing it to run hot all the time. It ran that way out of the box.
Bro great video love the revo and the tmaxx great trucks
Glad you enjoyed
Going to be running through this soon, thanks for the vid! I know everyone has their own method, but I think following the manufacturers advice is best for us beginners
I would not follow the Traxxas break in, we learned a lot of DONTS!!! The motor needs heat cycles, and a smooth break in. I’d follow this procedure, it worked great on our Losi 8ight. Losi 8ight RTR | Break In

@@redbanditracing will look into it, thank you
hey thanks Im used to the different style 3 screw carbs ,im also out of touch its been about 10 years ,put my duratrax nitro evader on the shelf as parts are hard to come by and grabbed the slayer pro which is pretty similar, been having trouble carb tuning and you summed up my issues
Yeeevhawww
Thank you for this Video I've only ran electric cars and was at a loss on how to get it running.
I suggest the next time you break in any engine you do heat cycles and let the engine idle though a couple tanks, that connecting rod in the 3.3 is extremely weak and putting strain on it by pulling the trigger will make it stretch. Not trying to be a dick, just giving advice. As always keep on burning nitro man!
Your not being a dick, that’s great advise. Check out our Losi 8igjt RTR break in video, idled a few tanks, then proceeded to run through 5 more tanks and it runs so much better.
Can I add to this and rememind folks that while it cools, to make sure the piston is off the sleeve so at the bottom. I forgot to do this on a new engine I had and I wasn't very happy.
Great video how long does a tank last ?
Each tank can run from 10-15 minutes.
We like the video we got the traxxas 3.3
I’d follow my Losi 8ight break in rather than the Traxxas method
very good fuel this is i broke in my 1st engine on this sidewinder fuel i had no issues with this fuel.... its great fuel!!!... stick with the sidewinder nitro fuel, the traxxas nitro fuel has too much oil, engine will run hotter with a less tuning window...
In the process of replacing engine under warranty I’ll update everyone on that once it happens. But is runs hot, between 230-255° for 5min. Then ramps to 265-280° around 7min (no sustained rpm, tuning adjustments don’t help).
Traxxas gas?
I have a question, all the videos say check the temperature. But none say what the temp should be. Can you please tell me the range I am trying for and how to raise and lower it? I bought my Revo 3.3 today. Getting ready to take it out soon.
I’ve heard 190-220°, I’ve also heard up to 240° is okay as long as it’s getting sufficient fuel for lubrication. I’d use the Losi break in, it works a lot better. Losi 8ight RTR | Break In

heat gun is best for longevity
One question. On your cool down. Did you lower the piston below the pinch point?
Always
How do you know piston is on down stroke for the cool down?
Haha why are we having a quiz today
Also, it’s not true that 20 percent has more oil. 30 percent can have just as much oil and even more. Depending on the mix.
How is the EZ start system? Ive seen a lot of people remove it and use the igniter and pull start. No sure how the pull start works with that body either.
EZ start so far works great, if that ever fails I will switch to the pull start and igniter. Removing all that stuff does really help in repairs because it takes up a lot of room. Thank you for the question.
Is VP racing fuel a good brand?
I’ve heard nothing but good things about VP, never tried it. But I’ve also heard of Traxxas engines hard to tune using anything but Top fuel.
Traxxas doesn't specify whether or not the body has to stay on. I was thinking about keeping mine off for the break in to make tuning easier
I’d leave it off, honestly doesn’t matter. But it’s a little easier to tune during the break in with the body off.
I just idle a tank of nitro through mine and make sure it gets to operating temp for the break in. it works like normal. I think the only reason they tell you to break in an rc car is so that way it doesn't void the warranty. and so that way you buy more fuel and need to buy a new glow plug and stuff quicker.
I agree, I ran a lot of tanks before full throttle. Runs great when it’s adjusted, I’m no pro at nitro. Running it tomorrow, first time in awhile
@redbanditracing just got a 3.3 to replace my 2.5r...what do you truly recommend for the break in process?
How is this holding up for you??? Ready to break in my new 3.3..
@@damonbridgmon7199 its been fine.. no issues. i had to send my car back though due to runaway issues. new car coming soon. going to use the same break in i always use.
Does it come with the phone mount for the transmitter or did you buy that separately?
Comes separate
Is the battery that controls throttle servo and steering servo suppose to die every tank you run through for break in procedure?
It seems to die after 2 tanks for me, doesn’t last very long at all
Metal gear is better first time i ran mine it ripped the gear all up mesh was set right
Definitely, a $500 RC shouldn’t come with plastic spur gears.
@@redbanditracing yep
Stick with the sidewinder fuel, Traxxas fuel has way to much oil in it
Sounded lean a few times. If you hear that weird rattling hesitation sound, it is lean. Should always have a nice trail of smoke.
This stock engine does not last no matter how you break it in! I would not recommend this break in method. This guy is definitely an amateur.
It’s pretty obvious we’re not used to tuning nitro, I stated that several times. Your comments also don’t help anyone.
@@redbanditracinghey Man U did awesome breaking it in loved your video super helpful !
