Ordering one as a treat for my first paycheck at my summer job. Boss said I could use the big field after the summer campers are gone for the weekend. Do you think I should go with 33% nitro or plain 20%?
@samleen that's awesome! I believe you'll love it! I use 20% in all my nitros. I say start off with 20%. 33% has a smaller tuning window making it more difficult to tune especially for newcomers. Good luck!
@@Dre357 I tune small engines as a hobby. I bought one of those Chinese 4 cycle twins a year or so ago that uses the same type of carb. Would be fun to put that engine in it someday. 2.5hp after porting and lapping valves
@speedgears1236 thanks for the feedback. No. I don't believe it's needed. Just recommended. It makes tuning simpler and puts out better low end torque. That's been my experience. You could still get a decent tune with the stock carburetor though. Hope this helps!
@DavidAnderson-gp1zu that's funny, because I thought about doing that myself with a spare Revo 2.5R. I was going to attempt to recreate the original Slayer. Reverse can definitely be useful a times though. Currently, only 2 of my nitros have reverse. I've just gotten use to not having it.
LOL when you smacked that garbage can, your neighbors must hate you. Can definitely relate to that
LOL. They don't the guy that lives there is in the hobby as well. He understands. 🤣
Just got a slayer pro. Looks like an amazing machine. I still need to do break in . Nice vid
@@REightch you'll love that slayer pro! Thanks for the feedback!
Why am I liking the slash more? Better power / weight ratio? Craziness of a rear drive vehicle?
@HNunyabusiness i can see why. Quicker and more agile. Can also do wheelies with a good tune. Thanks for your feedback!
Great comparison video!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@@samleen awesome! Sounds like you're good to go!
Looks awesome
@@Beta200F thanks!
Great comparison ✌️
@@michaelgraham2943 thanks!
Grate comparison. I wanted to ask you is the OS carb a needed upgrade in your opinion? Thanks for the video

@@Dre357 Thank you
@@speedgears1236 anytime
Slayer is on the revo chassis and comes in a 2.5 or 3.3 and the 3.3 chassis is longer then the 2.5 chassis
That's right. Slayer 2.5 Slayer Pro 3.3. 👍
@@Dre357 I convert my revos to slayers so I get reverse

I just got me a traxxas nitro slash
Awesome! They're a lot of fun!
