Awsome video as always jetlag, I'm in love with nitro. Started with electric, learned the in's and out of electric and said screw it lets give nitro a try. Bought me a T-Maxx 3.3 (4907) as a tester and now I'm hooked. Love the noise, smell, wrenching, and smoother power deliver of nitro. For anyone that wants to jump into nitro but is apprehensive, I bought the book Ultimate Nitro Engine Guide, it was a big help. Keep up the cool videos!!
Thanks! Yes nitro is a blast! and you can order the tires and rims directly from Traxxas on their website, or at about any online hobby store that sells Traxxas gear.
Yes savage x is a great truck. I have a buddy that has one and I have driven it several times. I happen to be a huge traxxas fan so I have mostly traxxas trucks, but the Savage is awesome too.
Rock on. Nitro's are great. Just follow the instructions on the break-in and you will have a great engine. The T-MAXX in this video has been running the same engine for over 3 years and it still rocks!
lol. Both trucks have a huge following. That's because they are both great trucks. I lean towards the Traxxas Revo because I am a Traxxas fan, but both are very capable monsters.
you know you just inspired me to go buy a nitro! Although i dont know much about nitro and maintenance. you should make a nitro series for beginners! lol
love it man ,, nice 1 bedlem on the nitro front,, im electric hardcore,, ERBe and EMBe e firestorm, mini x ray 1/18,., thats my kit list.., all elec electric ftw,., hehe,, nitro give,s me a sour head at the track.,.,
First, i would like to give you mad props for your videos, i love them. Second, no offense but you look kind of funny in this video when you have your hero on your controller and you are following your truck with it.
you need to take all the steering linkages off and see what is binding. you might have to take it all apart to see which part is causing it to be tight. There is great diagrams on Traxxas website that shows you an exploded view of the truck so you can make sure and get it back together right. I use them all the time.
Try putting a diff locker in the rear end of the tmaxx or revo. It turns them in to a drifting machine on any surface. I did it to both of mine and it was a blast!
Yes, for racing sway bars are great.... but for bashing it's actually more fun to not have it. I don't mind rolling the trucks. It makes good video clips and doesn't hurt them at all. lol.
lmao. Yes that's what happens when you are driving at 45+ mph and turn your head for a second because you think you hear a car coming. it actually rolled/flew down a 10 foot hill at the side of the road. I was amazed that the truck wasn't hurt at all and neither was the camera. but it made a good clip. lol.
Don't be jealous. I work my ass off 60+ hrs a week to afford it. lol. Yes I have 2 cameras, but only 1 on the TX. The other one is the one you are watching thru sitting on a tripod. lol. Probably what you saw was me holding the glow igniter in my hand while I was driving. I tend to do that in case the engine stalls then I can give it a quick start right there. :)
Well that's a very tough choice. They are both flagship trucks for traxxas with millions of sales each. But if you plan to race, the Revo is a bit better at cornering and racing in general. If you just want a basher, then either is great. You won't be sorry either way, so just go with the one you like the looks of. :)
mate that is amazing! i gotta admit the noise is great, unless it's too loud :P but nitros looks so fun. i mean, i almost have to get one just to hear it. how do you find those tyres and geode rims cause i was planning on putting them tallmaxxs+geode on my e-maxx :-) lemme know any thoughts (thumbs up / 10 stars)
Rofl... Well There's a lot to be said for electric models... clean, quiet, powerful - just to name a few.... But I've been running r/c models for over 20 years and there is just NO WAY I am ever giving up the sound of screaming engines and the smell of burning nitro. lol.
rofl. I bet you think you're the first one to say that... EVERYBODY thought I looked funny filming the trucks with the gopro. Some of the comments were hilarious. :)) Since I don't have my own film crew on hand I had to do all the work myself. And I was focused on getting good video, not posing for GQ. But I guess that's pretty obvious. lmao.
lol. Thanks man. Whenever I do one of these vids I always get a good laugh from all the nitro bashers and electric bashers. Like there can be only one!!! This isn't "The Highlander" rofl. I have many of both kinds and love them all. I really couldn't give a rat's ass what anybody else likes. rofl...
I wish I could run Nitro in my neighborhood, but unfortunately I live around old people who made motorized scooters illegal back in 2005... Oh well I guess I need to be using electric cuz I live in Minnesota and its not too stunning when it snows in May, and i need to drive in wet conditions.
Well, I wouldn't do that. Slash 4x4 is still very cool. Just get 2 sets of batteries or 3 sets if you can afford it. I'm not saying electric is bad. I love electric. I just also love nitro. They are both cool.
@jetlag2222 haha if you squint....ya right more like cover both eyes cuz there is no way =P. But as always cool video man I so want a t-maxx or Revo = / My jato is awesome but, Its sorta small and no 4 wheel drive =( lol.
Thanks Buddy!! appreciate the props! And what the hell are you talking about "looking silly" If you squint just a bit that looks just like Sylvester Stallone without his makup. :))
Yeah, nitro is not good in town. lol. But you can still run them, you just have to join a club with a track. There is usually several in any large town.
i want to either get into nitro or gasoline trucks, buggies, etc. and i already own/owned some electrics over the past few years. but the only thing that keeps me from getting nitro is my local hobby shop is shut down for good, so i would have to order nitro off the internet. Gas is very cheap, but for the price of the car and speed and overall performance, i dont think its worth it. nitro is more capable to do things... but do you think i should do nitro and order off the internet??? thank!
@VideoGamePlayer12 you can still run nitro rc cars cuz same with my place but i run my trucks around ( so does my friends and brithers ) and nothen lol
lol. Everyone has their own opinion... Yes electric is fun and I love them too, but when you're batteries all run down, I will just fill up again and keep on running. :)) You know what I'm talking about with gas.. even more so. lol.
you see the fact that you have to say. nitro will never die. implys that even you have a doubt that it will stay strong in the future. just like the millions out there that are on brushless. yes i love nitro 2 but i have all electric modles now from trx. and they are better, but GAS WILL NEVER DIE haha i love my baja 5b way more than any shit nitro but I LIKE MY TRX BRUSHLESSES BETTER THAN MY 1K baja 5b thats how good they are
Thanks for the 5 stars. It's kind of tough driving and filming. lol. But I didn't have anyone to hold the camera that day.
Awsome video as always jetlag, I'm in love with nitro. Started with electric, learned the in's and out of electric and said screw it lets give nitro a try.

For anyone that wants to jump into nitro but is apprehensive, I bought the book Ultimate Nitro Engine Guide, it was a big help. Keep up the cool videos!!
This vid is an authentic nitro tribute! I just bought my first nitro and I'm very excited to brake it in and drive it, and sure, nitro will never die!
Thanks! Yes nitro is a blast! and you can order the tires and rims directly from Traxxas on their website, or at about any online hobby store that sells Traxxas gear.
Gotta love slow mo's! Good job bro, thumb's up!
Yes savage x is a great truck. I have a buddy that has one and I have driven it several times. I happen to be a huge traxxas fan so I have mostly traxxas trucks, but the Savage is awesome too.

Thanks buddy! I had fun making this one. Haven't had the nitro boys out in a while.
those revo donuts were sick
Thanks man! Yes getting the nitros out for the 1st time this season felt good! I'm looking forward to you videos!
Thanks dude! I'm an electric fan too! I have many electric trucks, but I also like nitro. It's ok to like both. lol.
Thank you
lol. Both trucks have a huge following. That's because they are both great trucks. I lean towards the Traxxas Revo because I am a Traxxas fan, but both are very capable monsters.
Well, I am an electric fan too, you have seen all my electric trucks. But I still love nitro. The raw power and noise is awesome. :)
MAn, that was FRICKING AWESOME! I am glad I'm not the only one that looks silly filming and driving at the same time. rofl. Great video brother!!!!!
Thanks!
Thanks man!
I love my REVO. It rocks!
another great film ;-)
Thanks dude. :)

Me too!

rofl. That was a friend sitting at my desk.. since I was still logged in it looked like it came from me. :)
Well I will just have to try to top it then. :)) Thx dude!

Your best video ever!!!
Seek and destroy!
nice driving/filming ;D
5*
lol. That's right. HD Hero velcroed to the bottom of the TX. I don't usually act that odd without a reason. :)
rofl. OK, maybe not. Yeah the Jato is super fast though! killer onroad.
You know it man! Nitro is still strong... go to any serious r/c race event. :)
Try putting a diff locker in the rear end of the tmaxx or revo. It turns them in to a drifting machine on any surface. I did it to both of mine and it was a blast!
It's all it how you tune it and what fuel you run. Also make sure your slipper clutch is tightened when you want to do wheelies. :))
Yes, for racing sway bars are great.... but for bashing it's actually more fun to not have it. I don't mind rolling the trucks. It makes good video clips and doesn't hurt them at all. lol.
No 2.4ghz @ 1:30 and before and after??
Nice movie. They sound well tuned.
Yes T-MAXX has rocked for years. If you watch close you will see that I have 2 different bodies on T-MAXX, plus the red body on the REVO. :)
lmao. Yes that's what happens when you are driving at 45+ mph and turn your head for a second because you think you hear a car coming. it actually rolled/flew down a 10 foot hill at the side of the road.

i love been a camera man, i would be your camera man if i live near of you ;D
hey awome vid!!!!!! if you dont mind i need some adsvise wheather o get te revo 3.3 or the t-maxx 3.3? please respond
what is better for a first nitro truck the t-maxx 3.3 or the revo 3.3?
Took me a while to figure out why you seemed to be following the truck with your radio. Theres a camera on there. Probably an HD Hero. Am I right?
Well that's a very tough choice. They are both flagship trucks for traxxas with millions of sales each. But if you plan to race, the Revo is a bit better at cornering and racing in general. If you just want a basher, then either is great. You won't be sorry either way, so just go with the one you like the looks of. :)
lol
someone *cough cough* looks dorkiee trying to drive and film at the same time. i should try that!
mate that is amazing! i gotta admit the noise is great, unless it's too loud :P but nitros looks so fun. i mean, i almost have to get one just to hear it.
how do you find those tyres and geode rims cause i was planning on putting them tallmaxxs+geode on my e-maxx :-)
lemme know any thoughts
(thumbs up / 10 stars)
wait for jetlag222 the movie lol
revo 3.3 is the BEST nitro monstertruck of the year!!! suck on that savage!!!
Rofl... Well There's a lot to be said for electric models... clean, quiet, powerful - just to name a few.... But I've been running r/c models for over 20 years and there is just NO WAY I am ever giving up the sound of screaming engines and the smell of burning nitro. lol.
what is the diffrence ?
you should make a t-maxx vs revo vid like the summit vs e-maxx
Is the traxxas revo 5309 alot of clean up and stuff like that?
What is the mateirial you use for the ramp? 5/5*
which is better tmaxx 3.3 or revo 3.3? im thinking about getting my first nitro here in a month or so. is it very hard to take care of them?
hi man, i have a Revo 5309 too and i want to know how you do wheelies with yours, because mine dind't do that... =/
how many hp has the 3.3 engine?
@jetlag2222 I agree 110%
Hey jetlag what percent of fuel do you recommend?
rofl. I bet you think you're the first one to say that... EVERYBODY thought I looked funny filming the trucks with the gopro. Some of the comments were hilarious. :)) Since I don't have my own film crew on hand I had to do all the work myself. And I was focused on getting good video, not posing for GQ. But I guess that's pretty obvious. lmao.
jetlag i might get a T-maxx soon from a hobby store can u tell me the diffrence between the regular one and the 2.4ghz one? please and thank you
hmm, understand... i use the traxxas 20%, i want to know about the needles...
lol. Thanks man. Whenever I do one of these vids I always get a good laugh from all the nitro bashers and electric bashers. Like there can be only one!!! This isn't "The Highlander" rofl. I have many of both kinds and love them all. I really couldn't give a rat's ass what anybody else likes. rofl...
I wish I could run Nitro in my neighborhood, but unfortunately I live around old people who made motorized scooters illegal back in 2005... Oh well I guess I need to be using electric cuz I live in Minnesota and its not too stunning when it snows in May, and i need to drive in wet conditions.
Are those your only nitro trucks?
Well, I wouldn't do that. Slash 4x4 is still very cool. Just get 2 sets of batteries or 3 sets if you can afford it. I'm not saying electric is bad. I love electric. I just also love nitro. They are both cool.
@jetlag2222 haha if you squint....ya right more like cover both eyes cuz there is no way =P. But as always cool video man I so want a t-maxx or Revo = / My jato is awesome but, Its sorta small and no 4 wheel drive =( lol.
HAHA i was wondering why you looked so goofy when you were in shot. But then i worked it out, there is a camera on your controller right ?
E-MAXX or T-MAXX 3.3
how you like your revo cause i love mine NITRO FOR LIFE !!!!!!!!!!! >->O
Thanks Buddy!! appreciate the props! And what the hell are you talking about "looking silly" If you squint just a bit that looks just like Sylvester Stallone without his makup. :))
yeah:) i am working on uploading an new vid now off my 1/18 scale touring car, cheak it out wen it`s opluaded, and se that sick speed.
im thinking of selling my brand new slash 4x4, and picking up a revo 3.3, i hate charging batterys...
Yeah, nitro is not good in town. lol. But you can still run them, you just have to join a club with a track. There is usually several in any large town.
i want to either get into nitro or gasoline trucks, buggies, etc. and i already own/owned some electrics over the past few years. but the only thing that keeps me from getting nitro is my local hobby shop is shut down for good, so i would have to order nitro off the internet. Gas is very cheap, but for the price of the car and speed and overall performance, i dont think its worth it. nitro is more capable to do things... but do you think i should do nitro and order off the internet??? thank!
@VideoGamePlayer12
you can still run nitro rc cars
cuz same with my place
but i run my trucks around ( so does my friends and brithers )
and nothen lol
Revo 3.3 bs t maxx 3.3
lol. Everyone has their own opinion... Yes electric is fun and I love them too, but when you're batteries all run down, I will just fill up again and keep on running. :)) You know what I'm talking about with gas.. even more so. lol.
Awesome video, but i wouldn't reccomend doing what you did on 2:00 again. poor jeep.
rofl
you see the fact that you have to say. nitro will never die. implys that even you have a doubt that it will stay strong in the future. just like the millions out there that are on brushless. yes i love nitro 2 but i have all electric modles now from trx. and they are better, but GAS WILL NEVER DIE haha i love my baja 5b way more than any shit nitro but I LIKE MY TRX BRUSHLESSES BETTER THAN MY 1K baja 5b thats how good they are
ROFL
Thanks!!
Thanks man!
rofl
Thanks man!
