Hi! A small tip from one of nitro enthusiasts :) Before engine break-in, preheat the engine. You can use anything - a heater, hot air gun, dryer, even a burner can do the job if you will be careful. The piston and sleeve will expand and firstly - the engine will start more easily, secondly, there should be a little better compression and the parts should last longer before they wear. Thanks for another interesting movie. Watching your movies is a pleasure! I wish I had a camera with I could record my nitro cars without the help of another person... :c
Hey man! Im totally happy to hear that! If you ever have any issues or questions please do leave me a comment on here or any newer video and I'll do my best to give you good advice!! Nitro 4 life!
Jang is who got me into rc’s. The first video I watched of his was on the electrix rc boost, now branded as the ecx boost. That vehicle is what got me started into the hobby and have been into it pretty much ever since
I've been in rc for 20 years and personally I like tsm. About 20% on the dial really stabilizes things and makes bashing more fun. I can live without it but I like it.
hey man! I agree, I like the TSM gyro feature, I just try to present all sides, the irrational TSM hater's POV too, lol, you know. I am currently upgrading some of my RCs to run the Flysky GT5 with the BS6 receiver, the one with the built in gyro, will be doing testing on that soon.
hey bro!! Yup! This might be the current best Traxxas, other than the T-maxx 3.3 ofcourse. Unfortunately this one is not mine, but I'm happy traxxas is still making nitros even though they probably will stop that soon too.
hybrid32494 T-maxx 3.3 all day,every day bro 👊 Always wanted the 3.3 slash......may have to pick one up before they stop making them . Take care bruv 👊😎
Trust me I will I've watched alot of your videos on it.really like your content.wanted blue slash pro all I could get was red I'm so fired up first nitro. got alot of electric trucks something was missing.second gear baby let's go.
@@Randolphburtt384 soon you're going to be yelling 2-speed baby!!! and absolutely nobody around u will understand, ahah! But they dont matter unless they r in the NitroGang!!.
hey my dude! Thanks for watching! BTW there was an updated video featuring this RC after the break in, I did some crazy speed runs, you should be able to find it on the channel .
I bought very dirty Slayer from someone. I could tell that the person who ran it never turned a single screw on it; with exception to changing it to 17mm hubs and a pull start. Almost done rebuilding it. I can't wait to take it for a rip!
hey bro! What can I say, Legos probably have less haters, lol. ahahah. I rem that was one of his reasons for leaving the hobby grade RC scene, I guess he let them get to him. Meanwhile I challenge my haters to a live video debate and chat, and yet not one person has yet to accept, go figure!! lol.

I love the slayer pro truck ive had mine for about 6 years and it takes a ptetty good beating..only issues ive had is the manifiold for the exhaust breaks farely easy so upgraded to a THS exhaust..no more issues..happy 4th!!!
hey bro! Happy 4th! Nitrogang!! I'll soon be doing speed runs with this truck, im hopping to hit 45+ as traxxas claims. Thats interesting you had exhaust manifold issues, it's the same setup on all traxxas models, and veneer had an issue. But it's possible, THS is the way to go for sure. I used to have it for a HPI Nitro years ago.
hey my dude! thanks for watching, yes, this model is very nice. There is another video on this with a speed run, it got 46 MPH without even getting hot or running lean. Great RC right here.
hey man! I highly recommend you get this truck, you will not be disappointed. Lots of great parts support and tons of people know how to work on these too. Use the link in the video description, that is the cheapest you will find one of these for too btw.
sup bro! I did too, I know. But then I though of all the Pizzas I could be getting for like the next half a year, ahaha. This one is my buddy's RC. Used these go for too much, so looks like I won't be getting it used either. Gotta wait like ten years for prices to flat line, hahaa.
Jeromey White yup. That sounds about right for what they sell. Id say over 300 for a used traxxas is alot for me. Still good value overall though compared to new. But ofcourse u cant beat them toaster and bagel prices 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻
hey bro!! Yes, I will never forget Jang from URC, I mention him in many of my vids. His video style was mostly my inspiration over the years. I don't have access to the track he used, but I do what I can, you know.
hey dude! how you doing! Yes, these are some of the best all around nitro models! I have some other videos on it, you gotta check them out, This was just the break in video, you need to see the real tuning vids! It will blow you away, as I'm sure you already know how awesome these are. NitroGang! Btw I commented on another post about you emailing on the RS4 hybrid32494@hotmail.com
whats ups my dude! I like that, Unfortunately this Slayer isn't mine, but I will see it again and we will be doing some speed runs. You need some nitro bro, Electrics are easier though for sure. I'm down with any RC, but the NitroGang loves the NITRO!!
thanks my guy!! Unfortunately this one is not mine, but I will be doing speed runs with it soon. The owner is a cool dude, and let me do a video of the first start. NitroGang!!
hey man!! Thanks! This one isn't mine, but the owner is a cool guy and let me do a first start and break in video on this. Soon we will be doing speed runs. I was literally about to buy this thing myself, but then I got cheap, lol. IF these sold for around 400 I'd be getting it ASAP.
hey my guy! Right on! This is an awesome SCT truck, and a very good handling chassis at top speeds. I honestly want you to get it so you can confirm for everyone here that this is not POS compared to LOSI and Kyosho. In fact there is no other Nitro SCT like this on the market at this time. Stimulus money RC baby!!!!!
Oohhhlala sexy times! I had a slash 4×4 pro with the upgraded aluminum parts in 2009 and was going to get the slayer but ended up with a tmaxx 3.3 so nice nothing like a new rc!👌👍
The Boss Of The Nitro Gang does it again. Touring cars are my heart but this Traxxas might be one for future. Would love to see you get the chance to do some speed runs?
hey dude! Yes, I will be doing speed runs with this soon. I also love the touring cars, but the 1/10 scale touring cars need really good level pavement for the top speed passes, these SCT's are quite good at speed passes, we will see. I have only been doing speed runs with foam tires on all my touring cars lately, basically 2-3 runs and the tires are dead.
Very cool bro, good of you to run in that new nitro traxxas for your mate there, look forward to a running video soon if you meet up with him again! 👍😎🍻
thanks man! Yup, I always help out the NitroGang!! It's a win - win for us both. And yes, we will be doing speed runs with this soon, lets see if we can hit 45+ on this.
Very good RC. breaking in takes time went to 5 tanks. it's super fast easy to handle. planning to get few upgrades to this. after breaking in the engine using 20% I used the 30% nitro fuel for regular run time, and it packs a punch.
Question do you have to break in the engine every time your going to use the truck or just fresh out the box? I’m going to get one soon and want to know
Hey man! Thanks for checking out this video. You only need to break in a fully new engine, then you can run normally. You gonna love this thing, its fast, nimble and fun.
What an amazing rc i love my revo but if i had a chance to get one new revo or a new slayer it would be a difficult choice. Either way those revo chassis our great!
hey man!! Yes, I love that Reeve Chassis, totally agree. It's a tough choice between the slayer and the revo, I agree. The upside of the slayer is it's cheaper and it does not have the annoying reverse like the revo. Plus it handles quite good at top speeds. I'll be doing speed runs on it soon. thanks for watching my fellow REVO brother!
hey bro! thanks for watching!! Did you check out a follow-up video with on this and a Revo 3.3? watch that video, you will get to see the top speed I got on this thing! I was quite happy with the results on a stock motor and stock gearing.
thanks man! Yes, I'm hoping to do speed runs with this soon, it's not mine so I'll be calling the owner up real soon, ahaha. Lets see if we can get 45+ with it as claimed. From what I heard it's quite fast, maybe even 50 stock.
Hey bro! I just responded to your other comment btw. I would chose the T-maxx 3.3 if possible. Nothing wrong with the nitro rustler, but you really want to stick with the 3.3 and not the 2.5, trust me. Plus there are tons of cheap parts for the t-maxx and it's got the 2-speed baby!. Plus a monster truck is highly versatile, you know. It can jump, it can run on a regular RC track and it's good at speed runs.
Hey my dude thanks for checking out this video. I highly recommend you get yourself an engine head warmer or a battery powered heater that will let you quickly warm up the motor, I guarantee this will help starting in any weather.
Bought a used tmaxx last week burned up all the servos due to the previous owner hooking up a 7.2 lipo battery to run electrics there where wires that where bare and not sure of a short or to high of charging voltage, the batteries but opti drive and servos burnt out and 2 other ones I replaced I bought a 6 volt nihm battery no problems and its flying now super fast and sounds great tuned and runs excellent the message just stick with the 6 volt battery I had to by new heavy torque servos over $120 for 3 and bypassed opti drive which burned out, lol!
hey my fellow T-maxx Brother!! Yes, totally true, just stick with a nice 6V pack and it's fine. These nitros are not designed to run high voltage 2S lipos. And the 6V hump packs last a long time as it is anyway, you know.
hey man! What's up! For the most part I consider half a tank to be a full heat cycle. I know some people say to run the full tank, but common, at idle that will take forever. All that matters is the 8-10 minutes of heat up and the cool down after, you don't really need a long sustained high temperature, you know. Just do some small throttle blips every minute or so to clear out the exhaust (not more than 25% throttle). On average just do like 10 heat cycles like then, then do another few at 25-50% thorottle while driving smoothly.
Your friend with the Senton needs to program his trigger EPA ..It's very simple to do.. I can see that he's getting lag..The STX2 is laggy but if he programs the trigger EPA it won't be as bad
hey bro! Yes, you're right, he likes that strong punch and wheelie action on the senton. He recently got a new set of tires again, not the ones you told me to get. The ones you recommended were in this video.
hey bro! it's highly possible you're over priming and flooding the motor, this is usually the only reason why your starter would have a problem. I've never had to use a heat gun, trust me. It's better to underprime, than to flood the motor and create too much compression. Also FYI you can run the EZ-Start want with a 2S lipo for a better kick, this is what I do on my own RCs.
I’ll try 2S in it. But anyway In order for me to prime it I have to spin it over first and put finger on exhaust so if it wont spin over how can I have it over primed or flooded. I’ve got ten 3.3 engines and every one I’ve had to heat the head in order for the easy start to spin the engine but once it fires up I never have to do it again
Great vid! Why not follow the Traxxas break-in procedure? You know that’s going to be the first question they ask if the owner ever needs to file a warranty claim. The second question is going to be why you weren’t running Traxxas Top Fuel 😉. Always enjoy your vids, but it is soo frustrating watching someone trying to do something one handed because they’re using the other hand to hold their camera. That was something that really made Botajell vids hard for me to watch. Just kinda thinkin out loud. Keep up the good work buddy 👍
hey bro! Yes, you got a point there on the traxxas warranty, you gotta say TOP FUEL all the way baby!! lol. Anyway, I'm quite sure Traxxas will tell anybody to GTFO when they call in and ask for anything. Plus their engine replacement plan is not even a good deal, 105 bucks for just the block itself and you need to send your old one in. That means you could get a brand new Dynamite 19 for the same price and keep your old motor.
hey man! You got yourself a good point! I normally tape the AA battery holder with electrical tape to avoid that from happening. Considering this RC was not mine and we were only doing a break in and first start I did not tape the batteries in like I normally do. I've talked about and shown it in a few videos previously. Good advice for everybody, thanks for the comment, I hope people read it and make note.
I have 20 percent vp and have run 30 percent spiroco it's running fine with the 30 percent really faster and not lean at all maybe a little rich so so good so far ran it hard no problems dont no temps but the 30% was kicking butt
BTW, I made a follow-up to this video where I speed tested this on 20% nitro . I was honestly surprised it got 46MPH with the stock gearings. Not bad right! My 3-speed savage XL got a top speed of 46 Mph too.
the Nitrogang is happy to hear you say that my guy!! REVO baby! soon you will be yelling 2-speed BABay!! just like I do, haha. Hit me up in the comments if you need help with it to begin with
I gotta say, that is totally true. The temps stay pretty hot for the first quart of fuel I noticed. I was trying my best to run it rich and maintain under 220 degrees. Considering the damn throttle trim is only accessible via the APP, it's quite annoying.
Hey hybrid is the Traxxas slayer pro 4x4 worth buying today? Because I was gonna get the Losi 8ight T rtr but the price of 520 isn’t worth it so I was looking for something around the old price and the slayer cost the same amount before the price went up I would like to know if it’s fun and if it’s handeling is good also does it break a lot
hey bro! Awesome! You're Stimulating the RC economy! The Nitrogang wants to thank you! I have an old school E-MAXX too btw. IDK if you knew this or not, but the original models came with a manually operated 2-speed, it was awesome. Mine still works.
hey my dude! Our of the traxxas nitro line, the slayer is quite awesome. Although the t-maxx 3.3 is also Terrific,, but a little slower than the Slayer. The Jato is the fastest one of them all, obviously.
Good vid nitro gang , I have a couple nitro's as well a revo 3.3 and a traxxas nitro sport that I drop a 2.5r into , also watching here from Michigan and keeping nitro alive here with my friends
hey my dude! greetings from the Nitogang over to you in Michigan! You're now representing the North east-Mid West chapter of the Nitrogang! I also have a couple revo 3.3s.
@@hybrid32494 thats awesome bro I definitely enjoy my nitro's. Lately we been doing the no prep rc drag racing here in Michigan its a blast as well nitro gang , but I'm definitely keep the nitro side of things alive here thats for sure
hey my dude! Thank for watching! Yup, soon I will be doing speed runs with this, I hope to get over 45 MPH, considering it's running the stock clutch bell. My current fastest nitro truck is the HPI Nitro MT2, which hit 48 MPH, and a Savage XL which I got 46 MPH. So we are in the 45+ MPH level right now.
hey bro! I know some traxxas revo platforms are always giving me problems too, and they even perform quite differently too. Anyway, the slayer is was simper too, since it's got no reverse and lack the entire opti drive system. Otherwise its the same chassis.
When I put half a tank do i just leave it running till it's out of fuel or stop before it runs out of in the traxxas way it says to stop before fuel runs out?
hey buddy! It's best to not let it run out of fuel during break in. The reason is the motor will always lean itself out as it runs out of fuel, and this will cause a very LEAN and hot running motor. Best to do around 8 (8 minute heat cycles) at idle and small throttle blips to clear out the system. Then like 4 slow passes at uptown 25 % throttle, then 4 more at 50%, then 4 more at 75%, and you're done.. You're looking for a very steady and even heat up and cool down cycle, that's the logic here.
hey buddy! You should stick to running these motors at 250 or less. Its technically safe to run upto 280 but you never want it to hit over 300. With a good amount of airflow over the cooling head and 20% nitro with about 12% oil you should be getting 230 degrees around. As the motor breaks in it will run a little cooler over time. IF its running hot, then lower your idle speed if you're breaking it in, and richen the motor by turn the high speed needle counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn at a time.
Iam running 2 mufflers or exhaust, one from the stock traxxas and another one connected and mounted into first exaust to quiet it down since running in front of my house so neighbors dont complain it's running like bat out of hell and not as loud full throttle still over 120dbs or so but what can you say its stealthy under 6000rpm or so haha lol!
hey buddy! That savage was run in another coupe of videos on this channel. The purpose of this video was only about the Traxxas SLayer, you could find many savage vids on my channel, I even drove one over myself, NO JOKE!..
hey buddy! Welcome to the NitroGang soon! That's a tough choice, you looking for new? There plenty of choices still left on the market, you can't go wrong with any traxxas nitro, they are all very user friendly and easy to learn on. They have their fair share of haters also, but just accept it for what it is. If you have any questions hit me up, I'll help you narrow it down, it really comes down to the price and style of RC you want.
hybrid32494 thx bro! I am looking to get a second hand nitro. I saw a 1:8 carson buggy with extra tires and some fuel for 180 bucks. Do you think it is a good deal?
hey buddy! I love the Nitro Stampedes, they need to bring them back. I loved the original one with the plastic dual exhaust pipes, that's what I need. you still running the stock exhaust system? Prob not right, because of the 3.3's rear exhaust.
bruh the double As are much more prone to run aways, especially when jumped because if for whatever reason the battery get yanked out of the holder, then you have no control of it. They are also much more expensive in the long run.
hey man! what's up! Thanks for watching. You're 100% right, what I did not say in this video is that I always use some electric tape around the AA battery holder to prevent them batteries from accidentally popping out due to vibrations and crashes. Highly recommended if you're running these styles of RX batteries. If you watch any of my old Nitro Restoration videos, you will hear me talking about it.
Your saying how bones brew is bad fuel. Your using 30% nitro on engines that are not shimmed for 30% Any 30% fuel will hurt engines. I've use bones 30$ in the off road race engines for a while and works great. ( shimmed for 30%) Best fuel I've ever used.
hey bro! Yes, it's pretty interesting, I'm familiar with most of the ways. I use the same method I've done for years, like 8 heat cycles of half a tank each. Cool downs, then like 4 25-50% throttle cycles, and it's fine. These non performance motors are fine with the basic break in methods. OFcourse with the higher compression motors you need more cycles and higher temps.
Definitely my type of guy brother lol the only way to do shit the right way is to do it your way👍.....I broke in my revo 3.3 my way after breaking in my buddies the traxxas way and mine not only runs better but is faster and shifts into 2nd at the perfect rpm.... I run brushless also but there is NOTHING like the smell of nitro in the morning ✌
whats up my dude! yes, for sure, my method has worked for years, absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's easy and common to do. The traxxas method is ok too, but it really doesn't matter. Only the heat cycles and temps matter really. Anyway, NItrogang!! glad to have you here. You gotta check out my newer vids, they will blow you away!.
Hybrid! My Man that's a video I've been waiting for on the Slayer Pro! I have 4 of them and that's how I got into nitro's myself. I love that two speed transmission when it shift it's like a slingshot! I have to get a GPS to see what it's doing for speed?🤔😉🤯
hey buddy! This model including ALL nitro RCs never come with fuel. You always have to buy your own fuel. Thanks for watching, any question, im glad to help!!
hey buddy! I have been running bones brew 30% fuel for the past year, it's moderate, nowhere close to the BYRON. I'll still keep buying it, but thats only due to low cost and availability. Anyway, you gotta realize making nitro rc vids requires showing the fuel I'm running that's why it's in the sun. Clearly I don't keep it outside in the sun for any other reason other than the video.
In any Slayer or Traxxas Slash usually the stock shocks aren't very good even with my Traxxas slash 4x4 1/10 model it's really low to the ground I kind of get worried when I go through puddles
hey bro!! good question!! Let me give you some context here. At the time of this video BYRON fuel released a public statement saying that they are no longer going to be making fuel. So this is why there was a rush to get some of the last fuel from the stores. IT's a damn Nitro Fuel shortage, ahahah.
Hey man Hybrid great content once again. Nitro gang member here is having difficulties with his HPI Savage X, mid tank drop and the engine gets starved and cut out seems like a pressure issue with the flawed design of tank. Is there a way to cure this problem on the HPi savages ?
Check if the tank leaks somewhere. Tighten (slightly) the screw in the fuel tank cap so that the rubber gasket can better seal the sides. Check the pressure tube - even a small hole can cause a large pressure drop. Wash the fuel filter. Inside the filter of one of my clients, I found a kind of "jelly" settled on the mesh and the fuel flowed, but with resistance. Try to flush/blow out the carburettor again. Maybe some dirt has deposited on the carburettor nozzle?
@@FargothPL well i've got an update. I'd applied a fuel tank mod for my Savage, there tanks are known for design flaw when it comes to pressure drops half way down the line. Lets see how it goes with my mod applied
Really nice rc, what sort of money do they command. Great video Dimitri. Have you found any information on my T2M Dirt Devil nitro yet, I’m finding information is very scarce. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
Hey my Nitrogang fact checker! Lol. Yes when i was editing the zero to no slop comment i knew u would call me out. Haha. It was a very on the spot video, and u gotta realize that rc was not mine so i had zero prep and review time with it before the video. It was literally an on the spot video after i googled the specs. I dont think many ppl have such a depth of nitro knowledge to do that. My goal is to fairly review and properly operate any rc.
hey buddy! In general range is not something to worry about with a modern 2.4 GHz radio. The reality is you won't be able to see the car clearly before you run out of range. But on the safe side I would say upto 350 feet is very safe, you should not have issues with range.
Hi! A small tip from one of nitro enthusiasts :) Before engine break-in, preheat the engine. You can use anything - a heater, hot air gun, dryer, even a burner can do the job if you will be careful. The piston and sleeve will expand and firstly - the engine will start more easily, secondly, there should be a little better compression and the parts should last longer before they wear.

It will blow you away, as I'm sure you already know how awesome these are. NitroGang! Btw I commented on another post about you emailing on the RS4 hybrid32494@hotmail.com
A slayer for the rc player 🤘. My lazy ass needs to do some nitro, only been using the electric touring car lately
whats ups my dude! I like that, Unfortunately this Slayer isn't mine, but I will see it again and we will be doing some speed runs. You need some nitro bro, Electrics are easier though for sure. I'm down with any RC, but the NitroGang loves the NITRO!!
That thing looks sick brotha
Have fun and keep burnin nitro 😀
thanks my guy!! Unfortunately this one is not mine, but I will be doing speed runs with it soon. The owner is a cool dude, and let me do a video of the first start. NitroGang!!
I think Hang is the og of the nitro gang
This is so cool to see this rc on your channel. Great video
hey man!! Thanks! This one isn't mine, but the owner is a cool guy and let me do a first start and break in video on this. Soon we will be doing speed runs. I was literally about to buy this thing myself, but then I got cheap, lol. IF these sold for around 400 I'd be getting it ASAP.
i am mostly LOSI, Kyosho and HPI. But after your review, Im gonna score one today. with my stimulus cash. hehe
hey my guy! Right on! This is an awesome SCT truck, and a very good handling chassis at top speeds. I honestly want you to get it so you can confirm for everyone here that this is not POS compared to LOSI and Kyosho. In fact there is no other Nitro SCT like this on the market at this time. Stimulus money RC baby!!!!!
Oohhhlala sexy times! I had a slash 4×4 pro with the upgraded aluminum parts in 2009 and was going to get the slayer but ended up with a tmaxx 3.3 so nice nothing like a new rc!👌👍
The Boss Of The Nitro Gang does it again. Touring cars are my heart but this Traxxas might be one for future. Would love to see you get the chance to do some speed runs?
hey dude! Yes, I will be doing speed runs with this soon. I also love the touring cars, but the 1/10 scale touring cars need really good level pavement for the top speed passes, these SCT's are quite good at speed passes, we will see. I have only been doing speed runs with foam tires on all my touring cars lately, basically 2-3 runs and the tires are dead.
Very cool bro, good of you to run in that new nitro traxxas for your mate there, look forward to a running video soon if you meet up with him again! 👍😎🍻
thanks man! Yup, I always help out the NitroGang!! It's a win - win for us both. And yes, we will be doing speed runs with this soon, lets see if we can hit 45+ on this.
the beautiful model I had was so much fun and fun
Very good RC. breaking in takes time went to 5 tanks. it's super fast easy to handle. planning to get few upgrades to this. after breaking in the engine using 20% I used the 30% nitro fuel for regular run time, and it packs a punch.
Omg Good job
thanks my dude!
How much do they coste I’ve got a king motore 30,5cc but thinking about getting a nitro car
Question do you have to break in the engine every time your going to use the truck or just fresh out the box? I’m going to get one soon and want to know
Hey man! Thanks for checking out this video. You only need to break in a fully new engine, then you can run normally. You gonna love this thing, its fast, nimble and fun.
@@hybrid32494Alright Thank You!
if you put away the 4wd and 2wd factors, what is better, this or the nitro slash 2wd
What an amazing rc i love my revo but if i had a chance to get one new revo or a new slayer it would be a difficult choice. Either way those revo chassis our great!
hey man!! Yes, I love that Reeve Chassis, totally agree. It's a tough choice between the slayer and the revo, I agree. The upside of the slayer is it's cheaper and it does not have the annoying reverse like the revo. Plus it handles quite good at top speeds. I'll be doing speed runs on it soon. thanks for watching my fellow REVO brother!
@@hybrid32494 will do can't wait
I love this truck. Only hop ups I have are are Savox Servo and Black and Decker 2 speed rotary starter.
hey bro! thanks for watching!! Did you check out a follow-up video with on this and a Revo 3.3? watch that video, you will get to see the top speed I got on this thing! I was quite happy with the results on a stock motor and stock gearing.
New is nice good looking car can’t wait to see it rip enjoyed the video 👍👍
thanks man! Yes, I'm hoping to do speed runs with this soon, it's not mine so I'll be calling the owner up real soon, ahaha. Lets see if we can get 45+ with it as claimed. From what I heard it's quite fast, maybe even 50 stock.
Which traxxas nitro should I get?? I’m stuck between tmaxx slayer slash and rustler idk 🤷♂️
Hey bro! I just responded to your other comment btw. I would chose the T-maxx 3.3 if possible. Nothing wrong with the nitro rustler, but you really want to stick with the 3.3 and not the 2.5, trust me. Plus there are tons of cheap parts for the t-maxx and it's got the 2-speed baby!. Plus a monster truck is highly versatile, you know. It can jump, it can run on a regular RC track and it's good at speed runs.
I got my 12 year sitting rustler nitro running, it needed trans fluid for a week then a little ez start crank
hey my dude! Awesome job, you can't kill a nitro! lol. I used to have a rustler 2.5, Nitrogang!!
Really like this truck can't go wrong with the price just add upgraded parts it's a win win situation 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪
My fav part is when you can slowly drive it around tour backyard. Then take it out to the street. And let herr ripp.
Not good doing it when it's cold right.its 44 degrees have to wait.
Hey my dude thanks for checking out this video. I highly recommend you get yourself an engine head warmer or a battery powered heater that will let you quickly warm up the motor, I guarantee this will help starting in any weather.
Hello. Would the ford fiesta 1/10 body fit over this?? I want to convert mine to a rally look
Awesome, new rig unboxing! I wish Traxxas make nitro buggy.
How reliable is this nitro slayer? No differential or transmission issues?
Bought a used tmaxx last week burned up all the servos due to the previous owner hooking up a 7.2 lipo battery to run electrics there where wires that where bare and not sure of a short or to high of charging voltage, the batteries but opti drive and servos burnt out and 2 other ones I replaced I bought a 6 volt nihm battery no problems and its flying now super fast and sounds great tuned and runs excellent the message just stick with the 6 volt battery I had to by new heavy torque servos over $120 for 3 and bypassed opti drive which burned out, lol!
hey my fellow T-maxx Brother!! Yes, totally true, just stick with a nice 6V pack and it's fine. These nitros are not designed to run high voltage 2S lipos. And the 6V hump packs last a long time as it is anyway, you know.
Got a question when u do the heat cycles each cycle do u empty the tank or a half? Do u just let it idle and do some adjustments
hey man! What's up! For the most part I consider half a tank to be a full heat cycle. I know some people say to run the full tank, but common, at idle that will take forever. All that matters is the 8-10 minutes of heat up and the cool down after, you don't really need a long sustained high temperature, you know. Just do some small throttle blips every minute or so to clear out the exhaust (not more than 25% throttle). On average just do like 10 heat cycles like then, then do another few at 25-50% thorottle while driving smoothly.
@@hybrid32494 thanks man I will try out ur method then I guess it's a little more simpler and saw good reviews on this so👍
Pretty cool..SCT nitros have my interest
Your friend with the Senton needs to program his trigger EPA ..It's very simple to do.. I can see that he's getting lag..The STX2 is laggy but if he programs the trigger EPA it won't be as bad
hey bro! Yes, you're right, he likes that strong punch and wheelie action on the senton. He recently got a new set of tires again, not the ones you told me to get. The ones you recommended were in this video.
How did that start so easy. Every new 3.3 I’ve gotten was to tight for electric starter to turn over so always had to do a heat gun till broken in
hey bro! it's highly possible you're over priming and flooding the motor, this is usually the only reason why your starter would have a problem. I've never had to use a heat gun, trust me. It's better to underprime, than to flood the motor and create too much compression. Also FYI you can run the EZ-Start want with a 2S lipo for a better kick, this is what I do on my own RCs.
I’ll try 2S in it. But anyway In order for me to prime it I have to spin it over first and put finger on exhaust so if it wont spin over how can I have it over primed or flooded. I’ve got ten 3.3 engines and every one I’ve had to heat the head in order for the easy start to spin the engine but once it fires up I never have to do it again
Great vid! Why not follow the Traxxas break-in procedure? You know that’s going to be the first question they ask if the owner ever needs to file a warranty claim. The second question is going to be why you weren’t running Traxxas Top Fuel 😉. Always enjoy your vids, but it is soo frustrating watching someone trying to do something one handed because they’re using the other hand to hold their camera. That was something that really made Botajell vids hard for me to watch. Just kinda thinkin out loud. Keep up the good work buddy 👍
hey bro! Yes, you got a point there on the traxxas warranty, you gotta say TOP FUEL all the way baby!! lol. Anyway, I'm quite sure Traxxas will tell anybody to GTFO when they call in and ask for anything. Plus their engine replacement plan is not even a good deal, 105 bucks for just the block itself and you need to send your old one in. That means you could get a brand new Dynamite 19 for the same price and keep your old motor.
Amazing loved it keep It up
it's not called ABC god damn it's called TSM Traxxas stability management, but other than that amazing video.
Dude the number one cause of run aways for nitro is using aa batteries if one pops out you are done for
hey man! You got yourself a good point! I normally tape the AA battery holder with electrical tape to avoid that from happening. Considering this RC was not mine and we were only doing a break in and first start I did not tape the batteries in like I normally do. I've talked about and shown it in a few videos previously. Good advice for everybody, thanks for the comment, I hope people read it and make note.
I have 20 percent vp and have run 30 percent spiroco it's running fine with the 30 percent really faster and not lean at all maybe a little rich so so good so far ran it hard no problems dont no temps but the 30% was kicking butt
BTW, I made a follow-up to this video where I speed tested this on 20% nitro . I was honestly surprised it got 46MPH with the stock gearings. Not bad right! My 3-speed savage XL got a top speed of 46 Mph too.
Waiting on my new revo to come in ,,
Be careful with the temps they run really hot, mine being pretty rich reaches 290 F if i do a 10 second bash
Don’t run traxxas fuel it’s garbage makes your engine run so hot
Cantgetenoughnitro I dont no more im using other brand it’s basically same temps
the Nitrogang is happy to hear you say that my guy!! REVO baby! soon you will be yelling 2-speed BABay!! just like I do, haha. Hit me up in the comments if you need help with it to begin with
I gotta say, that is totally true. The temps stay pretty hot for the first quart of fuel I noticed. I was trying my best to run it rich and maintain under 220 degrees. Considering the damn throttle trim is only accessible via the APP, it's quite annoying.
It's still cold up in Maine having a hard time wanting to break in my slayer pro.
Hey hybrid is the Traxxas slayer pro 4x4 worth buying today? Because I was gonna get the Losi 8ight T rtr but the price of 520 isn’t worth it so I was looking for something around the old price and the slayer cost the same amount before the price went up I would like to know if it’s fun and if it’s handeling is good also does it break a lot
Enjoyed Bro 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I was able to get two used traxxas e-maxx and t-maxx with my stimulus money.
hey bro! Awesome! You're Stimulating the RC economy! The Nitrogang wants to thank you! I have an old school E-MAXX too btw. IDK if you knew this or not, but the original models came with a manually operated 2-speed, it was awesome. Mine still works.
Pending of the purchase of this Slayer.
hey my dude! Our of the traxxas nitro line, the slayer is quite awesome. Although the t-maxx 3.3 is also Terrific,, but a little slower than the Slayer. The Jato is the fastest one of them all, obviously.
@@hybrid32494 I've heard the Slayer tends to roll easily, is that true?
I’m so sad it’s discontinued i loved that stuff
Good vid nitro gang , I have a couple nitro's as well a revo 3.3 and a traxxas nitro sport that I drop a 2.5r into , also watching here from Michigan and keeping nitro alive here with my friends
Also just sent a follow to your insta not too long ago today , stay blessed and keep up the good vids
hey my dude! greetings from the Nitogang over to you in Michigan! You're now representing the North east-Mid West chapter of the Nitrogang! I also have a couple revo 3.3s.
@@hybrid32494 thats awesome bro I definitely enjoy my nitro's. Lately we been doing the no prep rc drag racing here in Michigan its a blast as well nitro gang , but I'm definitely keep the nitro side of things alive here thats for sure
I'm buying one soon
Awesome!
hell yeah bro!! I absolutely love my slayer pro, such a zippy car and hauls ass!
hey my dude! Thank for watching! Yup, soon I will be doing speed runs with this, I hope to get over 45 MPH, considering it's running the stock clutch bell. My current fastest nitro truck is the HPI Nitro MT2, which hit 48 MPH, and a Savage XL which I got 46 MPH. So we are in the 45+ MPH level right now.
@@hybrid32494 the slayer can easily hit 50 with the optional clutch bell. I have it and run 30/9 and get about 50, I tend to run on the lean side.
@@hybrid32494 I also got my slayer through a trade, gave him some vintage rc wheels and it was mine! best trade I ever made man.
Doesn't the nitro lube the motor or is there actual oil?
hey bro! what's up! The nitro fuel these RCs use are a blend of oil and fuel mixed together. These are the same as all 2-stroke motors, you run a mix.
My revo 3.3 has been a maintenance nightmare but my slayer pro has been trouble free and runs like a freakin top.. no idea why.
hey bro! I know some traxxas revo platforms are always giving me problems too, and they even perform quite differently too. Anyway, the slayer is was simper too, since it's got no reverse and lack the entire opti drive system. Otherwise its the same chassis.
hybrid32494 yeah totally the slayer is more simple, but the build quality of my revo just doesn’t seem the same to me. I still love it tho.
I just got this car delivered to me today I'm so excited! Where is this track place you are at?
When I put half a tank do i just leave it running till it's out of fuel or stop before it runs out of in the traxxas way it says to stop before fuel runs out?
hey buddy! It's best to not let it run out of fuel during break in. The reason is the motor will always lean itself out as it runs out of fuel, and this will cause a very LEAN and hot running motor. Best to do around 8 (8 minute heat cycles) at idle and small throttle blips to clear out the system. Then like 4 slow passes at uptown 25 % throttle, then 4 more at 50%, then 4 more at 75%, and you're done.. You're looking for a very steady and even heat up and cool down cycle, that's the logic here.
Was wondering what the driving around temperature are I having a problem with mine
hey buddy! You should stick to running these motors at 250 or less. Its technically safe to run upto 280 but you never want it to hit over 300. With a good amount of airflow over the cooling head and 20% nitro with about 12% oil you should be getting 230 degrees around. As the motor breaks in it will run a little cooler over time. IF its running hot, then lower your idle speed if you're breaking it in, and richen the motor by turn the high speed needle counterclockwise 1/4 of a turn at a time.
Iam running 2 mufflers or exhaust, one from the stock traxxas and another one connected and mounted into first exaust to quiet it down since running in front of my house so neighbors dont complain it's running like bat out of hell and not as loud full throttle still over 120dbs or so but what can you say its stealthy under 6000rpm or so haha lol!
I saw the savage in the background why did you not run it
hey buddy! That savage was run in another coupe of videos on this channel. The purpose of this video was only about the Traxxas SLayer, you could find many savage vids on my channel, I even drove one over myself, NO JOKE!..
Hey what’s the batterie of the RC
You didnt respect the traxxas breaking motor ! And now how it is ? Still running ?
Do you love it?
Looking to get my first nitro car. Anyone recommendations?
hey buddy! Welcome to the NitroGang soon! That's a tough choice, you looking for new? There plenty of choices still left on the market, you can't go wrong with any traxxas nitro, they are all very user friendly and easy to learn on. They have their fair share of haters also, but just accept it for what it is. If you have any questions hit me up, I'll help you narrow it down, it really comes down to the price and style of RC you want.
hybrid32494 thx bro! I am looking to get a second hand nitro. I saw a 1:8 carson buggy with extra tires and some fuel for 180 bucks. Do you think it is a good deal?
I have a nitro stampede with 3.3 engine
hey buddy! I love the Nitro Stampedes, they need to bring them back. I loved the original one with the plastic dual exhaust pipes, that's what I need. you still running the stock exhaust system? Prob not right, because of the 3.3's rear exhaust.
bruh the double As are much more prone to run aways, especially when jumped because if for whatever reason the battery get yanked out of the holder, then you have no control of it. They are also much more expensive in the long run.
hey man! what's up! Thanks for watching. You're 100% right, what I did not say in this video is that I always use some electric tape around the AA battery holder to prevent them batteries from accidentally popping out due to vibrations and crashes. Highly recommended if you're running these styles of RX batteries. If you watch any of my old Nitro Restoration videos, you will hear me talking about it.
Your saying how bones brew is bad fuel. Your using 30% nitro on engines that are not shimmed for 30% Any 30% fuel will hurt engines. I've use bones 30$ in the off road race engines for a while and works great. ( shimmed for 30%) Best fuel I've ever used.
I've found the Adam Drake and RB Mods way to break in an engine work pretty well.
hey bro! Yes, it's pretty interesting, I'm familiar with most of the ways. I use the same method I've done for years, like 8 heat cycles of half a tank each. Cool downs, then like 4 25-50% throttle cycles, and it's fine. These non performance motors are fine with the basic break in methods. OFcourse with the higher compression motors you need more cycles and higher temps.
I did the traxxas method for years. Tried the Drake way with a friends engine & RB Mods way on 2 engines he modified for me. Both have worked great.
🎯
hey man! thanks for watching!. Nitro 4 life! BTW there is a speed run test video on this thing on this channel too.
Definitely my type of guy brother lol the only way to do shit the right way is to do it your way👍.....I broke in my revo 3.3 my way after breaking in my buddies the traxxas way and mine not only runs better but is faster and shifts into 2nd at the perfect rpm.... I run brushless also but there is NOTHING like the smell of nitro in the morning ✌
whats up my dude! yes, for sure, my method has worked for years, absolutely nothing wrong with it, it's easy and common to do. The traxxas method is ok too, but it really doesn't matter. Only the heat cycles and temps matter really. Anyway, NItrogang!! glad to have you here. You gotta check out my newer vids, they will blow you away!.
@@hybrid32494 I'm there brother 👍✌
Hybrid! My Man that's a video I've been waiting for on the Slayer Pro! I have 4 of them and that's how I got into nitro's myself. I love that two speed transmission when it shift it's like a slingshot! I have to get a GPS to see what it's doing for speed?🤔😉🤯
Wait does it come with fuel or you have to order it separately
hey buddy! This model including ALL nitro RCs never come with fuel. You always have to buy your own fuel. Thanks for watching, any question, im glad to help!!
You can get it from the rc car shops. Don't overpay. Only buy 20% it will last a long time
You claim bones brew doesn’t work...yet this is the second video I have watched of yours with the nitro sitting out in the sun...
hey buddy! I have been running bones brew 30% fuel for the past year, it's moderate, nowhere close to the BYRON. I'll still keep buying it, but thats only due to low cost and availability. Anyway, you gotta realize making nitro rc vids requires showing the fuel I'm running that's why it's in the sun. Clearly I don't keep it outside in the sun for any other reason other than the video.
Nitro is hot
hey bro! thanks for watching. NitroGang!!
In any Slayer or Traxxas Slash usually the stock shocks aren't very good even with my Traxxas slash 4x4 1/10 model it's really low to the ground I kind of get worried when I go through puddles
Btw if the double a batteries move out of its place it will cause a run away
Very nice video amiga 😀👍
Is there a fuel shortage? 🤔
hey bro!! good question!! Let me give you some context here. At the time of this video BYRON fuel released a public statement saying that they are no longer going to be making fuel. So this is why there was a rush to get some of the last fuel from the stores. IT's a damn Nitro Fuel shortage, ahahah.
Hey man Hybrid great content once again. Nitro gang member here is having difficulties with his HPI Savage X, mid tank drop and the engine gets starved and cut out seems like a pressure issue with the flawed design of tank. Is there a way to cure this problem on the HPi savages ?
Check if the tank leaks somewhere. Tighten (slightly) the screw in the fuel tank cap so that the rubber gasket can better seal the sides. Check the pressure tube - even a small hole can cause a large pressure drop. Wash the fuel filter. Inside the filter of one of my clients, I found a kind of "jelly" settled on the mesh and the fuel flowed, but with resistance. Try to flush/blow out the carburettor again. Maybe some dirt has deposited on the carburettor nozzle?
@@FargothPL well i've got an update. I'd applied a fuel tank mod for my Savage, there tanks are known for design flaw when it comes to pressure drops half way down the line. Lets see how it goes with my mod applied
Really nice rc, what sort of money do they command. Great video Dimitri. Have you found any information on my T2M Dirt Devil nitro yet, I’m finding information is very scarce. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧
its literally just a little brother of the losi 5ive
What location is this ?
0 to no slop lol (it’s the same thing)
You had music while you were driving the electric ones I couldn’t hear the electric ones Steve’s not happy
Hey my Nitrogang fact checker! Lol. Yes when i was editing the zero to no slop comment i knew u would call me out. Haha. It was a very on the spot video, and u gotta realize that rc was not mine so i had zero prep and review time with it before the video. It was literally an on the spot video after i googled the specs. I dont think many ppl have such a depth of nitro knowledge to do that. My goal is to fairly review and properly operate any rc.
I replaced the 4x AA battireys for. a 800Mah 2s lipo
What's the range on the antenna for these
hey buddy! In general range is not something to worry about with a modern 2.4 GHz radio. The reality is you won't be able to see the car clearly before you run out of range. But on the safe side I would say upto 350 feet is very safe, you should not have issues with range.
