    I had a hard time adjusting the carb right when I first got the hellfire but once I hit the sweet spot it fires up every time now. Great truck. Your ss is in great condition bro take care of her. I’ll send some pics of my hellfire over to Ben and he can show you what it looks like 🤙

      thanks man! A couple things left on this Hellfire to correct and it will be a 100% runner. Currently the throttle servo needs to be replaced, it's just too weak to apply the breaks as is right now.

      @hybrid32494  9 месяцев назад +1

      hey my dude! You and I both! lol. But I will confirm that it's much easier to fire up with a warmed up engine as shown here. Ofcourse the basic RTR engines don't necessarily need the pre-heating but the more high end high compression engines definitely will.

  • @Nitro91
    @Nitro91 9 месяцев назад +1

    @hybrid32494 I have a quick question. I have a traxxas slayer with a blown motor are there any great replacement options for under 200 or should i just buy another 3.3 ??? I have heard the mach 2 is a direct bolt on and a decent option ? Thank you for your time.

    • @hybrid32494
      @hybrid32494  9 месяцев назад

      hey buddy! I would defiantly recommend you pick up the Dynamite 19 because it's a 100% direct install of the slayer. Unless you do that Traxxas trade in program and send your blown 3.3 to them and pay about 120 total, there is really no choice. Here is a direct link for you, they are in stock here now - alnk.to/flvx5Bd

      hey buddy! These engine heaters are generally adjustable to fit the cooling heat and fit snuggly over the top. I would not worry about engine size, they are universal really. Here is a link to a good one for you, in addition to the one in the video description - bit.ly/3uA8E0B

    But don’t they say that the fuel can basically turn to jello in temperatures under freezing?

    • @hybrid32494
      @hybrid32494  9 месяцев назад

      hey bro! I've never experienced JELLING of the fuel in my life. The main ingredient in the RC fuel is Methanol (an alcohol). If you try to freeze alcohol (for example VODKA) you will notice it does not freeze. For this same reason working about nitro fuel JELLING is not a concern. Good question bro.
