I bought it used so I am not sure. I know I ran about 2 gallons thru it.

I took the engine apart and the bearings and crank were shot. I went and bought a new replacement 3.3.

My Jato 3.3 has been making a rattling noise. I thought it was my clutch but when I removed the clutch and started the engine the noise was still there. When I put pressure on the drive shaft with...

The dual brake upgrade is a big improvement if you like to do high speed runs.

I am running a consistent 45mph with 20/70 gearing and 33% nitro fuel with my stock Rustler.
This is at 5300' elevation in Colorado. I would expect a higher speeds at lower elevation.

I have been looking for something to measure the speed of my Rustler and wanted to know if anyone has tried the Mini GPS Data Logger or similar devices.
If so how do you like it, any problems with...

I would like to switch from 20% to 33% nitro fuel in my 2.5 Rustler and wanted to know if there are any risks to my engine.
I will re tune for the new fuel.
