Use more oil and paper towels 😂 I've been messing around with nitro for about ten years and still learning from you thx for all the informational videos you put out there never gets old love em rich and loud !!
Hey brother thanks for watching thanks for the kind words man I really appreciate it glad you're finding some humor and knowledge in my stupid channel hahaha
I have a 3.3 crank and some BOCA ceramic bearings coming. Now I just need to get another OS carb and I think one of my 2.5s will be a decently hot little motor.
i appreciate your videos man ! you help me feel more confident in changin my 3.3 bearings. Sadly the rear bearing went again after a quart and a half. Decided to go with the os .21 tm!
Go on Acer bearings website and order a set for a 2.5 or 3.3 it doesn't matter they both use the same bearings. Then just put a 3.3 crank in it. No mods or special parts required. 👊🏻🍻💯
Bro, I really do like your videos. Its soothing. One day I want to take apart my 2.5R and get a 3.3 as well. I ended up wondering why my traxxas wont shift, the shift screw is missing. is it worth tearing it all apart... or should I just put a new screw in and send it? haha
Hey thanks very much for the kind words I appreciate it and if you can buy just a screw then absolutely replace it it's probably floating around in the bottom of your transmission somewhere they're not really hard to take apart you can only put them together one way but if you feel the need you could always go with a brand new transmission if you felt like it up to you completely and engineering builds are really simple I have lots of other videos explaining it kind of better than this one. that are full rebuild videos
You remind me of John candy. Or the AAMCO guy from Curb your enthusiasm (Mike Hagerty). Now for serious stuff…do you monitor engine temps at all? Wondering what device you use if any.
Haha that's awesome! And running temperature? Occasionally when doing break in to be sure I'm up over 200°f and after that rarely ever. Mostly out of curiosity.
Hello Bug, I would of like to message you, but I cannot on this platform, I did a bone head move, I have cut many crankshafts for my RC10's... I had a new Megatech 16 in the box I bought around 2002?... I just cut the shaft to fit in one of my RC10's, and I did not use the spacer that came with the block, so my clutch bell and spur gear are not lining up wright. I found one online new in the package pre cut, and its the same size of the one I cut! WTF! I would like to send pictures but there is no option to....
Oh that was hilarious about the part with the phone call kind of makes me glad I don’t have an active phone number anymore right now and as you were saying it’s as bad as those scammers in India that’s all they do for a job is call people and hack them and computer hack
Dude it drives me freaking crazy you have no idea it's so stupid! They believe the OPP Ontario police are going to get me! They are like 4000 miles away! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just water won't do anything just use brake parts cleaner it's way easier and it actually removes grease and oil. You could flush the engine with that too just make sure to oil all moving parts Just follow one of my other rebuild videos I have several of them
The silver colored cylinder head is dycast the blue one is CNC machined but the squish bound area and combustion chamber volume are both the same. As is the piston and sleeve and everything else in both engines are identical even the part numbers are all the same other than the cylinder heads when they try to tell you that the 2.5R has different port timing it doesn't. Same timing numbers
You might need to cut back on the coffee a liiiiitle bit there bug lol Another awesome video! Do you think those old cranks are salvagable? Can that surface rust be cleaned up so they can be reused?
It was one of those days we're kind of I shouldn't have really been filming but I decided to anyways just being anxious and wanting to get things done. And yeah you can clean the old cranks up if you want. All you really need is just a brass brush in some WD40 and then clean everything up really well
Use more oil and paper towels 😂

I have a 3.3 crank and some BOCA ceramic bearings coming. Now I just need to get another OS carb and I think one of my 2.5s will be a decently hot little motor.
If you have seen my 2.5R run it pulls hard!!!
i appreciate your videos man ! you help me feel more confident in changin my 3.3 bearings. Sadly the rear bearing went again after a quart and a half. Decided to go with the os .21 tm!
No worries! What bearings did you buy?
That helped me out. Thank you
No worries!
Awesome vid Bug!
Thanks man! Gunna try to go for a run this weekend i hope! 😎🍻
@@thebug4046 Awesome man, make sure make a running video.
@@barracuda253 of course!
I stop it whith the exhaust but what I do is run the lines dry after I’m done to empty the fuel
Good video. Doing this to my 2.5. What are the bearing part numbers for the 3.3 crank in the 2.5 block?

Ceramic bearing? Bocca or acer?
Bro, I really do like your videos.

Great video…just order my GX-21 bearings! So the inside bearing I take off the seal?
Nice and yes both seals of the rear bearing only one seal in the front bearing 😉 use a heat gun
@@thebug4046 ok thank you!
@@malo_213 no worries
Where do i get the bearings from?

Is it ok if I clean the engine block with just water and if so how do you stop it from rusting on the inside?
Just water won't do anything just use brake parts cleaner it's way easier and it actually removes grease and oil. You could flush the engine with that too just make sure to oil all moving parts Just follow one of my other rebuild videos I have several of them
Bug
Is there any difference in the 2.5 and 2.5r heads except the color?
The silver colored cylinder head is dycast the blue one is CNC machined but the squish bound area and combustion chamber volume are both the same. As is the piston and sleeve and everything else in both engines are identical even the part numbers are all the same other than the cylinder heads when they try to tell you that the 2.5R has different port timing it doesn't. Same timing numbers
Any advice on getting the big crank bearing out. I've been heating and banging the shit out of it not moving
Heat to 260°f and bang it harder
You might need to cut back on the coffee a liiiiitle bit there bug lol
Another awesome video!
Do you think those old cranks are salvagable? Can that surface rust be cleaned up so they can be reused?

@@thebug4046 cool, i got a couple of 3.3s that I got cheap and the cranks look a little similar. I'll try to clean them up. Thanks man.
did anyone really say run it under cold water? lmao no.
People have said that a handful of times you would be surprised
