  • also I forgot to mention avoid Traxxas fuel all together run a quality 30% nitro and keep your oil 12% or less a 30/9 blend is optimal for longevity and performance as well as a good tuning and temperature

    hey bro! You're 100% right about this motor, it's awesome. I recently broke one of these in on my buddy's T-maxx. It runs cool, starts well and is a direct drop in. It seems the people complaining about it, just dont understand Nitro motor basics, you know. Really no alternative for any traxxas nitro other than this, as a drop-in motor, and not over 150 bucks.

    For those who want to know, I got a few questions answered from Horizon Hobby today. If you want to upgrade the bearings to ceramics or better than stock, the rear bearing size is 10X19X5 mm, and the front bearing is 7X19X6 mm. All should be rubber sealed, with one side of the rubber on the rear removed before installation. Also, the factory needle settings for this carburetor are 3 1/2 turns out on the high speed needle, and 2 turns out on the low speed needle. Mine came at 2 1/2 and 4.5 turns out, respectively. Ignore the manual, they don't even list the .19 motor. I am installing mine this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes. TMaxx classic, I mean 1999 classic :)

    I got a Dynamite .19t and when it had the original carb for the life of me, I could get it tuned properly. The best I could do is get it to more or less idle with the glow plug igniter on the engine and then it would would run briefly the it dies. all kinds of needle settings were tried and none of them would work at all. I ordered a SH .18 slide carb for it recently and this fixed the problems completely. It's now very easy to tune and it runs great! I idled through 2 tanks without any problems. I am not new into the nitro as I have been into nitro rc cars since 1995.

      You shouldn't have any "pinch" left once it's broken in, with the glow plug out. That's the WHOLE ENTIRE POINT of break-in, to wear the piston and sleeve in together, and get RID of the pinch.

    Hey man awesome video. I got this engine for my Rustler. I see that everywhere, even in one of Adam Drakes videos, they say to idle the first 3 or 4 tanks of fuel at a rich setting at around 180F - 210F. Usually people pre heat the engine to help it get up to temp. I noticed you dont really use engine heaters or heat guns so I was wondering if you can share your break in technique and how you get your engines up to operating temperature. Since the engine will idle very rich (running cool) for the first few tanks, how am I supposed to get it up to around 180F? I tried wrapping the head with foil and even some cloth and the engine temp still doesn't get near 180F much less 210F. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance bud and keep up the awesome videos!

      The biggest issue with the 19 now is trying to get the exhaust to seal up. Otherwise it's a good runner. The 3.3 makes more down low vs the 19 makes more up top. When you run a 3.3 do the one gallon tune up os lc4 plug new rod wrist pin and a good set of bearings and they last. Especially with a good quality fuel. I try to buy fuel at 8% oil and bump it to 10 or 11% with additional klotz castor oil and they live forever same with most any engine

    I can not get mine to idle for break in at all. Set all the needles to factory, 2 turns out on both, cranks, idles for a bit dies. Eventually it'll idle then just die and won't start back up unless you constantly prime it and when it turns over you hit the throttle and it'll start coming back (guessing it's flooding???) I've only gotten one tank into the break in. Temps around 230-250 sometimes. Thing is driving me crazy how i can get it to just stay idling.

What would you recommend for initial break in settings? general summer weather where im at in Virginia, moderate to high humidity. Haven't started it yet, and see where folks have struggled to even get the engine to run on the standard settings. any insight is greatly appreciated. Not expecting exact settings from you, just want a good baseline to start with. Thanks!
