I know. That’s why I only have one lipo (1800 Mah) crawler. Anything else is for fun building. Cause to maintain and store those dammed batteries is a hassle. If you don’t there’s your money down the drain. Lol. My Nitro I have left them alone for weeks and still run like a champ. The day I rebuild my .15 I’ll give you a shout out man. Keep them vid coming brother. 🇨🇱👍
You keep doing what your doing, Bug. The hell with the emotional pansies. I live in California so I know what exactly what you mean. Speak your mind and keep putting out bad ass nitro content. I like wrenching on my nitros while watching your vids man :)
Hell yeah man! Thanks for watchin! And things are a little slow for me at the moment but I got some new stuff on the was including a 3.3 project and more connecting rod nonsense Diesel from Kazakhstan and more oddball fuel and I absolutely agree i don't have time for people and there hypersensitive BS
Me too. I went to a hobby and a guy was asking for nitro cars, the owner tells the customer no man electric is the new way nitro is gone!. I was like, “Hey 🤫 🤐”. Don’t get me wrong I like electric too but for crawling. For bashing I gotta have my nitro. I hate decelerating on an electric seeing and feeling every speed level change on command where as nitro when you let go that throttle you get to see and feel the freewheel turn and spin it around fish tailing. With electric is like driving a robot!! 😂.
I just can't get into the electric I have tried and it's just not my thing it's not exciting enough for me all does go fast and cost $500 battery for the afternoon lol
Let’s not forget the cool factor of a real combustion engine. Still just as awesome 20+ years later. I’m afraid the day will come when we are going to have to start machining our own parts like the pistons and sleeves just to keep them going. I already can’t find parts for most of my engines and plus it’s getting hard to find an engine under a .21 now like a .12 through .18. There’s some but not like it used to be.
Awesome video. Love this channel. Anyone know where I can get a piston/sleeve for an o.s. 18 cvr? Or would something else fit it, like maybe the .21 tm. Just a desperate thought. Thanks folks
Well ..! It was informative, i recently assembled trx 3.3 bearing set, needed to know is it necessary to hot headset and freez bearings, wouldn't it be fit in a manual way.
Hey bug. I've been trying to find the video but with no luck when i thought you said a sh18 carb would fit these engines. I was hoping you could verify that for me. Thank you
Just subbed. Just bought a used 1st generation Tmaxx with a pro .15 it does run great but I still plan on going through the engine to make sure it’ll last as long as I want it to. So will just 5w30 will be good for assembly?
Hey how's it going? Do you know anywhere here in bc that has and will ship rc Fuel? All I can get is " backyard basher with 16% oil. Nobody will ship fuel it's frikken ridiculous. Is backyard basher really that bad? I dunno what to do.
I picked up an old tmaxx you are super knowledgeable so I thought I would ask, is there a place I can ship it to get it running good? It won’t go forward only a little in reverse at full throttle and not all the time. Didn’t know if you had a shop that does repairs or know of one. Thanks
I wouldn't ship anywhere to have someone else work on it that's all you wind up with more issues or getting ripped off by somebody there is a lot of really great Facebook groups that I'm in like Nitro Rc enthusiasts. or Nitro/diesel/gas rc and more Now upon joining these groups there will be questions to answer but you can post a video or pictures in their thousands of people are very knowledgeable in them
I love that cooling head, reminds me of the novarossi .12 engines, sold that one a while ago

@@davidleerussell286 the 1/10 engines are getting a little harder unfortunately i would stock up on SH 18s they are a great runner

I believe they are available on eBay I know stuff is getting hard for them unfortunately I have been running the SH 18 is a close 2nd if you wanted
Awsome video man I had no idea you had a channel
Well now ya do! Thanks for watchin!
Me either I'm into rc obviously but didn't know he did this to ,awesome
Yo bug if I cart find a OS ,10 e carb is there any other recommendations ,awesome tutorial , rebuilding my pro 15 vary soon thanks dude 👌👍🏻
The 10e hasn't been made in about 20 years now. The VX 16 or 18 Carb will fit and work 👌🏻
hey bug where do you get that beautiful cooling head for the pro 15 i have a couple engines here and would like to pick up 1 or 2 let me know thanks
Sometimes you can get old pro 15 dynamite heads on eBay for the tmaxx keep your eye out
Well ..! It was informative, i recently assembled trx 3.3 bearing set, needed to know is it necessary to hot headset and freez bearings, wouldn't it be fit in a manual way.
Glad it helped !
I hardly buy rc engines or other stuff on Ebay because the shipping is skyrocket high.
You are cool.
Thank ya
Hey bug. I've been trying to find the video but with no luck when i thought you said a sh18 carb would fit these engines. I was hoping you could verify that for me. Thank you
Yup the SH 18 carburetor fits the pro 15s all 3 of mine have SH carbs they run and tune so much better
@@thebug4046 thanks bud
i have the TRX PRO .15 and NITRO STAR 12R SS they both run good which one is the better of the two? i need one of them for bashing lol
Both very good all depends on what you want
@@thebug4046 well mainly i wanted to preserve the most valuable one i think the
TRX PRO .15 is cheaper to rebuild

It's like that everywhere just run It's fine I just don't like 16% oil that much It's kinda pointless

Hey bug, what kind of oil can i use when i rebuild an engine and Its going into long term storage?
Just a 5w30 synthetic engine oil or Lucas air tool oil is fine
@@thebug4046 i have some air tool oil mixed with atf, would that be ideal?
What size bearings do I buy if I want to buy them in bulk
For this engine or in general?
@@thebug4046 for this engine and for the 2.5
@@gotnitro4329 eBay fast Eddie bearings trx 2.5 or 3.3 they use the same bearings. Pro 15s are completely different
Is that after run kiln your using
Nope Non chlorinated brake parts cleaner. And a synthetic oil
