I have a brand new Nitro slash 2WD with a 3.3 ready to go, it's set up to start from the transmitter, haven't used yet because of weather but its ready for spring....great nitro action👍👍
Yea once you get a handful of glow plugs a few gallons of fuel a good lipo for servos and a good glow heater your all set for a nitro rig I had three Traxxas Revo platinums for my first RCS wish I had them still they are worth a bunch!
I bought my T-Maxx back when electrics took too long to charge and ran for about 15 minutes. It made sense back then. Today though, you can get over an hour run time with short charge times. Still can't replace the smell and sound of nitro. Yeah the electrics are fast and run longer, but they just don't give you the same experience. I have a first gen nitro stampede converted to a 2.5R engine. That thing is too wild to control. So much more fun than electric models.
Nice run, I'm running a2.5 motor in my Tmaxx now my 3.3 motor came in today I wanna drop it in but 2.5 running sweet it pulls wheelies at the go😊.. Awesome video Earl
thanks earl !!! now ive cought the nitro fever again lol , yeah its a whole lot faster getting out to the spot to run with nitro , i have several nitros and soon as i hit send im digging one out lol great vid as always !!!!!!
Traxxas 3.3 and 2.5 motors are known for not needing to be tuned frequently. If I ever own a nitro, it'll be a T-Maxx classic or a Revo 3.3 because I'm a sucker for cantilever suspension.
I've had the X Maxx for a few years and love it, but I recently bought a Slayer Pro 4x4 nitro and man It's fun. I charge the LIPO's then fire up the nitro, then after I break something or run a tank or two, I switch to the X Maxx.
Hey Earl! Nice Rip with the TMaxx in the park with a little rain and cool weather keeps all the people away!🤣😂🤣 I like the Slayer-Pro 4x4 platform bro short course look for ripping in late Summer and Fall up in MN! I've been running the metal slipper blocks in mine and lower pitch gears for pinion and spur gears. Liking the content and videos 😉👍📹✔️💯👋👋👋👋
I have a T-Maxxx 2.5 and that thing is a blast! Funny thing was while watching the video I kept on thinking "man that looks like 'x' location" sure enough I used to live in that city lmao.
I'mI like the durability of the 2.5r could run it wide open on 5 acres all day no issues get at least 5 gallons that 3.3 you'll break a connecting rod quick doing that a lot of power
Electric is way easier than nitro that’s why more people are going to electric because they don’t understand the mechanics of a nitro , learning to tune a nitro properly takes a few years in the hobbie to actually know what you are doing, you need to understand the clutch what set up works best on what terrain know how to recognise if your engine is to rich to lean before you do damage, I run both I don’t need to worry about all that with electric it’s to easy with electric
Fallowing the instructions on tuning is easy and worst is to have a hobby shop tune it and you just rip it batteries are really not easy to maintain as most don’t learn it safely easier to learn to tune then charge for an hour then balance charge after you run easiest is to run a nitro out of fuel done ✅
@@30nitrorc26 yes I agree I for years stayed away from nitro as many made it seem to hard to deal with 🤷🏻♂️hard starts pulling the strings that break but traxxas really made it easy for me as a kid I struggled with nitro but now fuel and go tunes off it still goes 👍
@@earlmoorhead5555 fixes your camber problems up , I also run rpm bulk heads and front arms , traxxas stock bulk heads are made of glass , first real bad crash you have they will fail .
I envy you guys in those warmer climates , talking about cold ha ha it has been -30 to -50c where I live most the winter ha ha , I’ll take your kinda cold all day long shorts and t shirt weather ha ha .
Now I can understand the benefits of gas or nitro RC. But I’m surprised Cali hasn’t tried to ban those types of RC. Being that Cali so strict with pollution and noise. Here in Boston they already trying make everything Ecco friendly. Your so lucky you have In-N-Out every time come back to visit family in SoCal, that’s the first place I go to and get me two double double animal style! Haha 😂
EARL….I agree I always have a nitro in my trunk,,,I have the fear of leaving a fully charged battery in my car all day..WHICH could be disastrous if one goes bad…..here in N.C ,one or 2 days of 80 then goes back down to the low 50’s for a while,,,crazy weather all over the country,,yup we have in and out burgers here,,,my go to…🇺🇸👈🚘
Lol hella funny is this sarcasm cause im going back to nitro soon from a udr after a decade of no rc and thought about how i didnt miss those body clips😆😂 did hear they bulked em up over the years stabbing you more
Yeah Earl that cold is moving across the country now. Should be hitting us east cost folks in a day or two. Can you believe down south was in the 80's, WTH!
Yeah you got a point but so does electric electric is faster and easier and in today's RC it lasts a lot longer with the battery time I did buy a T-Maxx before Nitro is cool and it does have a nice experience but if I'm going to do gas I'm going to go 1/5 scale makes more sense at least to me then you can fill up all day and not have to go to the Hobby store or special order gas by the way that's more expensive now a days
@@earlmoorhead5555 I have a LST2 15 years with it and still going, but the steering is not that great ! Need to upgrade! After 15 years it’s about that time for servo up grade!
Once you understand nitro you will love your Traxxas tmaxx3.3 I shure really like mine would you want to sale your tmaxx3.3 they are a very mean nitro monster truck!!!!!
I coming from nitro to electric nitro life is a lot of money and break and fix i can tell you right now electric is more fun and cheaper 🤣🤣🤣 and ways faster 🤣🤣
nitro is no way easier than electric you have to deal with climate and be able to tune accordinly. nitro is cool but your making it look easy cause you know whats up and its a straight up mess, that fuel gets all over everthing
In my opinion only thing better about nitro is the sound but sound is a big cool factor, I pretty much stopped watching F1 because the V6 cars sounds like vacuum cleaners lol but you definitely won’t get a nitro 1/10 too go over a 100 mph like an arrma 3s
That is a sweet truck. I just wish we had more nitro models being released, new platforms. Electric will never be as fun as these things
Hpi re released the gt3 savage x 4.6 then made the gt6 x 4.6 and now the savage gt6xl 5.9. I have both gt6 x and xl love them both
1/8 -1/4 turn too lean on high speed. Sounds like an almost perfect tune.
*Great Video*
Thanks 👍
I love my three tmaxx’s & Losi LST & LST 2.
Love electric too, but that nitro smell and sound is awesome!
Yes 👍
Gotta love the Tmaxx can’t kill them, still have my 2003 era 2.5 👍
I am not much of a Nitro guy but you make one hell of a point. Great rip, very fun to watch!
I have a brand new Nitro slash 2WD with a 3.3 ready to go, it's set up to start from the transmitter, haven't used yet because of weather but its ready for spring....great nitro action👍👍

nice rip n cruise! what a blessed day!!! thanks for taking us along Earl :D
Glad you enjoyed it
I have a power station so I can charge on the go. Usually ready before I am. 🍻
Nitro is fun,you can keep running the same truck intill you run out of fuel. Love the sound of nitro rc's. 👍
Yes no dead batteries to deal with just run 👍✅
@@joeschmo6834 I've never had a run a way with nitro rc's, you have to keep the batteries charged not that hard to figure out.
Takes double A batteries so nothing to charge just the same batteries as the radio 💯

Don't have to wait unless your nimh battery for your receiver goes dead lol, had that happen with my MGT
Double AAA batteries no charger needed for the receiver or servos 👌
@@earlmoorhead5555 oh it has the little pack that plugs in with the 2 wire plug
Yes 👍
Any body clips suck when your fingers are cold!! 😉🤙😄
True
Nice run, I'm running a2.5 motor in my Tmaxx now my 3.3 motor came in today I wanna drop it in but 2.5 running sweet it pulls wheelies at the go😊.. Awesome video Earl
Good to see the nitro rip... Love the look of the Traxxas. .
Have a 2.5 coming saturday can't wait.I have Hsp 94106 buggy it mad fast lots of fun.Stay Safe Stay Healthy✌
Nice good clean fun! Always good to hear from you how your RC day is going my friend 👍
Thanks 👍
That truck is a great runner 🤙🤙🤙 Great video. In&Out Burger is tha Bomb
I use the DuraTrax 1/8 scale body clips. They're bent at the ends. Makes it much easier
Yes they are good 👍
thanks earl !!! now ive cought the nitro fever again lol , yeah its a whole lot faster getting out to the spot to run with nitro , i have several nitros and soon as i hit send im digging one out lol great vid as always !!!!!!
Right on!
Traxxas 3.3 and 2.5 motors are known for not needing to be tuned frequently.
If I ever own a nitro, it'll be a T-Maxx classic or a Revo 3.3 because I'm a sucker for cantilever suspension.
Love my nitros also!...great content as always!
Great video, had some nice runs with the nitro buggies today too, so much fun! #1 with grilled onions and a diet coke is my goto too!
Right perfect combo 👍
I miss my nitro Stampede! Great size to carry on my lap while driving my wheelchair to the spot I ripped it at! Wish Traxxas re released it.
I've had the X Maxx for a few years and love it, but I recently bought a Slayer Pro 4x4 nitro and man It's fun. I charge the LIPO's then fire up the nitro, then after I break something or run a tank or two, I switch to the X Maxx.

Honestly it does seem interdating but after a few you tube videos and you can learn alot about Nitro. Traxxas instructions alone are very well done
I own 5 traxxas rcs 1 nitro and 4 electrics ,working on getting the t maxx running.
Rpm makes a true track arm and hub kit for the rear
Nice

Fun quick video man now i want a fast burger lol...
Nice 💪
I am glad have Tmaxx.
Great ripping with the 3.3👍
Thanks
I love the Nitro, prefer it in fact.
Love your videos Earl 💯🌨☔🌟🙏 thank you be in cool Earl nice video 📹
Thanks 🙏
Closet we have in oklahoma is Five Guys and its almost twenty dollars for a single combo lol.
Definitely gonna try nitro, been looking at the 3.3 Tmaxx for a couple weeks
Did you ever get one? I have 40-50 RC cars and the nitros are way more fun
Traxxas Tmax ilove Nitro one of cool 😎 rc bas has running cool Earl nice job 👍👌👏
Thanks
Tmaxx is 🤴 king!!!!!!
Uh, the receiver battery can be dead. . .but i guess if youre using AA's its easy to remedy that
Yes
I haven't played with nitro in years. Haha good times
Nice quick lick!..👍😎
Thanks! 👍
Just got my 3.3 tmaxx yesterday it says it a 10th scale but i think it's a 1/8th scale by it being an extended chassis.😊
Yes monster truck are bigger in scale as in real life they seem to be that way as well 👍
nice park lots of different surfaces to run on
Great video but nitro is just not for me, there are to many people around that love to complain about the noise. They just love moaning🙄
Depending on where you run I’ve been lucky but I stay away from ppl 👍

California the same it’s hard to run them not many places allow them
nitro uses batteries too for the servos
Double A’s so no charging required 💯

Oh and don't forget the wonderful aroma of nitro methane
Amazing ❤❤❤ (reverse gears??)
Electric body clips are way better than nitro body clips
Boom 🎉

Right the weather switch sides for this month I need warm weather soon 🥶🤣
Ngl tho nitro is way more fun than electric in my opinion.
Definitely fun
electric can be totally hard for some people :( i get it, upvoted!!!
Great video keep it up. I agree as well, just got our first nitro the Revo 3.3 and love it. Check out the channel

I had a T Maxx in 1999 when it first came out, it was great fun, then got the E Maxx when it came out in 2000
😎💯💯💯
Go put some .28 or .21 novarossi engine and you gone see good power
"Extremely cold day"? in cali what 50*?
it a pain to run nitro in the winter in PA
34 degrees
ill eat my words...that is cold
What steering servos are you using?
It’s all stock
