RE: Engine Break-in Required after Disassembly?
if it was still running it should be fine but if you are uncerntian about it you can always take the engine apart and check it out im pretty sure say 75% sure if you take it apart that you shouldnt have to re break it in . I think the only it requires re broke in is when you change the piston and sleeve , but i could be wrong on that someone can correct me on that if i am wrong .

RE: 3.3 Engine stripped down...what to do?
not sure on what the pinch should be but by the time you buy a new piston and sleeve you can almost get a new 3.3 on the traxxas trade in program and get a new engine you just send in your old one and and i cant remeber how much it costs im thinking a little over 100 but could be wrong so someone correct me if iam

RE: Earthquake 3.5 Upgrades
like i said i had to do some modding to the wing mount ie dremel work :) cut a little here cut a little there on the wing mount and not the shock tower thought i would put that in there but other then that i bolted it to the shock tower . I used the ofna jammin wing mount and ofna high down force wing if that helps you out any.

RE: Earthquake 3.5 Upgrades
im still running the factory stearing servo on my EQ 3.5 but have replaced the throttle servo with a futaba s3003 dont know how well that servo will be for stearing but for throttle its good also you can go under my profile and see a little list of what i have done to my EQ . I like to think outside of the box and see what works or try to mod it to make it work like the spoiler mount i put on it.

RE: I need a new carb for my T MAXX 2.5, any advice would be greatly appreciated!
you can get the factory T maxx 2.5 carb body for pretty cheap if i remeber right 12 to 15 dollars all you have to do is take everything off your old carb and transfer it to the new carb body.

RE: .15 tmaxx wont move and just revs...
yes, a air leak would make it run to lean and cause it to stall out and hard to start , I have a 2.5 t maxx replaced everything on my engine except the piston and sleeve and its still hard to start and overheats in my case its a worn out engine , but im not saying thats the case in yours but yes a air leak can cause problems
