i bought a new motor for my nitro tc3 its an O.s .18 motor and i tuned it just right so now it hit's about 85MPH, and my left rear tire decided to rip apart at full speed cuasing it to lift in the front so at 60 mph + and the lift the resualts werent to great......atleast it still runs.......so how fast does you're car go? any accidents?

I highly doubt it will go 85. A TRX Nitro-4tec will go 70 with a 3.3.

I agree i doubt it will do 85,i have a jato 3.3 and i would say around 50 to 55.Is your tc3 a 2 speed

my tmaxx was rated at 45+ out the box but i dont know its top speed right now front end is broke and cant get fuel and air mix right

worst wreck was i think may be a jump i made for it went fine then landed and the suspension recoil shop it up and flipped a few times (but i cant really remember ive had it for 8 years)

As far as accidents i have had many with my rcs the worst was my jato was at top speed and the front floats no steering straight in to mailbox post,not very good on the truck many repairs.

My CEN ct5 is rated at the world's fastest RTR Nitro on road car, the factory achieved 73.4mph bone stock.

It's a 2speed, o but it must be close to 70.
It is fast.
But I said that about my 25 mph XXX-S(Most_Wanted):lol: .

Sorry, but I will not believe it until I see a picture with the speed on a micro-GPS system. I'm quite skeptical that the Traxxas 3.3 can go 70+mph and I am also skeptical that your .18 can do 85+. It'd be hella' sweet if it could, though. :lol:

not 85+ the actual speed on the gun was 82.3 but i just rounded it to 85 bc i know for a fact if i tuned it better and did more little things to it it could go 85.....i dont care if you beleive me

Well, next time you do it and have the speed gun around make sure you snap a picture. I'd love to actually see those numbers come up for a Nitro TC3.

What exact engine are you using from O.S?

My Nitro Stampede goes 38.2mph radar gunned. It was running a little rich at the time. I need to lean it out some. Remember, it is only running a TRX Pro.15. IDK what my next engine will be, maybe a Picco. The LHS has a 3.3 but I'm not sure it'll fit without more space. My worst crash so far was when I broke a drive shaft yoke. I only replaced one with an alloy or steel one, I have the other one, but I'll wait until I break the plastic one. I broke it while jumping. No big fix, it was fairly cheap and the guys at the LHS know me very well. Still 33+ or really 38.2mph(on blacktop) is really fast. It flies and I also needed to buy a wheelie bar because it would almost always end up on its roof on wheelies!'

According to the engine replacement plan, Traxxas will send me a free 2.5R incase my .15 blows or if I already had a 2.5R or 2.5.

i dunno... i got a 3.3 Jato and i've spent hours perfecting the tuning on it and it can reach 78... i run TRX 33% nitro fuel...

Yeah, dont waste your money...

And even if you were willing to i dont think you find one under a hundred, i've seen a couple that probably dont even start brand new go for a hundred.

Over all if you want to spend a hundred bucks stick with xmods, cause atleast then you can get something that runs for your money

Well,since I need to get a new pull start string,or a electric starter,it goes about how fast I actually go in my rental car(about 90+ on a high way,who thought a rental car could do so well on a small high way)..Of course it doesntrun at the moment,but why need it to run,when theres another bigger car going even faster,eh.

I've deleted the posts that have nothing to do with the topic. Keep it on topic and lose the ****y grammar fights or this will get locked.

Cheers,
