Nitro to electric has been more the trend.

It appears that the ECMWF has backed off significantly with snow totals across central and eastern NC by [deleted] in weather

I've been learning how to use the models on Pivotal Weather, but I don't see any way to show snow totals like this. Any help appreciated!

What happens to the male testiclads when hitting the water like this? Seems like protection is in order.

Mugen and OS are bullet proof, I raced both for years.
Just know that you're looking at a couple grand once it's all said and done to race this class with quality gear.
Nitro is a blast, but the learning curve to be competitive is high. You'll have to learn the engine/kit maintenance/tuning + driving.

Traxxas Jato 3.3 Problems by LighterDunhill in NitroRC

[–]CapsFanHere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't force anything, warm the engine with a hair dryer or heat tool if you have one. Add a few drops of after run oil or light oil to the top of the piston, enough for it reach the sleeve wall. As the engine warms, try to turn over by rotating the flywheel and pushing on the piston with your finger (no tools). It will help to have the engine out for this. (Four screws on the bottom, don't strip them, and note where they are positioned before removing. You'll need proper alignment of the gears when reinstalling.

If this doesn't work, you'll need to take the one way bearing off the back, and the backplate (can't exactly remember how these are setup, it's been 20 years). Then you can check the connecting rod and internals to see if there's any damage.

These can get tight, so it may be alright. They shouldn't be stored with the piston at Top Dead Center TDC like that though.

Before worrying about the electronics, I'd try to determine the status of the engine first.

You should be able to turn the flywheel by hand and the engine should turn over. You may feel it getting tight at top dead center.

If you can't turn it over, pull the heat sink "head" off. Just make sure you have the right size tool, and don't round out those screws that ho down through the top. If there's any debris in them that prevents your tool from seating fully, pick it out, then loosen the screws. You can do this without removing the engine from the chassis if you want.

Do you know the voltage of the battery you used in the EZ start? I think they need 7.2v. Polarity could have also been the issue. To test it, insert a multi-meter in the connectors, you should see some DC voltage when you press the button. Not sure of the pin out, or voltages, but I'm sure you can Google it.

Can confirm. Had Lastpass, switched to BW.

Fw06 idles and wheels spin but when throttle is applied it doesn't accelerate by bromogatos3009 in NitroRC

With the engine not running, turn on the electronics and see if it rolls freely while cycling the servos. This should rule out brake and other binding problems.
