hey bro! You're 100% right about this motor, it's awesome. I recently broke one of these in on my buddy's T-maxx. It runs cool, starts well and is a direct drop in. It seems the people complaining about it, just dont understand Nitro motor basics, you know. Really no alternative for any traxxas nitro other than this, as a drop-in motor, and not over 150 bucks.

For those who want to know, I got a few questions answered from Horizon Hobby today. If you want to upgrade the bearings to ceramics or better than stock, the rear bearing size is 10X19X5 mm, and the front bearing is 7X19X6 mm. All should be rubber sealed, with one side of the rubber on the rear removed before installation. Also, the factory needle settings for this carburetor are 3 1/2 turns out on the high speed needle, and 2 turns out on the low speed needle. Mine came at 2 1/2 and 4.5 turns out, respectively. Ignore the manual, they don't even list the .19 motor. I am installing mine this weekend, I'll let you know how it goes. TMaxx classic, I mean 1999 classic :)

great info buddy, im about to order a mach 2 and this really helps!

[@Bigdog302V8]

I got a Dynamite .19t and when it had the original carb for the life of me, I could get it tuned properly. The best I could do is get it to more or less idle with the glow plug igniter on the engine and then it would would run briefly the it dies. all kinds of needle settings were tried and none of them would work at all. I ordered a SH .18 slide carb for it recently and this fixed the problems completely. It's now very easy to tune and it runs great! I idled through 2 tanks without any problems. I am not new into the nitro as I have been into nitro rc cars since 1995.

[@thebug4046]

To keep it as simple as possible the 19 is smaller than the 21. The 19 is a 5 port the 21tm is a 3 port. Both are designed for Traxxas cars and trucks if you are on a budget the 19 if you have extra money the 21tm

Your right about traxxas bought my first nitro a few weeks back ran it at factory settings for break in and in utah I'm high elevation so it was super lean. Which I had zero idea because I saw good smoke trail. tuned after 6 tanks and I now have zero pinch with the glow plug out with glow in I still have compression and it runs but I'm passed 109 to buy new rod and piston set

[@Nitro_rc_life]

Pissed****

[@davelowets]

You shouldn't have any "pinch" left once it's broken in, with the glow plug out. That's the WHOLE ENTIRE POINT of break-in, to wear the piston and sleeve in together, and get RID of the pinch. If you have good compression with the plug IN, you're good to go.

It shouldn't be tight with the plug out you will feel it a little bit but it shouldn't be extremely tight as long as it has good compression and runs good send it!

The question that I really want answered… how does the performance of .19 dynamite engine compare to a Traxxas 3.3 engine that is equipped with the O.S 11K carb. The 11k carb turns the 3.3 into a beast, I think the difference between the 11k carb and the stock Traxxas carb is dramatically noticeable. do you think this engine outperforms the 3.3 with the 11K?

[@thebug4046]

The 3.3 with an 11k carb half decent pipe and 30% fuel will usually out run the 19 especially in something like a revo since the 19 makes less torque then the stock 3.3 but being a 5 port make more RPM.

[@ryanlarbi8157]

@@thebug4046 I see, that’s what I assumed. So it revs higher that’s what you’re saying. So if I put it in my jato I will have a little less torque and acceleration but more top speed? With all factors being the same such as using the same percentage fuel / glow plug type/ gear ratios / and tune. I’ve been really curious to put this engine in my jato. But I’ve been wondering what the upside might be since I was sure the 3.3 makes more torque being a larger displacement. What about the 11K carb.

I haven't had any problems so far

[@evil14life]

Hey man, I just installed this engine in my nitro slash. I see where you mentioned that the carb settings are incorrect. What would you recommend for initial break in settings? general summer weather where im at in Virginia, moderate to high humidity. Haven't started it yet, and see where folks have struggled to even get the engine to run on the standard settings. any insight is greatly appreciated. Not expecting exact settings from you, just want a good baseline to start with. Thanks!

[@thebug4046]

To be honest I have no idea what the carburetor settings are for any engine I basically just tune until it's running correctly and that's pretty much all I can really tell you there is people that have gone through the science of figuring out exactly how many turns you need but that also depends on the fuel and elevation and humidity in your areaTo be honest I have no idea what the car writer settings are for any engine I basically just tune until it's running correctly and that's pretty much all I can really tell you there is people that have gone through the science of figuring out exactly how many turns you need but that also depends on the fuel and elevation and humidity in your area

I have a nitro slash too and I plan on doing this swap soon. What exhaust did you use idk which on will fit

Would you compare the sh 18 carb to a o.s carb? Any good? Ekk so expensive now in days.

[@thebug4046]

The SH carburetors are great just a heads up the SH carburetor will only fit the TRX PRO 15S not the 2.5 or 3.3 if that's what you have in mind

[@purpledonatello]

@@thebug4046 thanks for the input sir. Confusing how you know which carb fits what? I can only eyeball the size of carb by telling how many orings it has from the bottom. Not sure if im reading it wrong. Anyhow, the carb im looking for to replace on a vertex 18 engine to start off. I bought those exceed hsp nitro kits so 2.5 or 3.3 engine will just be overwhelming from what i heard. Keep putting the word out there mr.bug. have a good day.

What are the stock needle settings i got a lemon replacement is amazing though :)

[@thebug4046]

@@kx85isweet Yeah the shimming for the clutch is really easy basically just add a few shims behind the clutch or in front of the clutch until you get the shimming just right so the fly wheel and clutch bell are not rubbing together and it will spin freely if you turn it with your fingers it's just slight adjustment stuff. Aside from that it drops in no problem.
