Traxxas Tmaxx 3.3 Why I Feel Nitro Is Easier Then Electric RC’S ? Should you try a nitro?

[@SOMNIOHM]

1/8 -1/4 turn too lean on high speed. Sounds like an almost perfect tune. *Great Video*

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 👍

[@kyronrc]

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

[@jacobhamilton6632]

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

I am not much of a Nitro guy but you make one hell of a point. Great rip, very fun to watch!

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

Gotta love the Tmaxx can’t kill them, still have my 2003 era 2.5 👍

Yes 👍

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 good clean fun! Always good to hear from you how your RC day is going my friend 👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks 👍

[@timothybrown1189]

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.

[@Bluecuban71]

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.

[@30nitrorc26]

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

[@earlmoorhead5555]

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]

@@earlmoorhead5555 I don’t agree with that Earl , but every one has there opinions, that’s ok

[@FalconWing1813]

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

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
