T-maxx 3.3 ((new)) Page

Failure to tune results in lean runs (overheating > 280°F, piston seizure) or rich runs (smoky, sluggish, fouled plugs).

New engines must be heat-cycled across 4-5 tanks of fuel under rich (oil-heavy) tuning. Failure to break in properly reduces compression and engine life from ~5 gallons to <2 gallons. t-maxx 3.3
