    as a retired mechanic i enjoy my nitros engines and it gives some of us older folks something to work on still. long live nitro.
  • @kanenstuff
    Well I have to say I have never used after run oil on any of my nitro buggy's and even 10yrs later still running like a champ

    Traxxas please listen to us, MAKE A NEW NITRO!!!!!! It would be so cool to see a new nitro product from you guys plus we need it in the rc hobby because all these electrics in the hobby get boring after awhile and dont get me wrong electric is plenty of fun I love my x maxx, but please do consider making a new nitro maybe like a 1/8 buggy or truggy or even a rustler 4x4 nitro!

    About Time we see a Nitro Video Maintenance video. Going to get Traxxas Tmaxx 3.3 and Jato 3.3 which they showed here.

    As an electric vehicle user, this seems like a lot of work to maintain a vehicle. Respect to those who have to do this after playing!
  • Love the nitros keep Nitro alive I will always buy and favorite a nitro over any electric any day, Electric just has no thrill and is completely boring
  • you really only need 3 drops of after run oil in the carb and crank it over for 5 seconds, it works its way up. my O.S .21TM Tmaxx Classic runs good and i only do after run oil when i let it sit for a week or more

    What if I don’t have a easy start on my nitro car?? How would I get the after oil around the car ??
  • @nighthawkj30A4
    I use VP racing fuel and it says on the Steel Gas can. After run oil is not necessary. And i check inside and sure enough the cylinder is clean. I do clean the filter though.
