Jetlag2222 REVO 5309 Nitro - Welcome to the Jungle!

[rustleramtrak123]

how do you turn of a nitro car

[6969mayhem]

I dont know if you mentioned this but leave the body off when breaking one in!

[cj263500]

i have a tmaxx 2.5r its in the shop,and iv been wondering should iget tmaxx or revo

[CockyHockey97]

ive heard its not good to break in a truck on grass is that true

[RAMBOPUNlSHER]

yea its true

[CockyHockey97]

@RAMBOPUNlSHER oh ok

[1RCMASTER1]

dose it do wheelie ?

[miaminick305]

So for each tank you just let it stay there for 20 minutes ? Please reply

[tanman1220]

i loove ur vids dude but i just got a revo i i broke it in propperly

then i had a hil climb compitition and my enjine kept stalling idk what wrong?

[hamoon007]

my revo tank leaks from the cap what should i do

[MrEvolutionist]

@hamoon007 get a new seal or tank

[JOEYJORDISONSMAGOT]

do you have to prime it??

[MySSMM]

I think it's funny how you say follow the directions for break in.....And they say NOT to idle break in a 3.3.......you didn't follow them at all......body ON after the first tank....NOT suppose to idle it...DRIVE it........YOU shouldn't be telling people how to break in there new 3.3 when YOU don't even do it the right way.........

[fearlessforever9]

how long will this engine last if it is properly maintained

[MXRac3r545]

@fearlessforever9 arnd 4 gals aftr get an os or picco

[sawmem]

im 12, would this be a good first nitro for me considering that all i have is a mini revo vxl?

[cooldude7c]

What is your favorite car/truck

[Herihjaltmohr]

haha xD The camera got a boner at 5:57 xD

yea the Revo is a sexy ass xD

lol

[XxOLLIE725xX]

what do you think is better for backyard bashing. the jato 3.3 or revo 3.3?

[bjornke123456789]

no bigger jumps ?

hey man what is the best beginner truck the t-maxx or the e-revo

[jdubdoubleu]

I heard Traxxas Top Fuel is not good to use cause it has too much oil in it and it burns up the egine. Is this true?

[jetlag2222]

That is just wrong.... for 2 reasons... #1 I have been using top fuel for years and it is a great fuel. #2 There is a technical problem with what you said too.... More oil, means better lubrication. So too much oil would just cause the engine to run rough or stall.  Too little oil is what causes overheating and engine damage. So wherever you heard that it's just not correct.

[jdubdoubleu]

@jetlag2222 One of the guys that work at HobbyTown told me. I just got my first Nitro car (Jato 3.3) so I don't know much about it yet. But thanks for the info.

[1213baba]

IS IT BATER THEN THE T-MAXX 3.3 ?

[jmloudon97]

what makes this sit higher then an e revo

[oselio12]

aff q pena que aki no tem queria um para eu traser essa cultura aki para caninde

[Chrigi0765]

you have a beautiful house and a lot of rc-models, are you rich?^^

[43Wyattlong]

i hade the1/ 16 scale e revo i hated it. but the revo 3.3 is beast. great video

[TheFordf650]

i have a stupid question what nitro do you use like % of nitro because im looking to get one

[jccb487]

you cant drive it on grass my hobbie shop guy says but i think diffrent is that true plz respond he says the clutch heats up to much

[dvonlangen]

the only thing i personally would have done different in the break-in is I would have done it on a paved road so that the engine has the least stess it can to stay super cool. great vid

[stevester189]

Im thinking bout getting the revo 3.3.. but its most like the summit and the summit cant drift, and im wondering can the revo 3.3 drift, becuase it has basacally all the same features as the summit?

[A4Eaton]

Hey man amazing video! Im thinking about getting this for my first nitro. Would it be a good nitro for my first?

[jetlag2222]

Yes it's a great 1st nitro model. Very easy to break-in and tune.  Just watch the included video and follow all the instructions as closely as you can during break-in, and you will have a world class nitro monster truck!

[bakabaka7089]

@jetlag2222 im a first time buyer and ive never broken in a nitro engine, so i was wondering, how much nitro should i get? 

[jccb487]

@jetlag2222 what is the best fuel for the trx 3.3 traxxas fuel or other brands i use sidewinder is that any

good plz respond!

[traxxas19955]

@jetlag2222 hey,i seen most of ure videos and i specifically made a youtube account to ask you a question,i have a the same revo like urs i had it for christmas. followed all the pricautions etc, and around the 7th tank it stalled,so i plugged in the ez-start and nothing happend so i stripped it down and the connecting rod snapped at the top. and smashed against the piston so i baught all new parts and i broke it in and the same thing happend around the 7th tank thanks (its not running lean)

[traxxas19955]

@traxxas19955 forgot to say do you now whats wrong lol

[traxxasmaniac123]

whats the name of the first song at the begginning??? love the drus! please respond so i can get it on itunes!!!!! lol

[parak777]

does have reverse mode? thanks

[jetlag2222]

Yes it has reverse. It is 2-speed forward and 2-speed reverse with the flip of a button.

[parak777]

@jetlag2222 thanks man. hope that i will have my own thanks again

[101quadrider]

is it waterproof?

[jetlag2222]

It uses all waterproof servos and the radio box is weather sealed, but of course no nitro is ever truly waterproof because it needs air in the carb to keep it running. And water in the carb doesn't work very well. lol.

[traxxasmaniac123]

@jetlag2222 whats the name of the very first song???

[jetlag2222]

sorry just saw this... the very first song was by Pantera. It's called "good friends and a bottle of pills". And trust me, you will NEVER hear it on the radio because the lyrics couldn't possibly be cleaned up. Very very explicit. lol.

[traxxasmaniac123]

@jetlag2222 yeh i get what you mean.... lol i still liked it though! (:

[alexeimendoza]

hey i am going to buy a new nitro truck but i dont know wich 1 to pic the mgt 8.0 or the traxxas tmaxx 3.3 ? 

[Lasith85]

Hello! I'm going to buy the REVO 3.3-5309 in September. I wanted to ask, the first tank I have to leave for 20 minutes in position stop REVO??

[2222222278]

will you make another #5309 vidio

[gateway123456778900]

revo and the 4 tec are the only thing like from traxxas and of course there top fuel best fuel around awesome truck.

[fourwheeler223]

is the new revo bigger than the older revo ?

[jetlag2222]

Yes. Traxxas says 10%.  I haven't measured it myself, but it is bigger with a wider stance.

[hnx18]

would you see it

[hnx18]

would you sell it

[jetlag2222]

no. :)

Buy your own.

[lajollajeff]

What program do you use for editing you videos they are really well done

[jetlag2222]

Thanks. I use Sony Vegas Pro 9. :)

[43shadows]

i havent charged my t maxx ez start for 6 months i drive it almost daily

[monsterGAUZ]

hey jetlag,

i'm not a beginner at RC driving and i have 6 years experience with strong 1:10 scale brushless cars. so i think i can handle the power of the REVO sovereign.

but i have no experience with nitro engines and how to set them. is it quite easy if i read the instructions carefully?

greetings

[traxxasmaniac123]

whats the first intro song??? i love it

[jonert999]

you are crazy stuntinrockstar, the revo 3.3 was skill 4 on 5, he can go to 45 mp/h and more(my revo 3.3 go to 55 mp/h) so is not for the beginer

[gtbmxracer405]

how many tanks or runs can u get out of a quart of fuel?

[migselv16896]

just but an electric it is just as fast, and it starts the first time..

[MrRcmadneSS]

i have an t-maxx 3.3 but when the motor is getting warm its keep shutting of?

help!!

[petrolrcmaster1]

looks awesome hope its fun to drive

[888traxxasman888]

nice vid i totally want one.

[MrKTM311]

Have any problems with screws trying to backout? Because im looking at buying this.. but my tmaxx 3.3 (4908) was not so great of a truck.. let me know

[HAYUPAKARINGID]

You always make the BEST reviews !!! ***** I sold my REVO :( and now I wished that I didn't aaaaaaaaaahhh :)

[STUNTINrockstar]

Hey jetlag would this be a good begginer nitro monster truck? i want one but idk if its a good beginner...

[jetlag2222]

Well it's a great truck and it's as easy to tune the nitro engine as any nitro truck out there. So in that sense it's a good beginner truck. However, this truck closely resembles the REVO national champion race truck, so it is extremely powerful, fast, and can get you into trouble in a hurry if you aren't careful. So you would want to be very careful and not overdrive your abilities until you are comfortable with the power and handling.

[jetlag2222]

I think Traxxas rates it as a 4 or 5 on skill level - 5 being the top of the scale meaning it requires quite a bit of skill.

[gitarfreak21]

Hi jetlag2222:) can you make a battle vid, with T-Maxx 3.3 vs Revo 3.3?

[gitarfreak21]

Hi jetlag2222:) Could you make a battle vid, with T-Maxx 3.3 and Revo 3.3?

[MrBenthianpom]

ur the man im getting mine tomorrow my dad order it for me for my b-day(may 15) aha u got good videos keep it up....

[althoff24]

you should try a savage

[GtGills]

I got the same one but i got the green body

[bikinipatrol12]

i was wondering if u coud make a video about tuning this car and setup. because im only 12 and this will be my very first nitro truck.and what all the glow plugs in stuff i would like if u explained all that stuff to me.thanks

[frazzles12345]

what do you think is wrong if when i apply the throttle and then release it it keeps going for about 3 seconds?

[SuperSouthside4life]

yes it do u just dont no about nitro all people with nitro cars or trucks can tell u it do

[mambacx]

got a 5309 today. the first thing going on it is a pull start. the ez start is the biggest piece of shit to come to rc.

[SuperSouthside4life]

blue or purple gas will do the best for your nitro

[mambacx]

@SuperSouthside4life hahahahaha the color of the fuel means nothin

[chrisvswink]

wich can better wheelies, a t-maxx 3.3 or the revo 33

[afatbird0123]

are nitros hard to tune and maintain while/after running, and what do u think about using them on a beach?

[jetlag2222]

They are not hard to tune, especially nowadays. But it does take some experience. Also sand is an abrasive and is especially hard on any kind of engine. Make sure that no sand EVER gets in the carb or the cylinder wall will get scored and will ruin your engine compression.

[duster15670]

In uk seein how we can't get traxxas topfuel I suppose byrons race gen 2 fuel or odonnell both at 20% would be best for the revo 3.3 and other traxxas trucks too..

[jetlag2222]

Yes I have had this question before from my buddies in the UK and it's tough to answer because you don't have easy access to Traxxas fuel there. Here is what I would do if I lived in the UK. I would call Traxxas support and explain to them your problem. I would also tell them what fuels you have available there and ask which will work best. They are very helpful and I'm sure they will help you pick the best one.

[crazybearrc]

my revo 3.3 leaks fuel alot everytime i have it at idle. what is the reason for this?

[jetlag2222]

is it leaking out of the exhaust pipe? Or dripping out of the fuel line connections and fuel tank? Do an inspection and find out where it is leaking. You may need to replace some fuel lines if one of them got a hole or loose on it's connection. Just so you know, my REVO doesn't leak fuel at all - even if you turn it upside down...

[urmumzie]

i thought u were supposed to break it in an asphault

[jetlag2222]

That's probably what Traxxas will tell you... I've never asked them. Of course they want you to use their fuel because they made it specifically for their engines so it's probably going to work best. But that doesn't mean other top name brand fuels won't work. They will probably work just fine, but it's at your own risk to try them.

[hugolisette]

i think the grass was burning in one part of the video

[jetlag2222]

lol.  maybe smoking just a little. :)

[philin2222]

hey dude i have a few questions about the break in my t maxx 3.3 will come soon but here is a few questions

1 is it posible to brek in the engin in one full day?

2 how many tanks dose it take to break it in

3 howlong dose one tank last

4 what fule do you recomend and

5 on about what tank dose the full power of the engin come out

thanks for your time i cant wait for my t maxx its the 4908 modle :)

[jetlag2222]

Here is my #1 recommendation for you.... READ THE MANUAL AND FOLLOW IT EXACTLY!!!! Sometimes it comes with a DVD too. WATCH IT. I can't stress enough how important it is to break in a new engine correctly. Traxxas includes EXACT instructions that really do work. If you do it right, your engine will last for years. If you do it wrong or get in too much of a hurry, it won't last 1 year.

[jetlag2222]

Don't rush the break-in... Don't try to get done as quick as possible.... take your time and do it right. You will be much happier if you do. Trust me.

[philin2222]

thanks dude i was going to make shur to brek it in exactly to the manual i have the nitro vee and my dad flys nitro planes and helis so wen we got the nitro vee he broke it in cuz i was only 5 but i know lots about nitro engens how to tune them and stuff especaly concidering this is the nitro vee that thing never stays tuned lol but i never broke one in myself thanks for the help :)

[prolineracing1]

man,this truck is a way better truck than the savage xl k5.9..i have one and it took 6 tanks to break in and this one was way easier then that...

[SavageRC1]

@prolineracing1

thats funny because my picco p3 .28 took almost 1 full gallon to get fully broken in, alot of high end italian engine come with ALOT of pinch. but i dont see how this truck is better than the savage xl they both have their pros and cons.

[jetlag2222]

Better is a very relative term. If you want to talk professional racing level, then the REVO 3.3 has won the national title the last 5 years in a row. But if you want to talk about what is better just for you, then that becomes a much more personal decision and really comes down to what you like. I am not dissing the savage. It's a great truck too. And very capable. They are both great trucks as you pointed out.

[SavageRC1]

@jetlag2222

yea i understand and totally agree man i just hate the whole fanboy thing you know?, i like both trucks and just recently purchased a like new revo 3.3 for a hundred bucks and im still debating on whether i should keep it or sell it and make some money off of it. what do you think i should do? the truck is going to be for my little brother that is just getting into rc

[prolineracing1]

i just got this truck!going to break it in tommarow!you make breaking it in look easy!lolz

[duster15670]

You think you have it expensive in America..it's £440 best price here in uk and that works out to be around $750..

[duster15670]

What's best fuel and % to put in the revo 3.3..can't seem to get topfuel in uk..

[jetlag2222]

I'm not sure what the equivalent is in the UK but TopFuel 20% is the best for this truck. It's what Traxxas recommends that you run.

[eg8sohc]

@nywa08 i bought mine at a local hobby shop it was the last one left:) im repairing it now i stripped a gear in the tranny still havnent got around to rippin it apart

[nywa08]

@eg8sohc how did the gear strip?

[euroboi101]

hey what do think is better the new revo 3.3 5309 or the t-maxx

[euroboi101]

0n my first nitro i forgot to break in the engine and 3 years later today still running great

[jetlag2222]

You are extremely lucky. It may be that your initail driving was close enough to the break in process that it worked. Don't expect it to work next time... I know many guys that ruined their engines driving without breaking the engine in first.

[eg8sohc]

@nywa08 i love mine its fast nd has enough torque to flip over on its back on a take off:) nd tuning is not hard at all it shows u how in the book. If i were you i would deff buy it you will be happy you did

[RoyalsChamp5]

@eg8sohc need to tune it better if it flips lol

mine never flips....

losilst xxl

[nywa08]

@eg8sohc where do you get your nitro from? every place i see is expensive then they charge at least another $10 for shipping

[nywa08]

im thinking about getting either this or the E-Maxx Brushless. i had an S-Maxx a few years ago but i didnt know how to tune it. now that im older, i understand how to tune it but im still nervous it might not work right. i only had my S-Maxx for 2 weeks before i returned it. & i know electrics can be more money now

[eg8sohc]

got the same truck cant wait to break it in tommorow nice video:)

[jetlag2222]

sweet! It's a great truck. Just follow all the instructions and break it in right, and it will last for years.

[nywa08]

@eg8sohc, how do you like it so far? im thinking about getting one (read my comment above)

[TheAlexanderholst]

is the traxxas revo 3.3 har to tune? compared to other nitro motors.

[jetlag2222]

IT's as easy to tune as any other nitro. Better than many.

[0012554]

i wish i had just ANY nitro model, I'm too poor =(

but if i get one, it would definitely be one of the traxxas revo models FOR SURE!!!!!!!

[SuperSnoozie]

this will really help me thanx

[101quadrider]

thanks

[101quadrider]

what is the top speed of this truck?

[stevester189]

45+

[ClUbfeenx3]

best video you got talent. Keep it up

[pimptydimp]

good vid for noobs, i know i was lost when i first got my original tmaxx, couple q's for ya, for the fourth and fifth tanks, you werent giving it to much gas, or (for the fifth) letting it shift into second gear, or was that just not on the vid? if not does this seem to work better for you? also for newer ppl, you want the motor to get a little hot (240ish) during the break in too right?, thnx for the vid, like how Remember by Disturbed was on and an ad for GnR came up :-) nice vid!

[TheDJOTTI]

good job man,its one of the best vid ever seen...

[bobisbackinblack2555]

can you make more vids

[0012554]

he has (idk on the revo 3.3 vids)

[duster15670]

One sexy truck is the new revo 3.3 (5309)..id like one of these but due to money which one should i get a havoc or menace or bit more money a jato 3.3 or keep saving and get the revo 3.3?..help please and why i should get the one u think i should get....thanks

[1991BMWM5]

Deffinently save for the 3.3, the thing is a beast!

[ceejay1024]

I dont know why guys always complain about breaking nitro car/truck models in. Its enjoyable to me haha

[PinBot1986]

I love your videos!

And your choises of songs!

Love Pantera!

I just got home a Revo 5308 I THINK!

The manual is 5309 but it has got some other wheels which is crazy choise because it's 14mm hex! I do not know what the present owner thought when he put that on ...

[ceejay1024]

Hey jet I thought breaking in the engine in grass isnt reccomended, isnt it reccomended to do it on a flat smooth surface?

[jetlag2222]

Yes it is best to brake in on a hard, easy rolling surface. The few seconds of shots in this vid were for the cam. I did most of the break-in on cement.

[Chanceisthebomb]

does this break alot bcuz i gotta slayer and it breaks way to much

[ceejay1024]

Yea I've gotten crappy coments on the slayers/slashes. Ill tell ya what though, the revos take a beating. I had the original 2.5R edition and i beat the balls off of it, sometimes you do have to buy parts

[traxxasmaniac123]

wut 2.4 do u hav in mini?

[Tman0406]

hey jetlag do you mind makeing another vid on the new revo 3.3 5309. cause im bored watching the same vids every day. and i also want to learn more about the revo 5309.i know about rc cars i just want to know more about it. i have a erevo 1/16 vxl and its cool. can u make a revo 5309 vid

[Tman0406]

hey jetlag do u think a revo 3.3 5309 is good for starters i already have a e revo 1/16 vxl and thinkin of getting a revo 5309

[Tman0406]

i have a erevo 1/16 vxl and it is awsome

[Tman0406]

i like your revo 3.3 5309 i hope i get one myself

[jetlag2222]

I hate winter.... lol.  I've never been to Finland, but I hear you guys get winter pretty much all the time.

[rcbmxer22]

hey jetlag do you think you'll ever get a stampede?

[jetlag2222]

Well, probably not... the stampede is a great truck, but I'm not really into 2wd trucks... That's why I never got a slash until they came out with the 4x4 slash. But the stampede is a cool truck and tons of guys I talk to love it.

[pieman12345678987654]

@rcbmxer22 i wouldnt recomend the stampede cause its the worst handleing truck ever made. if you want something cheap and good get a slash

[traxxasmaniac123]

where did u get the hat?

[jetlag2222]

My wife ordered for me online. I don't know where she got it. lol.

[nunomftomas]

Hey Jim. I have a problem with my Revo 5309. When I try to use the reverse he runs very slowly. Is a problem of tunning?

[jetlag2222]

Sorry, there is no way I can tell from that description. If it's still under warranty, I would highly suggest you give Traxxas support a call. It's free and they will step you thru several tests to figure out what's wrong.

[nunomftomas]

Jim, thanks anyway. Because I live in Portugal, for me it`s not so easy to get this support, but I have solved the problem already. It was simple a the truck is brand new. Best regards and wait for my videos...

[traxxasmaniac123]

i hav 2 get 1! (the hat and trucklol)

[traxxasmaniac123]

once the wether warms up iwill get tmaxx 2.5 R for 1rst nitro. to difficult?

[Maxumized]

DUDE...

[TheTraxxasrevo]

How much did the truck cost because I want to get one?

[traxxas441]

man mine cost right at 600 dollars from hobbytown...and ever since i got it i have only had to replace one part... which was the knuckle lol

[RM250D8rzr]

what break in method are you useing?

[sonicboomracing]

god i love youre videos. because of this video i now want to get a new tmaxx the only reason i got the emaxx instead is cuz i didnt want a nitro but now i want a tmaxx so thanks for taken $360 right out of my pocket

[jetlag2222]

rofl! sorry to cost you another $360. But you will love it.  :))

[traxxasmaniac123]

is tmaxx 2.5 good starter? in nitro imean have 1 brushless truck on lipo so the speed is no prob.

[geedunk13]

I am getting a nitro car in 1 month, I can't decide b/t the T-maxx 3.3 and the Revo 3.3, what are the differences, and the prices. Also did you just do the idle break in?(PLEASE RESPOND)

[jetlag2222]

If you do the idle only break-in you might as well throw the new truck in the trash can. You will ruin a perfectly good engine. If you get one, READ the instructions and follow them as closely as you can.... a word to the wise...

[geedunk13]

yea, I wasn't planning on doing the idle break in,lmao, I was just wondering if you did, b/c all I saw was idle except for the end. I'm going to do the Traxxas break in, anyways, what about my question on the T-Maxx and Revo 3.3 Thank you :)

[traxxasmaniac123]

u seem as happy as a kid in a free hoby shop!

[y0rkie1011]

i have two nitro stampedes and they usually dont start up to well but lately they have been great. great vid!!

[cod4mw2123]

what are so difficult about nitros?

[jetlag2222]

What's so difficult about real engines? Same question. :) Some people can work on them, some people can't. But either way it takes a lot of experience and practice. You can't just walk into the store, buy a nitro car, and expect to know everything about tuning and running a nitro engine.

[cod4mw2123]

thaks, it would be awesome if you did a video on the jato.

[xmoder23]

would you recomend this to someone that has never had/driven a nitro truck
