a guy brought one of these into the shop to have the piston replaced. When we gave it back, we fully opened the throttle, as it had only been 1/3rd open before. He was in 2 days later after crashing it at top speed XD
i run mine on 30% nitrotane man is it quick just an awsome car if any 1 is thinking of buying 1 go get 1 defernatly just make sure u know how to handle nitro cars cause these are fassssst
If you double the power in that car you will break everything that can be broken, ball bearings, clutch, gears, belt -- none of those are designed to handle TWICE the stock power!
Yeah, they might last one or two runs, at medium power application, but several full speed runs, or parking lot bashing? No way, that Fusion will eat up itself if you try it.
Your three-speed gearbox will also become two-speed due to the torque, as it is not adjustable.
I just my 10 year old Tamiya TA02 Escort Cosworth and rebuilt it with a 2 x 13 brushed motor and 3700mh battery, I'm addicted again having not used it for about 8 years but want something quicker now - Wondering whether to buy a TA05/R and then maybe upgrading with a Mamba Max as some of the vids on here look awesome or whether to step into the unknown and buy a R28 (as I've never had a petrol/nitro car before), love the idea of the 3 speed gearbox! Would you recommend it?
well if you never had a nitro car and u want to get into it i would go for something a little cheaper ,
but if u want 2 go fast its not a matter of nitro vs electric , but what engine . . .
but i have an traxxas e-maxx with a novak 4.5 HV engine/ESC and it goes about 50mph , so if u want to go fast its about goin a right engine in the car ,
dayum that was fast

is it a good Car? I am running off road cars but i am thinking of buying an on road? what about the fusion? Does it brakes easily? Thanks
andreashh92 2 years ago
ya its a good car ,
74.4mph on gps ,
it breaks if u do cartwheels w/ it or smash into a curb just like any thing else , but other than that it holds up pretty well . . .
do u run any electric brushless , if u have the money thats the way to go , check out these specs . . .
pacco .28 nitro engine = 2.84 hp ,
mamba monster on 6s lipos electric = 5.5hp

No, that isn't the "way to go",
If you double the power in that car you will break everything that can be broken, ball bearings, clutch, gears, belt -- none of those are designed to handle TWICE the stock power!

I double the power from 2.8 to 5.5 hp in my X-Ray truggy and it is not eating up itself , its a single speed though . . .
Watch my video , a top speed one coming soon , it think it will do 50+ . . .
I thought you might be interested since your a off road guy . . .
