  • @CanadianTechHelps it's not regular diesel fuel, it's special rc fuel for diesels, it's hard to find and pricey.

  • @Jx1x3

    yeah it's almost the same price as Nitro, infact some Nitro blends are cheaper than this stuff...

  • @Jx1x3 That sucks. I now run a cheaper nitro fuel, $20...

  • Wow, this would REALLY save some money... nitro is really expensive... 1 gallon costs me $40 and lasts me 2 months... diesel is $5 a gallon and would last me 2 months?

  • @CanadianTechHelps

    bro, this mix they use is over 30bucks a gallon!

  • @brushless55 Wow, That sucks. I now run a cheaper nitro fuel, $20...

  • is this diesel converted revo 3.3 much easier to tune as compared to the stock trx 3.3 racing engine, thanks in advance.

  • LMAO, I could crawl faster than that.......

  • Doesn't sound right at low RPM. Sounds like it's misfiring. Maybe a bit too lean? Compression off?

  • Do you have the conversion for the losi 454 engine?

  • This does not run on regular diesel fuel as many think it does. It takes special diesel fuel that is just as expensive as nitro. If it ran on pump diesel dont you think you would see more of these kits?

  • it sure as hell would be alot cheaper!!!!

  • The last time I converted a TRX engine to diesel, the crank rusted to hell. Terrible experience.

  • @AlchemistHawk

    You dumb f@#k diesle wont rust your crank I think your smokin to much crank threw your rusty pipe keep you negativity to yourself loser

  • @savage464646 jesus christ you troll. i was just saying what happened to me. I wasn't dissing anyone. Pull your head out of your ass you ignorant blight to humanity.

  • @AlchemistHawk well how the hell would diesle rust the crank its oil based lubricant you must have had more moisture than diesle in there somehow then. and your right about the comment im sorry for that I was having a shitty day and snapped when I read that diesle rusted something again im sorry for the comments they were out of line and I feel dumb for writeing such filth but diesle would not rust your crank!

  • @savage464646 Who knows? It could have been from sitting, it could have been from bad gaskets and seals. I can't say. It was over 2 years ago with an old Pro 15. I remember taking it apart after a failed diesel conversion and the crank was rusted.

  • Hey 67Rcodefairline, they are 159.95 for the 3.3 kit, fuel Is same price as nitro. I'm hoping to get it soon for my tmaxx. It seems pretty cool.

  • good job guys.....is it more efficient?

  • I ould really be interested in converting my s maxx 3.3 to diesel. how much are your conversion kits?

  • You can get this information from our website. davisdieseldevelopment

  • that is so much more slower than a nitro engine whats the point?

  • what do you do to the engine to convert it to diesel? and dose it have more torque?

  • Do some research

  • that tuned original to lazy? That seems so lazy.... Boooooooo......

  • wow...i bet it has more torque than nitro engines...probably gud for hill climbimg

  • The stock engine in a revo 3.3 is a diesel, but 2-stroke.

  • I have a dieselized axial 28 from him and I tell you it's not nitro. It's kerosene base and you won't be able to start it witha pull start. Lot's of torque.

  • Hahahahahahahahahahahaha lmfao you guys are idiots all nitro rc motors are diesel lol think about how a rc motor works it has a hot spot (glow plug) that when fuel and air reach a certin pressure explode this principle is called dieseling all diesle have glow plugs (all modern ones) this guy just pulled a wool blanket over your eyes lol

  • @xandercage7681 youre describing the diesel theory. im not disagreeing that rc motors are in fact diesel but this is a completely different type of motor. a stock nitro motor could never reach the torque and grunt of this conversion

  • @xandercage7681 Just had to be the first to call YOU the idiot. This is a diesel conversion, not to run on your every day diesel. but the model diesel. Ether kero and other ingredients. there is no glow plug in an RC diesel. but rather variable compression. your theory is correct. but this engine is Not a nitro engine. :P

  • @xandercage7681 I laughed so hard at this dumbass. Other than this conversion all NITRO motors run on NITROMETHANE you fucking idiot.

  • can you start this engine with a pull start, and does this engine have the same speed as stock.

  • what website did you go to to buy the diesel conversion kit.

  • what if you put regular diesel fuel (car diesel i mean) mixed with about 10% oil and you run it on a stock glow engine? is it going to work?

  • non cammina per niente altro che diesel

  • Since this guy's using diesel, theres no lub to cool the engine.

    Bye bye engine!

  • well no

    it uses ether kerosene and castor oil

    so the engine lasts longer has more power and is cooler....

    and does not use glowheads

  • Wait, the temperature is lower then using nitro ???????

    But why is it stalling then in the video?

  • i dont know it can be to much comression

    or a wrong setting.. or even that the engine is to cold (then it will runn like crap)

    i dunno it isnt my car

  • Oh okay thanks :)

  • i have a cox diesel

    but i cant find the kerosene...

  • can you use regular diesel out of the pump

  • no that wont be good

  • so its still nitro or something cheaper

  • no it is a mix of ether kerosene and castor oil

    so it is just a little cheaper as nitro

  • diesel is usually used with old rc plane engines isnt it?

  • omg mann how high do u like ur idol it sounded ill like it could gag up fuel but there wasnt enough fuel to gag on so it made the weird back fireing noise

  • sounds like you were overheating

  • What are the advantages?

  • DIESEL O_0

  • This is what i have been looking for! I reside in Africa. I bought a Revo 3.3 over a year ago and have not been a ble to get it started due to non availability of nitro fuel or nitromenthane in my country. How can i order the kit and everyting i would need to convert my Revo.3.3 to a diesel Revo 3.3?

  • Comment removed

  • Why do you have to be ugly. I believe you can get a 4-stroke that runs on gasoline, all you need to do is stick oil in the fuel.

  • where is second gear

  • i think that it is cool as hell. I would have never thought of using diesel engine like this. Just to think while us nitro guys are stopping to fuel up it will be like that commercial on tv where they just pass the pump and keep on trucking. But i bet that this truck will out pull any or our trucks any day of the week. Just to think no more glow plugs. One more question diesel what is the top speed of your diesel revo i am curious and thinking about building one from the ground up.

  • The Revo in the video is covering 160ft from a dead stop to breaking in 3 seconds. Thats approx 40MPH. Traxxas rates it's trucks at 270ft. It's safe to say it would have reached 50mph, but I doubt the tires would have stayed on. If you change the gears, you can go faster but you will need low profile tires. Ultimate speed could be 60-70mph.

  • where can u by these engines my 5 year old t-maxx could use one of these

  • MUCH slower than any nitro. Not a good mod.

  • Disel? o_o

  • Nice Can u run pump deisel ?

  • can u run this on propain?

  • mine faster and its battery power much better urs is 2 loud

  • how to convert it to diesel??

  • diesel is bad for glow engines, you re going to blow your engine, and it's going so slow.. my stock t maxx is twice as fast. i give u credit for being able to do it and ingenuity, 0 for performance.

  • We've been at this for 33 years with proven results. Where do you get your comments from? Have you ever tried our products? We've never had anyone come back to us saying our conversions blew their engine.

  • @BanditKaine hey you know that diesel truck engines have glow plugs.

  • Odd never seen somthing like this befor

  • sloooooooooow

  • is it relly desil

  • how fast will it go?

  • about 30mph my friend
