Hi Guys

Does any one know of a reliable nitro engine tuner here in Oz ?

I'd like to get some porting done and what ever else may be suggested on the Traxxas 3.3.

Any thoughts appreciated

Nitro Addicts Australia, Mark is probably the best engine bloke in Australia & one of the top modifiers in the world, I run his Godzilla .21 engine & its crazy, probably to much power for a buggy,lol, but its great. He was employed by GO Engines as some sort of manager at one stage & had one of their engines built to his specs then he adds his own custom work, one of these in a Traxxas though would destroy it, the Traxxas that is, not the engine, Traxxas gears wouldn't hold up.
You could find out about mods to the 3.3 & with the right parts & better quality parts it would be ok but your better off with a better engine.
There is an aftermarket rod & crank available for the 3.3 but I'm not sure where to get them now, think it was a U.K company that done the rods.

Agree that an engine upgrade is an easier way to increase your power. if you were racing and are limited to a certain engine or displacement then the engine mods would be worthwhile.

Slightly off topic but have you considered converting to brushless/lipo for a massive power increase?

Buy a dremel, do some homework and have a crack at it....

Its not hard mate all you need is abit of common sense and a steady hand is a bonus

I started porting my own engines and I still do, not so much nitro anymore but the gassers

I had and still have a thunder tiger pro 21bxr that would make my savage do backflips in every gear and at any speed with a stupidly low gear ratio
