Default traxxas 3.3 pistion and sleeve

Anyone know where I can get the best deal on a piston and sleeve?

Why would you want to do that? For just a few bucks more you can get a brand new everything engine on the TRX engine replacement program ERP.

Use the replacement program . I have rebuilt these a couple times and never really been worth it . It is better to start all new. Just my opinion though.

A few bucks more than 50 isn't the replacement plan over 100 I've rebuilt before and never had any problems I just always reset my carb to factory settings I just thought maybe someone knew a site that maybe had some real low prices. I have a 2.5 and a 3.3 I wanna rebuild

I'd check out ebay or list a WTB on the market place.

When you install a new piston and sleeve they never seem to last as long . You should really replace the rod as well when you do it.
