Ok, I have a question. I flight RC helicopters and I have a TT.53 on it. I use Magnum Heli Plus fuel that its 30% Nitro and 22% fully synthetic oil content; Here is the question; can I use it on the Traxxas 3.3? I use Traxxas 20% on it and its fast, but since I have 5 cases of Magnum 30% was wondering if I can use it on the truck too! and how much power it will get?

You can NOT use airplane fuels with cars.

Its not airplane fuel; its helicopter; its stronger! We use it on a airplane and it double the speed to the point that the plane folded the wings back ( the plane was flying faster than the wings! lol The other plane the engine and prop came out of it in flight like the cartoons! lol

But thanks for the info; I was told that I can use it but it will really shorten the life of the 3.3. But I wanted to ask the question here that are some guys with the knowledge. Thanks!

It will definitely shorten the life, it's just not designed to run with that much oil. I run 30% Sidewinder, I'd suggest that in a heartbeat if you are looking for more power.

Try a three speed conversion for the transmission, use taller tires or change you pinion.

The supercharger and or nitros is a lot of money spent on something, IMO, that is really not worth it. If your dirving ability surpasses the power of the 3.3 see what other, more powerful, motors will fit your truck.

The maximum rpm !!! Thats what you are shooting for. Supercharged + nitrous won't help top speed, its not TV. The 3.3 can only handle so many rpm's 20% 30% 40% not gonna help either.

Just curious; Does anyone has video or knowledge of whats the top recorded speed of a Revo with a 3.3?

I seen few videos of them in the midto high 60 mph!
