missions1 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 how much fuel has the engine seen how old is it will it hold its weight on the flywheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHUNKERLUV Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Its either worn to hell or you have an air leak thats getting the engine so hot its expanding and giving blow past the piston...either way its toast by the sounds of it. As I said in another post if you come upto parkhall I'll have a go at pinching it for you. See if you can get abit more out of it but personally I'd get on ebay and buy the cheap .18 SH engine.

CHUNKERLUV Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh dear it seems that the trx2.5 is rear exhaust kind of causes a problem getting a replacement engine.....most small blocks are side port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHUNKERLUV Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh right its a big block engine then....so not difficult to replace if its had it....the SH engines from ebay are OK as far as I know, pop it up and I'll have a look at it.

RCsilverthorn Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 hi i got a thunder tiger eb4 s2 .21 and that does exactly the same thing ive tuned it and tuned it and i cant get it to run for more than a minute and then wont restart... i even took it back to the shop and they said they tuned it but then i got back home and it wouldn't even start... i'm going to sell it now and try a hpi rs4 evo 3 hopefully that wont be such a high maintenance car.
