They Just Don't Care (and neither do i) 

Yep, anything to save a buck while still charging the same price.

Dang dude that makes me want to throw up. Shame on them. Good on you, you’re one of the most knowledgeable nitro dudes on the Tube and I appreciate your videos. Take care bud

I have 20+ year old tmaxx's still running with original piston and sleeve of the cast version. I get what you are saying Traxxas is cheap but its that way with most major companies trying to milk their products for every cent. If you take care of them its not the end of the world. As least you can still buy them. Thanks for the video

Great info and comparison!! Thx for sharing 👊👊

Wazzzup man thanks for the video 👊😎 all knowledge is good knowledge

That is just par for the course with Traxxas……. Think about all the problems the 3.3 has

Wow that is bad! I have new piston and sleeve in my new parts bin I'm definitely going to look at it and see what it looks like. They also never had oil holes in the top pin bores I put my own in witch definitely helps. They really need to stop the bullshit

The pro 15 didnt come out until 1996 as an option, and there was a 15 sport, and a 15 pro. There was the Image .12 from 92 to 95, then the TRX .12 came out in 1995, till 1996. then the .15 was standard 97 and onward.

dunno what these are for but that's digusting. See it every day in every way, machined steel becomes cast iron, becomes cast aluminium, becomes stamped aluminium, becomes plastic.

Niiiiice

Thanks for the info bro not good how cheep they are this is one of the main reasons I will not buy another traxxas 🤜

maybe its made of new lightweight Metals ! lets see the longevity of piston sleeve🙂

nice

Typical with these small hat big companies these days

I remember your early videos of you at a skate park with I think a traxxas rustler? Muggy commented on that video saying something like no audio of the engine and you had music playing so he didn’t like clip, all in jest. Are you close to being a licensed mechanic yet? You been in this community a long time. All the best for Christmas and the new year 👍 From Juan Tu.

you'll love what they did to the 2.5 and 3.3

That's the idea, not made to last. Shame

Can’t expect much from Traxxas. Made in Taiwan or China. Good quality control costs money, and Traxxas is greedy. Dump the Traxxas engines and get a real engine. Novarossi!!

The 1990s were better.
