3.3 hesitates at wot after shifting into 2nd gear
My 3.3 is my second maxx and i believe it has a decent tune,it has great low end power (wheelies on demand) and decent top end when i gradually accelerate but if i punch it it will hesitate after 2nd gear and lose power and not gain like my 2.5. I was wondering if this could be related to the opti-drive or if anyone has had the same problem.

i had the same exact problem on my new 3.3, come to find out, it still blows blue smoke even if its too lean. i richened it up and the problem went away. Then i had the same problem with it when i had a crack in my gas tank that i couldnt see. Check your seal and gastank and lines for any air leaks.

Thanks for the input douggiefresh2323 i checked for air leaks and richened it up and i'm still getting the same results (bogging at wot)i'm just confused i've never had this problem with my 2.5 and it seems as if the motors tune in a similar way and have the same carb.i guess i'll check for air leaks again in the morning.
