bsbllplayer7: Dude are you kidding or did you actaully put gasoline and water into the engine. If you did you shouldnt even touch this hobby with a 10 foot pole. Your engine would need to be stripped down and cleaned thoroughly to get all the gunk and Water(LOL) out. After you get it cleaned then you should try using NITRO fuel, The only fuel that works with NITRO engines. O and you are also going to have to replace the fuel lines and clean the fuel tank out aswell.Poor Trx 2.5. Man i sure hope you are kidding. does the 7 in your name represent your age??????

Sorry it just makes me mad to see a beautiful engine get riuned. If you cant tell, i love this hobby. bsbllplayer7: sorry if i sounded rough, but you should have came here and asked what fuel to run before you started the engine. Actaully you should ahve read the whole manual before even touching the truck.

Nitro
I really think he's trying to be funny nobody is that......Anyway unleaded gas won't kill the motor.. I have used that to clean motors that have been involved in crashes on my airplanes...Two stroke is a two stroke....Gas gets the mud out...If he really did this then it now needs to be flushed with after-run oil....The fuel lines will need replaced..
I think he's jokin

I dont care if your joking or whatever.. These cars DO NOT USE GASOLINE!!
They use Nitro-Methanol!!!!
This stuff costs about 20 bucks a gallon.. OR $15 if you use.. NEvermind
Anyway Go to your hobby sotore and do not tell them you use gasoline or they'll die laughing!
