Another blown engine? M.O.R.R.

All traxxas brushless stuff can really. Anything with a TQI at least.

 

Hah, that truck is on a 45 degree slope.

 

52 degrees actually. I got my wife to take the picture while I idled up this trail with my 6.73 gears. It’s about 15 miles long and leads to the top of Kilimanjaro.

 

Do you call your truck "Shadowmere" by chance?

 

My license plate is SHDWMR. How did you know?

 

I gotta fix some stuff first lol. Replaced all the seals in the ram, replaced hydro lines, went to a bigger reservoir and it's doing much better but still puking fluid...

Front end is torn apart for a knuckle rebuild and RCV rebuild right now too

 

Is that dog part goat? He's got some skills.

 

Good eyes. I trained it to crab-walk under the truck on my way up the hill. Too dangerous to have it in the cab in case I flip.

 

15 miles on a 52° slope puts you at 62,410 feet... assuming you started at sea level... you are somewhere in our stratosphere. Watch out for those commercial jets and weather balloons.

 

Don’t come at me with your mathematics. My truth doesn’t include math.

 

I aspire for Nerd, but think I am stuck Dork?

 

Besides I think his truck was turned off and the Daschund was doing all the work. Not dissing Daschunds, but unless you can get 35s under them they just don't have much clearance.

 

Dachshunds are definitely low riders of the dog world. However, their original breeding purpose makes them absolute badasses.

 

How would the oil catch can prevent this from happening?

 

The dog is sized to match my lift. Old wheelers know you lift first, then size your dog.

 

Nope. He started in the Marianas Trench and ended up on Everest. Juuuuuuuuust enough distance lol.

 

Well all this new info scared me. ADDW1 catch can on the way. I could care less about vapor blow by for regular driving, but if it will even mildly prevent/delay hydrolocking (...petrolocking?) the motor with a bunch of oil, seems like an easy choice to me.

 

Yeah. I didn't like dealing with the catch can on my last bike. Like you, I feel that sucking some oil vapors down the intake is okay. The problem in my mind is if all 3rd Gens are effected, some are, or very few are. I need to make a point of checking when I'm out having fun.

 

Why worry about it? If this thread has taught me anything... it's that Toyota will buy me a new engine, if I blow it up on a trail! Winning!!!
