But I got it to start and it only took me 2 days! How I manage to keep a reef tank is beyond me sometimes.
Hehehe, wait until you hit something with it and count the broken parts

I'd swear almost every time I take my truck out it's at least 20-30$. Last time I caught the front right tire on a big enough tree; broke the upper and lower a-arms, bent the dog bone, and broke the steer servo saver

The problem is for every part you break, there is an 'upgraded' better part that always costs more

damn these expensive hobbies.....

your fuel line needs to be changed .. those lines get clogged up after awhile .. garantee you if you change the fuel line it will work ( about 3 bucks )
I have a revo 3.3 as well, and I change my line atleast once a year.

you can try it but I dont think it will help if it was the fuel line it would not start at all if it did start it would run real lean as it would be sucking air in the the fuel. run it till it stalls and see how much compression it has.
