Classic Traxxas T-Maxx Pro 15 - The Start Of Nitro Greatness - Review & Start

[@bustedaw11]

Keeping the OG king alive, hell yeah my man! I remember seeing the tmaxx in the hobby shop the first week it came out back in 99. Trucks been an icon ever since. Ive got a brand new 2.5 truck and 2 og 3.3 trucks i run. Working on collecting all nip og 99 parts to build a brand new pro 15 model. Keep it real my man!

[@williamoleary9330]

This absolutely was the one that really got everything started. Someone is actually selling an unopened, factory sealed Pro 15. He wants $800 which is insane, but I guess he has the patience to try and get what he wants.

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

Oh yeah I remember that I used to have one. 24 years ago

[@Grifter371]

This is the RC car that changed everything in my opinion. And, correct me if I’m wrong, really started the RTR craze. It’s good and bad because I always enjoyed building the cars but it also brought a lot more people into the hobby. As for the bearings I would pick up a set of Fast Eddy bearings. They’re $13 for the TRX .15 and probably not 25 years old like the set on eBay. I’ve used them for my TRX 3.3 with no complaints.

Deadly Man! I still have my OG Tmaxx but it is far from stock.

[@rawrc]

Nice old school show👌

[@Cpt-Pugwash14]

I have a 100% original MINT condition Tmaxx .15 from 2001... not a spec of dirt or a scratch on it :) piece of history

[@hybrid32494]

A sickening collectible my dude!! IN reality these old trucks are still fairly drivable today and you could even bash them due to easy parts availability too. But ofcourse we want to keep these vintage treasures in pristine shape, lol! You know! NitroGang!>

[@amputeerc9298]

Lean out the low end and close the idle needle and it will stop the fuel from dripping out of the front bearing. No need to buy a new bearing.

[@s.o.sSavage]

Hay bro great informative and entertaining video as usual, personally I would like to see the $16 bearings being replaced in the original engine. Thanks for the video Bro.

[@JohnSteed-gs5bb]

You know Traxxas parts are cheap! So keep the engine and save the money for the next taco hell food trip! Great Video!

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

I had that same problem with that 24 years ago

[@hybrid32494]

whats up my bro!! Yes, this is pretty common, luckily these parts are cheap and readily available. Traxxas 4 life!!!

[@joshuadulaney5559]

Nice

[@jacobcervantes9513]

Well everyone knows you can’t kill a nitro! Especially the pro .15! Order up those bearings!

[@Blue_Smoke_81780]

Great truck 🤙

[@hybrid32494]

Thanks my dude! Makin sure ppl know about the revolutionary 1999 first generation Tmaxx.

[@kanenstuff]

Here in Malaysia from my local store the have the nitro Revo and Slash no T Max. I have never had a Traxxas but I like the Revo 3 speed and reverse.

[@ChrisBrownRcdaddy24]

[@michaelgraham2943]

[@alexistorres8825]

I found a old t maxx with the same motor for like 100 bucks now thinking about buying it

[@tannercurtis1836]

Bro get Fast Eddy bearings TFE1596, they work way better than the traxxas ones. I've done several engines with them.

[@hybrid32494]

great suggestion bro! I truly appreciate that, I've written down the part number, Lets make this vintage nitro Great again!.

[@tannercurtis1836]
