Hay bro I know you say it’s slow but I’m surprised how much that pro15 actually shifted that truck especially with no compression? Thanks for the video man and keeping nitro alive baby👍👍👍

[@PIZZA_and_NITRO]

Can't help smiling when a vintage T-MAXX hits that 2 speed baby ! No nitro left behind gang !

[@hybrid32494]

Thsnks man!! The question is, should I just get a new piston and sleeve for this truck, then we can truly compare it to the stock speed of the original model. What do you think?

[@allaspectsrc4178]

Ahhh Tmaxx tim has returned..it lives it lives . Awesome video my dude as usual 👌🏿

[@rome79735]

T-Maxx are great, I purchased one, my friend helped my break in the motor, and tune the carburetor. I been having a blast ! I raced my T-Maxx against his Nitro Revo. AWSOME!

[@CH3NO2Steve]

Awesome restoration and run! The pro 15 t-maxx is a legend!

[@Faces98A]

love the energy of this guy, lets goooo nitro gang

[@hybrid32494]

Thanks my dude! Just making sure im out there having a good time burning nitro, you know!! Keeing it real, and hitting that 2-speed baby! lol.

[@BlackTeaChannel]

Sickening T-Maxx. RIP Big Lenny.

[@hybrid32494]

Lenny will be missed, a true mon cookie cutter like this tmaxx was when it first was released in 1999. Order 66 arrma🤣

[@jeschreindl]

Dude nice work man those little pro .15 are so hard to kill. Quite possibly the quintessential nitro monster truck and the one that introduced me to hobby grade rc and more importantly nitro!

[@JohnSteed-gs5bb]

As usual, great onboard pictures! If possible, please make this bad boy great again!

[@mattster197]

Two Speed Baby! Love seeing the old girl run again. I have all the robinson racing hardened steel gears for the Tmaxx but new trans not the reverse one.

[@hybrid32494]

whats up my dude! its always a good time when you're out there burning nitro and yelling 2-speed baby, even with a dead engine, lol..thanks for watching bro.

[@briant4162]

I use to race my TMax in the monster truck class 23 years ago before people went to building truggies those were the day the inside tire rising up going around the turn's still have two in the attic greatest truck of all time

[@brandonblue9613]

Tune definitely fell right in once that idle dropped after you richened it up a scootch. It’s a decent runner bro 🤙🏽

[@pacing1978]

HELL YEAH BROTHER🎉🎉 2 Speed BABYY

[@stevelamonte1962]

My first rc ever was a pro.15 tmaxx, still got it and has a stinger pipe watching this makes me want to blow the dust off of it and run it

[@RCDUSSE]

🔥 T MAXX TODAY 🎉 RWD

[@hybrid32494]

Hey my dude!! Good luck man! Run rich and loud and never stop being an innovator!!

[@Tegridy_Rc]

I just recently got an hpi nitro rush with about as much compression as this does! I’m hoping it runs half as long as this does… lmao great video dude

[@hybrid32494]

Hey bro! I got an equally deas hpi nitro rush too and more than likely it will run worse than this pro15. The 15fe was ABN and single needle carb, so get ready it willl fire up and run like a mintute prob. Thx bro!!

[@Tegridy_Rc]

@ Which hpi rotary carb was an upgrade for the pro15?

[@joshuacrider781]

❤🇺🇸🫡 making nitro RC great again!

[@hybrid32494]

Thanks man! im trying one at a time ,it aint easy, but it's totally worth it for the long term success of the small segment of the nitro hobby at this point. There are more and more electrics and no new nitros getting released, let's hope somehow this channel and the viewers like you can help change that.

[@rcnitroflux2361]

Gotta get my classic t Maxx out bud soon great run where t Maxx tony lolol

[@nc_g8gt]

love the energy bro!💪

[@BoostedRC]

TIMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYY!!!!😂😂😂😂 well done Tim fixing that Binford Tmaxx

[@hybrid32494]

LOL, Binford, ahahha. Now that is a clever reference!!

[@harlemNYCrc]

Sickening! Great Restoration you Can’t k💥 it! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯

[@hybrid32494]

Thanks my dude!! I think I will find a piston and sleeve for this truck and we can test or a speed increase and compare to the original one.

[@birdman316]

hekk yaa brother! "stay the course" on this classic man!

[@kashmurray1199]

That brought back memories.

[@Craig-m4e]

Still got mine. If remember right it was just finne 10 years ago when I put it in the box...2.5 then 3.3 Revo and Maxx took over.

[@brandonblue9613]

Finish restoring that little baby 💪🏽

[@stevegallego832]

Rebuild the engine on the r max it deserves it 👍👍

[@StoneFPV-]

Yo, sick video tmaxx Tim! No relation to Tim the tool man Taylor but how about to tmaxx Tony? 😂

[@rizz0d]

that's the old skool skinny maxx too. the onboard footage was music to my ears, takes me back to the times i used to go up and down the street hittin that 2 speed baby. it was crazy how many people had these back in the day. every tom dick and harry had one, even people that weren't into R/C had them. keep making nitro great again.

[@mikepevine3389]

I just got done a newer tmaxx 3.3, I cheated alittle and did get some replacement parts, but did clean alot also. Will be posting on the Facebook page soon thebfinal results 👌

[@rawrc]

Og tmaxx lives😂👍

[@6FStyleCo]

Thats dope. I used to have an hpi rs4 pro 2. It was fast af til i drove it on ice and burned out the speed control then i traded it for some video games 🤷🤷🤷

[@Rc-Mad-Ness]

Love my t-max pro15 . I just picked up T-T rb4 S2 with a hpi nitro star s-25 big block & it has a two speed diff also it rapid lol 💯👌🤙🇬🇧

[@hybrid32494]

Soubds like ur going to be yelling 2 speed baby soon bro!! Nice. Happy nitro saturday to you!!!

[@brandonblue9613]

Man a tmaxx is awesome period. Just some need a little extra love ❤

[@gingerman6560]

Don't stop now lets see a engine rebuild

[@Rc-Krazy]

New sub here bro. Put the bigger motor in it.

[@marknugent2574]

Looks like that engine needs a refreshening nitrogang, maybe you can do it on livestream. Lets make america Nitro again.

[@JeromeHawkins-d8o]

Sickening liken test hit.

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

Time for a new motor now

[@hybrid32494]

yes bro! likely with just get a cheap rebuild kit for it , they only run about 37 bucks! NitroGang!!

For some reason a 2.5r goes really well in an early .15

thanks brother!! Just out here trying to make Nitro Great again!!

[@zosozoso2]

@@hybrid32494 You're doing great job, epic! Just got myself 2.5 T Maxx + wicked Losi LST!!

[@adudesperspective]

Loosen the spur gear nut a bit and the jumping will go away. It’s likely torqued down, makes for great acceleration but terrible jumping off the line.

[@joedipietro2559]

Love the joke about the Mustang transmission and also smelling of pot 🤣😱👌

[@hybrid32494]

ahaha, thanks my dude! You know, just trying to speak the truth as it happens, and let me tell you, that mustang was full of POT!! who knows bout the tranny issues, but im sure it's full of those also .

[@joedipietro2559]

@hybrid32494 that's even funnier than it smelling like pot, like maybe Cheech and Chong are back on the road who knows? But with all the strange LGBTQI freaks around these days it could be full of trannies too🤣🤣🤣

[@kanenstuff]

Try the apple cider vinegar for that spur gear. It brought a lot of my Hobao Nitro Hyper SS looks new. I can buy new parts here, and I did for some parts like CV and fuel tank, but for screws I cleaned them, unless they were damaged.

[@robinilsa2057]

Use a JX Servo as these are cheap and give lots of power, Kevin Talbot recommended it…

[@robinilsa2057]

Maybe use a dumborc remote control as that has more range and cheaper too… Better than any remote controller brand as radiolink has been associated making dumborc.

[@hybrid32494]

hey my dude!! thanks for checking out this video, I use mostly the flysky GT5 radio, its reliable, easy to use and has cheap receivers.

[@hybrid32494]

I just looked up JX servos, they are just generic amazon style 20KG servos. Yes, they are all good, but not any better or worse than any other 20KG rated style servo, you know. Thing is on old trucks you really don't need crazy torque servos, they will rip the linkages apart, you need something that is good enough for the job, not overkill.

[@nomusicrc]

I cant believe it runs at all I say run it till it wont start

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

If the compression goes out. Bye bye motor

[@eyeintheskiesdavid9277]

Yeah I picked up one of those from a fella brand new with no starter for 200 euro do you think I got a good deal

[@joesshop3622]

Wanna laugh? I love testing EVERYTHING, so I installed a new motor in a Tmax like yours and ONLY STARTED IT AFTER IT WAS AT 240° using a hairdryer. This wont let your motor sacrifice itself each time it warms up due to the ABC design & pinch fit piston. I completely burned out a rear diff, turned the bearings to dust and the motor is still like new after DOZENS of GALLONS! Compression up the butt STILL!! Yes you heard me right but you need to also keep running it in a sweet spot in ambient outdoor temps too. No running when its 60° when your testing and set the test up for only a 10° variant! 1st thing you don't do, is use their shit TRAXXAS fuel it has way to little oil! I tried it in a pinch and took out a motor in 1 effing gallon. My best motor longevity so far is 50 + GALLONS before the motor was to tired to run reliably. This is also indicative of a perfect tune and never exceeding 240° ever. I used Blue Thunder Sport Formula and it was the best nitro I ever used in any of the 25 trucks over 20 plus years. Treat your motors like gold and they can last a damn long time if you keep things clean to help keep temps down. It's all about temp and tune and fuel.

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

Just swap out a new pro 15 engine I found it on eBay for cheap. $95.00

Its so funny everytime in the past when my Nitros would shift in second gear i would always get happy and more or less have a out burst of 2nd gear baby lol way funny

[@johngantner9314]

Flannel is good. Chinese Food! Say is that a 2.5 or 3.3

[@hybrid32494]

hey man! Flannel gang for sure!! So this is an even older model, it's neither the 2.5 or the 3.3. Before those came out there was a PRO15 model with a .15 side exhaust engine, like the one in this truck. It was also significantly narrower and slower as you could see, lol. Still can't kill it tho.

[@darrincelendano2676]

Yesss, definitely celebrating the election results!!!!

[@kirbyvanduzer6565]

I had a t maxx a lot of plastic parts on it it flooded all the time the electric start was crap it’s better to get pull start the t maxx I had was absolute junk the one before the model I had was better but I didn’t like all the plastic parts on the one I had the old one had steel drive shafts the one I had was plastic electric start was an ok idea but stick with pull start because it’s proven you don’t have to charge a battery just to start it the whole reason people buy nitro rc cars and trucks is so you don’t have to charge batteries
