nitro will never die.

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

I love nitro, electric you name it, if it has a transmitter I'm excited but there's just something special about a real motor.

[@zdgaming7984]

Yeah. I have two Traxxas electric models, and want to get into nitro. Sounds like a lot of fun!

[@grandmasteryoda8588]

Hey just a question would the Traxxas T maxx 3.3 be good for a first time nitro car and would it be durable

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

@@grandmasteryoda8588 I've had two T-Maxx Classics two T-maxx 3.3's and a Revo, my experience with the 3.3 engine's has been very good. The 3.3's were easier to break in and tune then the 2.5's and they run great. I'm by no means an expert on nitro but I do love to run them.

[@grandmasteryoda8588]

@@Livlifetaistdeth thanks bro I am leaning towards buying a T maxx 3.3 I was gonna buy the Kyosho USA-1 but a lot of people said it’s the same as the foxx so I now am wanting a T maxx

[@Livlifetaistdeth]

@@grandmasteryoda8588 Anytime, if it helps, but it probably won't, I also have a Kyosho FW06. I have electric cars that'll do 100+mph but when that little Kyosho hits second gear it is an absolute riot! Sorry that probably doesn't help but Kyosho also makes great stuff. The real upside to a Traxxas is parts are everywhere. When I was learning I broke just about everything, wish that was a joke, but that's one of the reasons I ended up with two of the 2.5's and 3.3's haha. Good luck!

[@JamesRussoJr]

and the nitro rustler the bomb.

[@charlespennington444]

t maxx 3.3 number one.

[@zackjay71]

You should heat the motor up prior to starting. That being said. This is not how you break in this way. You should let run on the stand. For a couple tanks. And then run it on smooth ground not grass. Never letting it run out of fuel.

[@charlespennington444]

[@OvalRC]

nitro is popular with our RC Mud Bog spectators

[@brutallyaverage8293]

Right? The 2.5 tmaxx was my first hobby grade nitro and it left such a bad taste in my mouth I almost left the hobby until I got the losi lst back in the day. Hope they fixed alot of the issues I had in the 10+ years. Thing was made out of glass and wouldn't hold a tune lol. I swore I wouldn't buy another traxxas product after the t-maxx but here I am with an xmaxx, erevo 2.0 and summit. Glad they stepped up their durability and reliability.

[@brutallyaverage8293]

@@ZarBinTar honestly it's been over a decade. Just remembered that the engine would never hold a tune and every tumble something broke. That all disappeared when I got my losi lst2 back in the day.

[@zdgaming7984]

The only Traxxas brand R/C cars I have are electric. My friend has a Nitro Rustler that he converted to 3.3 instead of 2.5, and it makes me want the T-Maxx very much. The only bad thing of course is the break-in time. Other than that it is an awesome truck. (Plus the two-gear auto transmission is awesome.

[@jamesrusso116]

t maxx 3.3 rocks.

[@keithphillips1234]

Awesome video. Just picked up the exact same one today. They didn’t and don’t carry traxxas fuel so they convinced me to get the vp racing Breakin blend and then a quart of vp racing 20/14 blend. Anyhow. Weather isn’t permitting to run it right now. Been down this road 17 years back and loved it when it ran but hated it when it didn’t. Maybe now I have a better understanding and will have better success. My question is, what tweaking did you do after you broke it in and which needles did you adjust on? I know there’s no set it and forget it. How nice that would be. But I will run towards the rich side just to be safe till I get it down. Anyhow any advice would be very helpful. Thanks.

[@Kevin_Yagoonie]

RC Superstore has them in stock. I just ordered one yesterday

[@phambo1012]

Aren't you gonna tell the audience that the built-in glow driver in the starter motor doesn't work very well and that they need to get a separate glow plug driver? Other than that, that T-MAXX and the REVO are killers!

[@charlesdipanni3725]

Better gets skid plates and a roll cage

[@bc6967]

Hello thanks for video you said you had to adjust your clutch because of slipping mine was fine until the 6th tank mid tank and then the engine revs but car is going slower than it should could that be my problem? I broke mine in the same way you just did but in a school parking lot. Any help is greatly appreciated thank you

[@OvalRC]

after a few tanks I had to adjust the clutch. You can adjust when the 2nd gear kicks in.. or make it so 2nd gear never kicks in. It's a fine adjustment so give it a try

[@JamesRussoJr]

I hate the revo 3.3 so so so much.

[@bubblesrcshed]

I’m looking too get into my first Nitro but dang Traxxas is very expensive in Canada. So I have too ask how reliable is this truck and how fast once broken in ? Needs too be tuff and quick for me. Thanks 🙏 great video I really enjoyed it 👍

[@MauserGT]

T-Maxx and E-Maxx lineup is notoriously fragile (bulkheads and shock towers), so if you want a tough nitro I would consider the Revo 3.3.

[@bubblesrcshed]

@@MauserGT I can’t stand cantilever suspension so I’ll just upgrade the shock towers, don’t think I’d be bashing it too hard

[@MauserGT]

@@bubblesrcshed I have both trucks and the Revo handles better. I thankfully haven't had any breakages on either, but I do drive them fairly tame. The T-Maxx is a much older platform and it shows. The fuel tank, servo layout, and the receiver box all feel noticeably older. I felt like the biggest upgrades in the Revo were the servo guards underneath and the lack of the super long linkages for the throttle servo. The fuel tank is also a lot easier to acess on the Revo. I do like the way the T-Maxx looks way more though

[@bubblesrcshed]

@@MauserGT I want a Tmaxx 3.3 as I love monster trucks and I’d like a Slash too. But all dreams right now for me times are tuff so no fun bucks

[@JamesRussoJr]

revo 3.3 not a good truck it a this is bad.

Make sure the slipper clutch is tight When breaking mine in and in the middle of tank 4 they disintegrate & the engine went super high revs. Traxxas sent me for free replacement parts, but be careful. Even the Tech on the phone said it happened to his new Tmaxx & Revo

Is it pretty self explanatory the break in methods? And what about adjusting clutch and any other adjustments.? Can I do that myself or would I need to take it it for someone to tune it for me

[@melancholymartialarts7095]

Just do your research. There are proper ways to break in and improper. Do some searching there are videos with proper break in. As far as tuning, you can absolutely do it. All it requires is a flat head. You just need to learn which needle does what, and small SMALl increments

Love the Box Art of all Traxxas Models

[@Jasonkartracing]

I have three Tmaxx’s two are the 3.3 and one 2.5. If someone is looking to buy one I would definitely get the 3.3. They are a hundred bucks more but you get a better motor, transmission, servo, brakes, driveshafts, radio, longer chassis and wider better tires and handles better. If you’re on a budget the 2.5 is good but you get a lot more for the money. I would also recommend ditching the AA batteries on board and get a 2s lipo you can run all day and not worry about the AA batteries going dead. I would also stay away from aluminum parts unless it’s a shelf queen go with RPM parts. I run RPM bulk heads but stock a arms cause if I wreck that’s what I want to break first. Also people say the parts are interchangeable and not all are. The 3.3 transmission will bolt in a 2.5 chassis but you have to cut the front center driveshaft and grind away some of the chassis cause the driveshaft is to big around. The 2.5 transmission will bolt in the 3.3 chassis but the front center driveshaft is to short. Also the gearing ratio in the trans are different. The 3.3 has a taller second gear and you can’t run the 58t spur gear on a 2.5 trans unless you get a bigger clutch bell and if you’re running a 2.5 or 3.3 the gearing will be to tall. If you go with the 2.5 ditch the reverse if you can live with out it and do the 3.3 slipper clutch upgrade or better yet get a 3.3 and don’t do Traxxas break in watch Adam Drakes break in video.
