[@Rideredder]

I'm building my T-Maxx .15 as we speak. Had it for a while and figured while it's getting colder why not tear it apart and clean it. Also it never had a front differential so I was running it as a 2 wheel drive. It runs pretty good but the only problem is starting it. I have to prime the carb by blowing into the exhaust hose to get the fuel to the carb. I'll be watching more of your videos as I go along with the build. Great information!

[@iloverc]

I am soooo impressive by all your knowledge and how you got all put it together!! nice job and really good car! I just fixed my mini e-revo and it is showtime for me too :) Great job on Video and nice car!

[@motomex79]

The t maxx has a reverse function in the transmission.

[@fmarsalajr]

Had a good laugh watching Tony LOL . . . that little bug moves!!!!!!!!

[@lockjaw423]

Mine sat on a shelf for 20 plus years cleaned it up and it runs like it did when it was new wow cool man Nice

[@RcHelpDotCom]

That is awesome.

[@roadrunnerorange]

everyone says go for the 2.5 or 3.3, the .15 pro is an exellent motor when cared for. its the ONLY traxxas motor that will hold a tune for a long time, easy to tune, and hold compression for several gallons.....

[@guerrad10dg]

Thanks how much does a clutch cost

[@rcsubject9844]

[@Joe_Costanzo]

Nice job, Tony!

[@dustinmay2290]

How do you get it into reverse

[@youtubeguy3544]

Wow my uncle has one and it has broken for 4 years and he won't fix it I'm showing this to him to show how cool these are

[@youtubeguy3544]

Your not going to believe this he just gave it to me I know nothing about nitros but I'm taking it to hobbytown because he said it would be easy to have fixed

[@youtubeguy3544]

RcHelpDotCom I might wait but I'm only 12yrs old and literally know nothing about gas engines

[@nickwoodruff3321]

JP RC Don't worry. I promise these nitro engines are much more simple than they seem. There are plenty of good nitro engine rebuild, break-in, and tuning videos here on KZbin that go through the process thoroughly. If you need more direct help there are always rc forums that have nitro specific threads and knowledgable individuals that are willing to answer any questions you may have.

[@therccelebrityspeedfresh5393]

my slipper clutch did the same thing and it didn't go no where it was completely lose. but i fix it

[@RcHelpDotCom]

Yea, I had mine set way too loose. I should be coming out with some new T-Maxx videos here soon, and slipper adjustment, the way I do it, will also be in that series. Thanks for the comment. www.Rc-Help.com

[@guerrad10dg]

Hay do you know why tmaxx won, t shift please answer

[@elnine2721]

Devin Guerra im 4 years late but your idle screw is to high, lower that idle speed!

[@simpsonwright]

My t maxx starts up but will not move I change the slipper still will not move can u help

[@nefariouspreludev2.046]

Sims 313 get a new one

[@paulc8581]

I just got one and been running it broke the right lower fixed it an it pulls to the left what did I do wrong

[@RcHelpDotCom]

There are a number of things that you could have missed. The first thing to come to mind is you didn't put the pin behind the hex that holds the wheel. If you take off the wheel, there should be a pin behind the hex adapter that goes through the driveshaft. If that is not the issue, then look at over tightening the wheels onto the truck. This can cause binding which will lead to pulling issues. Hope this helps.

[@paulc8581]

@@RcHelpDotCom thanks for the info . I think I didn't screw the Allen screws in all the way .

[@RcHelpDotCom]

As long as you found the issue, that is all that matters. But I'm curious, what Allen screw? The only ones that I can think of are all pin grub screws so even if they are not in all the way, the pin should still lock it in. Just curious.

[@paulc8581]

@@RcHelpDotCom the Allen screw inside the wheel that screws in the control arm. But I wrecked it hard the other day and broke the motor . Have a car but don't know the name of it . I'll tell you it's alittle fast sob . Gonna put a video of it up on here shortly

[@shawnpeeples9411]

What glow plug did you get

[@nickwoodruff3321]

This makes me want to revive my old jato. Nice vid!

[@mrsideways4574]

Nick Woodruff do it why not

[@rcmodder64]

what are the settings you have got???

[@nefariouspreludev2.046]

rcmodder64 this question doesn’t even make sense

[@davindraking3117]

what setting did u have on the carb and spur gear

[@951phantom]

I just bought a used Tmaxx 2.5 and it doesn't shift into second gear... I've held the truck up and doesn't shift any idea of what it could be?? Thanks in advance! Love the videos!

[@nefariouspreludev2.046]

Phantom_951 some only have 1 gear depending on the model and you bought used so who knows

[@iloverc]

will do!

[@kr3wchi3f]

What kind of fuel do you use?

[@elnine2721]

Might not have a good tune then! My tmaxx 2.5 idles thru a whole tank and wont die. 3 and a half gallons thru this engine

[@nefariouspreludev2.046]

Logan Miller yeah and I bet it’s slow as f

[@jrb8081]

Sounds good That is a nice RC Tuck it might be kid proof my grandson breaks all his Cheap RC Trucks

[@markhoskins662]

How much do you want for it

[@RcHelpDotCom]

I sold this truck years ago Mark. Thanks for asking though. www.Rc-Help.com

[@TylorSwain12]

[@nefariouspreludev2.046]

[@amanwithnoname6948]

[@markhoskins662]
