Traxxas T-Maxx Nitro Truck - TRX 2.5 Engine Break in

It has been a long time since I owned my last Traxxas T-Maxx. Getting back into Nitro RC recently has sparked my interest and passion for the 2.5 T-Maxx classic.

Your horses are quite chill with all that noise! Impressive.

The classic t maxx is the only monster truck left with reverse. They decided to disable reverse on the newer models but they're still making the classic t-maxx

[@michaelgraham2943]

Man i just bought this same truck and seeing what is needed to be done to break in engine and how many tanks are required!!!! Smh should've just got that new team corally punisher!!! Would've been instantaneous fun and no break in procedures other than your trigger finger !!! Not sure how this gonna work i really dont think i got enough patience for all the required procedures!!!! I just being honest especially seeing it, but what's weird is when i first started my which was few hours ago (got the truck today) it was reving twice as much as yours and was really wanting to take off had to squeeze fuel hose to shut off ! Not sure why this is know that i see how its should've sounded when started 😕

[@theRCelement]

Yeah, electric vehicles are super easy compared to nitro. Nitro isn’t for everyone. They do take much more time and patience. If yours wants to pull forward on ya during break in. Just lower the idle a bit with the idle screw

[@gabspen4823]

Love your t max

[@gabspen4823]

Nothing like ole school and the smell of 30 percent nitrous

[@jessicabrockleman3079]

Ours is brand new and not running fine like yours. Idle is way high and it wants to run away on us. Did you adjust anything before you started it in this video?

[@theRCelement]

Yeah the engine comes set very rich from the factory for the break in process. Did you watch this Traxxas video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4GbZomVhrCWfNEsi=njp58fSmgoo-tIIn

[@theRCelement]

No, I didn’t adjust anything. But you might have to make small adjustments to the idle screw of it keeps cutting off on you during the break in

[@MrErikw26]

Engine break in should be done on flat smooth asphalt to minimize any strain on the engine as it breaks in....

[@K2capistrano]

Can you help me bud so my Traxxx T-Max 3.3 it’s starts good. When I press it to give it GAS IT WONT GO ? Do you know if it’s a transmission problem??

[@ReaperHallows]

Did you run an engine break in process?

[@Matthew_Does_To_Many_Things]

Did the throttle linkage disconnect?

[@RFVCXR200R]

I think you should ride that 1985 RFVC XR200R lol

[@theRCelement]

Still have that beast. I also have a xr600r

[@theRCelement]

I need rings for my 85 xr200r. Can’t find them anywhere

[@RFVCXR200R]

@@theRCelement dude that sucks! The 200 is a light flickable joy to ride

[@theRCelement]

@@RFVCXR200R They are amazing bikes for sure

[@calvinreynolds606]

This is sick bro nice RC CAR

[@ParticipationTrofee]

That thing never shifted to 2nd at all.

[@gabspen4823]

Your idle is way too high it should be moving at that speed although I have the exact t Max I put the 2.5r and love it

[@arturos.l.2248]

The idle comes really high from the factory because they always have trouble idling especially in cooler climates

[@jamierusso5730]

nitro be out ever.
