Broken T-Maxx

[dpwats12]

same a arm i broke servo,shocks and arms then i went rpm.always go rpm it cost more but they are good for life if they break or wear out send it to them they will replace it.

[censored97]

hey bro, my uncle just gave me one of those t-maxx but idk anything about it. hmu because you look like you know alot about this stuff

[01pilkington]

Dude I feel your pain, I did the same but you got out way better than me. Had to rebuild trans, rebuild mr8 shocks, replace wheels, replace arms and bulk heads, replace bent chassis,spur gear, battery box, gas tank.... and the list goes on. Think I was at around $300 before I was done. You are quite lucky!!!

[bjornke123456789]

only 22 bucks in my shop is it for that about 50 bucks

[traxxas525]

@bjornke123456789 all i really had to buy was bulkheads and shocks(i think, this was YEARS ago).. had an extra servo and a arms.

[savageracing101]

yeah but tmaxx's in genral barly go 30-35 on a good day when there lean out to crap but yeah it still does a lot of damage

[traxxas525]

@savageracing101 agreed, i know that now. this was pretty much right when i got into rc. now i know A LOT more..lol

[TheInchhigh01]

[alexroach85]

[rockomaniac1]

[ironboard6]

[78910na]

omg the exact thing happened to me today and in the same spot and same damages but i already ordered the new parts since i upgraded all y arms to rd logics and had to buy new suspension kit cause the old suspensions got bent and everything for 150$

[biggdaddy2001]

aaa not that bad i had way worse brakerage on my maxx try hitting a metal cloths line pole at full throttle i broke the total front end including the diff case and diff it self and all the suspension parts in cluding the shocks

[Browndemolitia]

[chrijens]

HAHA well done! I have the same truck and just replaced the front bulkheads and skid plate when I jumped it and came down on the front end.Did I say its about 20 degrees here? tough truck though

[plaxico666]

[hedintheclouds62]

[traxxas525]

lets all take a moment of silence for the poor Revo.

[koolkat2417]

ps: i hit a stop sign lol

[Mikeinator12]

Well that stinks...

[caison123123]

that sux but you know its a commitment to the hobby

[dragracer3]

thats pretty much what happens when I go off a lump with the new T-MAXX 3.3 and its 2 weeks old.

[cantspelljumbo]

thats gonna leave a mark lol

[Blakeasaurus2789]

At least you still have one good front side.

[RAVAGERrules]

You got away pretty good on that deal. Hey, it could have been worse

[JohnvilleQC]

Mine had an extreme 40mph crash on a sidewalk after a loss of control. Result: broken arms, broken bulkheads(both front), broken shock, broken skid plate, extremly bent arm hinge pin and all screws in this area bent. Cool! My bumper ddoesn't have any scrape!

[pad105]

All Metanol sucks .... Guys just learn off the big guys ... buy a 1/5 or 1/6 scale you can drive like hell and not so "many" crashes.......

[icucoming]

well sucks that its broken, but its a hobby, well to most it is, so grab ur wallet and head down to your local hobby store and get some parts, and do some wrenchin

[tmaxxkid6425]

screw revo's they suckk get a nother tmaxx

[s401081]

@tmaxxkid6425 that is t-maxx

[burtonsnowboards506]

get a revo 3.3 its way better than a stupid t maxx

[plyxrs]

tmaxx last longer jack ass

[GOGOTRON50]

Revo is faster but I have alot of off roading in my area so I need the clearance if I was in a parking lot all the time REVO all the way but I am tmaxx

[tonyhawk444]

sucks monkey for u and me just riped the front end of my t-maxx and my jato pipe is cracked

[bmx5566]

is that the classic with a 3.3!

Nice vid, respond please!

[traxxas525]

yea, tmaxx 2.5 with a 3.3...but in that vid i had my 2.5R in it...

[bmx5566]

why would you switch between? Isn't the 3.3 wheely popping performance?

[traxxas525]

it started as a tmaxx 2.5, the cooling head broke so i got the 2.5r head. then the 2.5r died(right after i made this video). so i got a 3.3(which is in my maxx now). and the 3.3 makes my t-maxx a wheelie monster!

[bmx5566]

Ok, nice 2007 classic. mines a 1999 Tmaxx upgraded to 2.5, it had the pro 15. Not enough power though...

[H100A]

did you trade in the old motors or sell them on ebay?

[traxxas525]

i kept the 2.5 and rebuilt it. then i got the 3.3, so now i have 2 engines.

[freakboy100101]

any one know what is wrong with mine when i put the ez start in tne motor led lights up but the glow plug doesnt is even does it when its not in my truck an when i tryed starting it the motor did not even attempt to turn over

[PTHcrf]

could be u need a new glow plug.

or ur battery in ur ez start is dead.

[freakboy100101]

k i fixed it the glow plug was fouled up and this part in the engine broke in half so thats why it was not turning over

[PTHcrf]

thats expensive

doesnt a new piston n sleeve cost 50 bucks?

[freakboy100101]

its not a piston sleve its the part that gets turned buy the ez stert motor

[PTHcrf]

the crank arm?

[freakboy100101]

no the starter shaft

[wolf133]

dude my t-maxx was broken in half its cworser than that

[superstocktx]

my friend went all aluminum on his t-maxx and i mean all aluminum(even diff housings) except the plastic drive shafts(you need something to give right??). its a tough as nails but weighs in 2 pounds over stock.

[Roserules33]

lol ive had some goddamn horrible crashes, i burnt many a holes in my pockett when i drove my Tmaxx 2.5. It seriosly cost at least about 25$ everytime i took it out. Its all the physics, wen you get something going about 45 mph all it takes is a slight miscalculation

[crazycrazyjake99]

i got 2.2 botty but 3.3 engine i killed the 2.2 :) lol

[johnorocks]

omg that thing is so dirty every time i run mine i clean it like its new

[30GB]

i know me too if i see sand or dirt i can not risist to clean it (have to clean) in my mind all the time lol

[johnorocks]

yea same peaple even ask me have u ever run it and im like yea i run it all the time

[waackomann]

ha ha same when i took my to the hobby shop to get it tuned nicely they asked if i had even broke it in lol... and yeah i always clean mine and mine is onroad :P

[6650roger]

LOL my hobby shop said wow id be happy to work on it. I keep it so clean they ask me if i even drive it.

[savageracing101]

@30GB speaking of that i ran mine through a half of a foot deep mud pudle i literly have everything off of it it right now cleaning it i will have a vid up about that

[traxxas525]

yea i cleaned it after i took the picture, i had just taken it out of my car...

[PTHcrf]

mines a dirty little revo 3.3

[wiibert]

poor t-maxx :( whoever said to get aluminum on page 2 is a dumb frigging retard!

[RicoMan1992]

Ohhhhh the Carnage! That is what mine looked liked after hitting a stop sign at top speed, broke chassis, arms, servo, bulkhead, shock tower, and snapped driveshaft, sorry to see it happen to you!

[RhinoRacing25]

That should buff out!!!

[traxxas525]

yea i had to use a freakin floor buffer

[elvemageownz123]

I always love to see a broken Traxxas.

[sk8sforbdsk]

hell yea i have aluminum parts too

[krassakinns]

THATS PLASTIC FOR YA get alumium would have saved your new servo

[traxxas525]

yea but aluminum arms would've bent and those arent very cheap!

[traxxas0]

it just needs a good washing and a few new parts

[traxxas525]

it got both of those

[chindog1]

unlucky m8 i broke my suspension wen i rode into a curb at about 30

[65mechanic]

I broke the same parts on mine going about 30 mph and I hit a telephone pole.

[rcbasher666]

good excuse to buy a savage.

[traxxas525]

HA ur kidding right! i race, and savages SUCK for racing. if i didnt race then it might have been a different story...

[Jonnyb95]

that looks like my dad truck when he hit a mailbox on a steel pole at full speed

[aligatordriver]

time to..fix

[kiernan8666]

Thats sucks

[teamyamaha804]

that aint shit i hit a pole with mine goin 15 at the most and ripd tho whole front end off

[branchambers]

the savage needed a new chassis set up, engine minus glow plug (traxxas glow plug) full set of a arms 4 bulk heads difs gear box case and 4 drive shafts

lol keep as far away from savages as posible

[branchambers]

good one as a bit of a consterlasion if it where a savage you would need a new car

lol

stick with it thoe its worth it,

my engins hanging of dislocated bulk head and smashed up shell towers,

head on colision with savage x ss it needes complete re build

almost every thing lol go t-maxx

[6650roger]

ive gone through 3 50 dollar servos. It sucks. very nice high torque steel hitec servos to

[traxxas525]

[sexybackrevo]

[zinkerreid]

[cycle2deth]
