New 2008 Traxxas T-Maxx 3.3 First Look 4908

[redneckalex08]

Nice 3.3 dude my friend has the same one. I'm working on an old 2.5 that I just got a new dynamite .19t Mach 2 engine for, buying a new THS Racing pipe and header for it as well as new fuel line, air filter and pull start, cause my EZ-start motor won't let the throttle open fully. (not enough room)

[duffin208]

Smile Empty Soul :)

[muffinmonster14]

which is better for a begginer to nitro the new or the old

[scbjgs]

[gunnerboy207]

Nice video I usually get rc's from tower hobbies or Larry's peforemence rc

[TheRcworld101]

[TheRcworld101]

[wrestlemaniac202]

I have to old 1st generation 2.5r t-maxx and one guy on rcuniverse said the same thing

[monster231]

i hve a tmaxx my self and i think its alot better then the revo 3.3.

[101quadrider]

i want to get the revo 5309

[BoboVids]

so are you the king of go carts?

[jeremyjames83]

hi gokartking45, i have a question about the t maxx 3.3...i purchased a 4907 does this come with the opti drive like you were taking about allso what was the diff in the batteries? are there any tips u have for mandatory upgrades for this truck.. love your vids too man..

[jessiejames2012]

the 4909 t maxx is like the same sept the fuckin extended chassis

[ordy101]

ummmm the pipe is smaller because they made it so the engine will last long or something. if you get a drill and set the depth u want to drill and make it stop in time u can drill it out and retune it... im ganna do that and it makes it alot louder

[killalot4]

what do you think i should get t-maxx 3.3 or savage 4.6?

[MrJatoking]

does the t-maxx 4908 come with the rechargeable battaries for the servos and the starter ?

[whiteknuckles717]

What i did is i got the regular t maxx and upgraded it with t maxx 3.3 upgrades

[adb140275]

the hole is smaller so it's ROAR legal...

who's gonna race a t maxx, let alone one of THOSE pipes...

[jkkklll07]

man i had a nitro tc3 with 2.5 an also had nitro 3.3 an a nitro 2.8 all hot rod up but to be honest with u. the nitro tc3 out ran all of them my pops got mad and ran over my tc3. cause i out ran him but now in the market to buy one. dont know what to get now I have a big long yard to run in so what is the fastest nitro they make hit me back an let me know plz ps what kind of kating u race

[voxmagna2]

what is the difference between the t-maxx3.3 and revo3.3

[derbychance]

nice t maxx dude!

[jgordon1453]

Can u still get the old version of the t maxx3.3 and were? Thanks

[NITROrcKing007]

I think your better off putting in the 3.3 motor in the 2.5.

[qball0529]

i had a tmaxx with a 2.5 in it and then i changed it to a 3.3 and now i have to graduly go to full throttle if i dont it will die?

[123p90]

cool car

[dgenerationx767]

just put all that stuff in it thats what i did, buy a reverse kit, its not hard to put in the fail safe is really easy to put in and buy a battery pack then ur good to go

[traxxasman4life2010]

can the wheels on the t-maxx turn without moving

[RClife24]

ok im just guessing...so guys please dont hate..

but i think they made the hole on the pipe smaller to help with back pressure...

cuz i heard that t-maxx has a lil bit of half- tank leaning problem.

but i dont no for sure...

[djhawk2530]

are you planning to sell any new 3.3 air filters???

[IbzSolja]

whats better t maxx 3.3 jato 3.3 or revo platinum??

[raulgogogo]

what is the size of the hex hub for the wheels? 14mm or 17mm or 24mm? im planning to buy em wheels for my savage

[SavageRC1]

they are 14mm

[erevofreak96]

i luv ur vids dude!

[viss3n]

so it got no reverse damm

what traxxas car has got a reverse and a 2 speed gear box under 600 euro?

[moxlotus08]

@viss3n the tmaxx 3.3 (4909) has reverse and has a rechargeable battery and it has optidrive

[TheYamahaarcticcat]

i think traxxas thought it thro that the smaller exaust did somthing so u just tune it and dont give a shit who cares

[TheBreez23]

just baught my first one and cant wait to break it in

[TheGreatIdeezy]

you could prob fix the pipe by dremeling it out

[wildcatperez]

with reverse makes it heavier=slower.

[WhatAreWeDoingForFun]

so its a beast, but idk the savage is cooler

[PainApple96]

umm

i got this one like 3 months ago

the best car ever

[GapedVigina]

i want one of these so bad

[cheesexxballs]

the reverse was a week link but i bought it anyway

[FastRCTeam]

is this t maxx the newest t maxx?

[09viper]

oh well i have a revo 3.3 and it doesnt need reverse.

[jeflagoon]

what will take a bigger shit kicking a

t maxx or a revo??

[RM250D8rzr]

t maxx is a little easer to work on. there bout the same strength.

[dragracingfan]

The Hole is Smaller For More Compression

[TeamTraxxas37614]

yea but less toq

[RM250D8rzr]

uh no more tourqe with more back pressure. less top end.

[adb140275]

you mean backpressure... and  its chambered so it doesnt matter

[TeamTraxxas37614]

if you ask me GGK traxxas is cutting back

[iamcyberpunk68]

some ass hole had traxxas send me the same t maxx as the one in yout vid here ,but red you would,nt have something to do with this would you????t

[TeamTraxxas37614]

not really since im with HPI

[iamcyberpunk68]

its about time chief.

[TeamTraxxas37614]

Yea traxxas sucks!! lol can you help me man I bought a savage xl wheelie bar and I cant get my shaft on my roto start in to start :/

[iamcyberpunk68]

you need the longer shaft ,theres a few different ones .

[TeamTraxxas37614]

I have the longest shaft for the roto start

[iamcyberpunk68]

hold on im going to go check mine ok.

[iamcyberpunk68]

dont put it through the center of the shock tower put it through the right hand side of the tower(inside of the tower hole).

[TeamTraxxas37614]

so start in on a angle isnt that bad

[iamcyberpunk68]

thats how i been doing it for the part year.

[TeamTraxxas37614]

ok its hitting the wheel I have the bigest one r u sure its ok to start it like that

[iamcyberpunk68]

ill go start mine again to double check also you can buy a lenght of allen rod and cut it to lengh if you want . give me a min bro.

[TeamTraxxas37614]

ok so I know what to do I did what you said and it works thanks mate im just going to do some bashing tommorw

[iamcyberpunk68]

have fun bro.

[RM250D8rzr]

uh nice user name! and they dont suck. there better in some aspects compared to the hpi stuff. and the hpi beaks just as much as the traxxas does! i have both and love both

[TheGreatIdeezy]

Just so ya know Traxxas DOES have a reverse kit

[GTAIV93]

whats the song in the backround at the start of ur vid gokart

[babyface50p]

i might get a revo next i dunno :|

[Kronix904]

Are these things expensive to maintain and use?

[TeamTraxxas37614]

yes

[xxsuperphintymexx]

i was wondering if i should upgrade my tmaxx 2.5 or go and buy a savage 4.6. i already have the maxx with a few hop ups but i want a savage but i dont feel like paying $450 for a new one and i dont want to buy a used one

[stellerrc]

See King even you think Traxxas does dumb things LOL!!! And they DO!!! On a regular basis. If you keep looking you will keep finding all the dumb things they do LOL!!! Why keep something that works!1 Isn't that their Motto? JK everybody before you all get hating on me for bashing Traxxas again LOL!! PEACE!!!

[nitrocrazy13]

do u play waw i jut subed but do u play cod waw let me no plez

[jkjk258]

did they come out with a 2009 T-Maxx and if they did does it have a reverse

[gokartking45]

nope, just a 2009 revo, which has reverse

[hasnachos]

im gonna buy a 3.3 engine to put in my tmaxx that originally came with the stock 2.5 engine. it only only cost $87.00 for the 3.3 engine kit cuz i am trading my 2.5 for 3.3 50% off. i been wondering, is the 3.3 more powerful or efficient by a longshot? maybe faster?

[gokartking45]

yea its way better, its not gonna be $87 though, more like $130 if your doing the traxxas erp

[hasnachos]

yes but with the engine exchange program i get 50% for the new engine cuz they can not take my engine block for free and have me pay full price of 134.99. half of that is about 67.00 not 80.00. my bad. any ways it pays to have someone elses opinion, so thanks.

[adb140275]

its half of msrp... which ends up being $110 after the discount

[TRTC360]

at my lhs if i trade in my 2.5 engine ill have to pay 115 for the 3.3 motor.

[johndeeereboy555]

i just bought a new traxxas tmaxx 3.3 and i love it its tough as hell and it goes like a bat outa hell

[DBTaby]

do you recomend taht car

i suscribe you :)

[traxxas91296]

the next t-maxx should have big bore shocks in them

[trxslashdriver]

that would make the price go ape shit

[traxxas91296]

i guess

[airsoftfreek69]

just buy a fat pack of batteries at costco and always have refills!

[driveitraceit]

They made one with reverse

[PMT133]

their shifting meathod of foward and reverse is horrible if the idle is too high it doesnt work too low it stalls so after a few months or so u walk to the hobbie shop and rebuild the trany.

[msngros]

thats shit

[msngros]

is the 2009 tmaxx 3.3 as the rechargable battery for the servos in it

[JungleFish]

no :(

[Brutalisk]

does the 4908 tmaxx have reverse button on the radio like the 4909 tmaxx

[JungleFish]

well, it has a button on the transmitter as all traxxas use the same one. but the 4809- doesn't have a reverse servo

[justro17]

if you race them cant go backwerds in a race learn to use it with out revers

[cheesewire101]

traxxas clearly sacrificed some stuff for more power "i can live with that"

[airsoftfreek69]

me too

just bought one $364 on ebay FREE SHIPPING!!!!!!!!!!! $364 is wut you pay!  :D

verryyyy excited its comming on aug,6

[cheesewire101]

i payed £315

[airsoftfreek69]

but like £ is differnt in us cuz i tried to buy something with it and i paid more than it said soo idk tho you could have just gotten a good deal :D

[manofiesta]

Smile Empty Soul?? good band

[trublu01]

the hole in the pipe is smaller 4 back pressure on that engine

[gokartking45]

yes but it is also more restrictive

[ieatcrete111]

you could probably drill the hole in the exhaust out a bit if you don't love the tighter hole

[NitroTrucksRule]

you can buy a reverse kit for like $50!! it is the exactly the same as what is in the 2.5.

[ChelsNichole94]

the reason the whole is smaller is so it gets more power.

[driveitraceit]

U can add reverse dude. The truck is awesome

[drtbker13]

i was wondering is it hard to tune a t maxx 3.3

[darthninja554]

you are stupid enjoy it wow its better then the original who gives a care if it Dose not have reverse its called turn it around when it is stuck i had a s maxx and i have no need for reverse i like the new t maxx

[spitfireMK22]

can you add reverse! and since this vid have they made a new tmaxx for 2009 cause i havnt seen a newer one.

[etzkorn13]

how do you hook up reverse for it

[RCBIKER123]

u can but u have to get a special wiring harness. I put an rx pack in mine.

[guitarplayer4395]

can you still put an r pack in it or not

[guitarplayer4395]

sorry rx pack

[12jacwoo]

Whats better a revo or a t-maxx, Email me with answer plzzzzz

[spitfireMK22]

it depends what your going to do. If your a fast racer get a revo but if your going to do some bashing and hardcore off road get a tmaxx! im getting tmaxx!:}}

[guitarplayer4395]

hey how long will a t maxx 3.3 go on one tank of gas

[gokartking45]

around 10-15 mins

[guitarplayer4395]

k thanks and how many tanks is a gallon

[gatocrib]

that is why it cost the same as the old one no reverse the save money on the servo and reverse gears on the trany

and opt drive.

[jrsmnb]

i want the new t maxx so bad but i gotta get the money witch is the sucky part lol

[surferKid41]

you shud put a video of your 4 tec on youtube

[mstreamer9991]

Smaller hole on the resonator is for more backpressure. I got mine in march, doesn't hold a candle to my revo. Still fun got a bug body on it plus a true track & pull start. Don't need reverse or any of that crap, just some wheels and tires that don't wobble so bad.

[jrsmnb]

how come u dont see this truck in anyother vids other than this

[gokartking45]

the truck i bash with is the older 3.3 (4909) i like it better because of the short wheelbase, easier wheelies, and flips. i ended up selling the one in the video

[RCBIKER123]

no because it would be hard to waterproof the air filter

[RCBIKER123]

the hole is smaller so you can prime it more easily

[Nitrorckid2]

The hole on the pipe is probally smaller for different sound.

[gokartking45]

its smaller to provide more back pressure for more fuel to get to the motor= runs a little richer

[WWWDanielWWW]

hi

is the 3.3 water proof?

[gokartking45]

nope you can waterproof the electronics on your own though, i dont think any nitro trucks are waterproof though

[WWWDanielWWW]

i think the revo is. and i thot teh classic wuz

thanks anyways

[gokartking45]

the e-revo and e-maxx are waterproof. none of traxxas nitro cars are waterproof though.

[Djhunter1310]

what is better

t-maxx 3.3 or Slayer?

[Smaxxfreak]

hay should i get the smaxx or tmaxx

[joeldude76]

i got the old one i think the old 1 if just as good the t maxxes are the best

[ColdCircleX]

you know whats funny inside my wheel its black inside but yours is white

[BigBuckMaddness81012]

can you tell me how to first start the t-maxx?

[samthefireman14]

hey do u no whats better a revo 3.3 or t maxx 3.3 and does the revo has reverse?

[78910na]

if i buy a hump pack seperatly will it work with my t-maxx

[timmins1994]

the hole is smaller to increase compression in the camber which will make the engine run fasterand pull more fuel througth the trucks engine

[TraxxaaaasssDriveerr]

everyone keeps bitching on this reverse issue..

They took it out cause the 4908 is a race ready truck

And in most brackets you can not run with reverse

And the hole in the pipe is smaller so it gives more back pressure in to motor with runs better compression

!

[ColdCircleX]

thank you so much my god no one gets it

[gokartking45]

yes i know about the reverse thing for racing. But really, Who would chose a t-maxx to race with?

If they were serious about racing they would get a revo. Traxxas should of left the t-maxx as a strict basher. Just my 2 cents

[ColdCircleX]

yeah i think they should have left the hump and failsafe like you said but reverse was took out cause it it killed the tranny so. Im guess people kept bitching cause their tmaxx gear box not working. I think it will be on the next tmaxx once things get cheaper and stronger

[yabberman1361]

TRAXXAS IS SHIT

[king14rk]

i like both but they should have made the old er 3.3 with the big nasty rimes and tries... i still like mine though. i also added a resonator pipe for mine.

[TraxxasDrivers]

yea that is stupid that they got rid of so much i dont think that any nitro truck now from traxxas has reverse like the revo doesnt the new one atleast. i have the smaxx and they dont really change it up alot but it is just like plain like 2.5 and just no reverse and so ya i think that traxxas has messed up little lately on what they r doing...... peace out

[gmodesike]

hey.. i noticed you are on xbox live...soldier of fortune 3, payback, is awesome on live...it's truly a great death match..to me, better than cod 4. do you play soldier of fortune 3 on live?

[gokartking45]

no i really only play cod 4 and waw on live

[gmodesike]

wow..the previous version has reverse correct?

[gifts216]

do they put the opti drive on it!!!

[rcfreak360]

dude! you can't always get what you want in a RC models I don't know what it is but there is a reason for that matter so get over it.......

[lulu1394]

omg dude! i just messed up my tranny today on my 4908 =[ i was freakin out it sux it wont roll at all on the floor but in the air it will =/

[Blak3izPro]

i didn't ever check out the older 3.3 models. when i bought my 4908 model the old model wasn't available for purchase anymore.

[Blak3izPro]

u sold it? NOOOOOO!!!! lol.

[Blak3izPro]

sweet man.. i just got mines about 4 weeks ago and im new to the hobby. check out my vid!

[rebelient]

thats a 2.5 with a 3.3 engine

[gokartking45]

yea my old t-maxx was, i got the 3.3 on it and driveline, and tranny, is upgraded so its identical to a 4909 3.3 t-maxx

[matthew5484]

The lack of a rechargable battery pacl is by far the worst downgrade, i guess they want extra cash from people crashing they due to battery failiure using the retarded AAs, good for torches crap for cars.

[RayRySa]

What is every item you need to run a model 4908(the one in the vid) to turn it on and drive?

[omega514]

i got the 3.3 and the first thing went out was the 14mm nylon hex hub which striped out my tire.. in the first hour after brack in.. but its fast.. not as fast as my mammoth but its out of order as off late.

[brandonbutler9000]

yo nice t-maxx 4909 3.3 they dont have all the good shit on it like the old ones only the pipe is the best thing on that best i have a t-maxx 3.3 4908 it is the best thing ever made it is a tuff fucker. yo race time.

[SPLcamry]

you said the battery pack was dumb. well your dumb if you bought it then

[gokartking45]

the AA battery pack was dumb.. its a downgrade from their last model.. which does not make sense.

[tmaxx3314]

the hole isnt smaller u just zoomed in duh and ur dumb

[gokartking45]

um no the hole is smaller... i have both trucks sitting next to each other and there is a big difference.

[guitarplayer4395]

if you buy a battery pack which one do you get and where do you put it on the new t maxx

[monsterjamfan1]

hey the body in the backround is the same one that came on my stampede what is up with that?

[dice142803]

Hey I think having batteries can be a downer..but in my opinion reverse would suck if it broke your tmaxx and screw ur whole trans right?

[trx1961]

Why buy the "latest" craze??

I have a gen 1 t-maxx. Runs fine with the stock pro 15 in it. Need to add a TRS tho. Other then that its almost alll stock.

hop ups are: different chassis, thats all.

[DaHulkInPurplez]

Does it come stock with a resonator pipe now?

[RCManQC]

Hehe nice video , i just ordered one of these for my friend on ebay , i cant wait to see the brand new product :))

I just read all the 166 comments , pretty funny to see how ppl is bitchy.

But on my side i have 2 t-maxx one with reverse and another without , and i can say by now i dont really care about reverse,i use it rarely and its not always working ok.

Cant wait for the summer for some cool bashing ;))

Keep Going ;)

[gokartking45]

I cant add anymore ppl you guys. i get at least 3 friend requests a day and i only have like 5 spaces left that i need to keep free for friends.

[Brewtus259]

What is the difference between the T-Maxx 3.3 4908 and 4909

[72347202]

u r a loser just shut up and there is know reverse for race ready cause ur not aloud to use reverse in races

[moe4show9]

do you know who kaytlyn fauci

[nirojasi]

Need help

New T-MAXX 3.3 Or old T-MAXX 3.3 (with Reverse)

Which one best ?

[Brewtus259]

Old one same motor and you get more out of it.

I have one I put a sirio motor and pipe in it and it rips.
