Tmaxx 2.5

[Bacon676]

I have the old first generation TMaxx.

Do the new ones fix that old tranny 'chucking' problem it had? It had problems transferring power to the wheels smoothly with the old 2.2 engine. I have no idea how well the new engines run, but I remember mine was TEMPERAMENTAL as hell.

[tacotim1000]

have you had any transmission or engine problems with that car since you bought it

[fuckingsob]

To some of the commenters, The blue wire is traxxas biggest fail. Great concept, but it doesn't deliver enough voltage to the glow plug after even just a few uses. Too much resistance at where it connects to the glow plug, especially when hot. A nice *Hot Shot* ignitor not only delivers proper voltage, but locks to the glow plug incase you are running a pull start which is 100% necessary to lock or you'll need three hands to get it going.

[fudgeman333]

dude fuck that stupid blue glow wire get a glow ingnighter dummy

[scbjgs]

what's this crap i keep hearing about having to getta new engine after 7 gallons of fuel?

[MarioJunior2011]

@scbjgs 7 Gallons is a lot LOL

[scbjgs]

@MarioJunior2011 not really a long time. i was running like 3 tanks a weekend. and i got like 12 or so tanks on a gallon. idk. it's a lot but then again it isn't.

[MarioJunior2011]

@scbjgs Depends on the Quality of the Nitro Fuel i also think.

[67camaroboy]

when you try to start the truck put your finger over the exhuast and try 2 start it or give it a little throttle whenyou try to start it

[soccerjoker95]

omg ..takes soo long for u to start it .. !

tip : put your finger coverin the exhust for 2-3 secs and then release .. cuz u just goin to flood ur engine lik that

[8sixfeetunder]

i just bought a T-MAXX yesterday and i cant drive it for like a month because of the temptuatre.

[traxxluver]

U can run it just put a sock or toilet paper on the head depending on temp

[traxxasRULES96]

hey guys i have a problem i flooded my engine what do i do

[wilsonhill12]

take out the glow plug (the nut on in the cooling head) and tip the truck or car up side down...the fuel should pour out

[hwes3525]

do what he said and also plug in the ez start and turn it on

[divebahamas]

@traxxasRULES96 take out the glow plug turn it upside down

[JDOGxy]

give it gas whene i does that

[traxxxxxxas]

try a little gas at the start

[adb140275]

prime it... and just hold the damn button, dont jack with it

[crossair437]

is this one of those rc cars that when the batteries die it just takes of full blast and you have no control? my nitro sport did that

[msngros]

yo dude prime your car

[Chidbin]

Hey you want that to start right up get your self a glow plug ignighter

[NitroRC4life]

y would he get one if there is already the blue lead wire coming from the ez start that heats the glow plug for you???

[Chidbin]

B/c the wire only makes the plug blink on an off.... the plug ignighter keeps it hot untill you take it off.

[NitroRC4life]

ok but mine starts up right away with no igniter??? u dont need one, it wasnt primed probably i can bet!!!

[Chidbin]

That or his motors almost fucked

[NitroRC4life]

true!! haha

[Ratkill9000]

How good is the 2.5 TRX, cause mine in my 2.5 rustler by Traxxas sucked to start with a pull start and ez-start how much better is the T-maxx?

[popcornreviews]

sounds like your idle is to high, turn the idle screw to slow the idle!

[ZACH341BMX]

and btw u looked like u were having a hard time starting it you should try to start it while kinda covering the pipe for a second that way it like prims it

[ZACH341BMX]

i have a tmaxx and i personaly prefer shutting it off by the pipe and i have had no harm.

i live in ill. and there is a hobby shop that told me its easier to shut it off that way

and hes a guy from losi thats what he builds

[adskrilla209]

dude covering yer exaust pipe to turn off yer maxx iz a very stupid thing too do, you dont deserve a tmaxx give that shit up lil boy!!!!

[MoRRisoNRisiN]

your the dumbass pinching the fuel line leaning out your motor what an idiot the only thing pluging the exhaust does is flood the motor.. but dont you get the excess fuel out when your putting in your after run oil anyway?? it does absoloutly no harm but pinching the fuel line can damage the motor..

[RcUniverseGuy]

1 week and a day old and u still dont know how to start it right prime the engine idiot

[100tear]

agreed.

[goldenchub]

iear just got a new t maxx,how come it skips forward a little bit when it makes a little ticking sound.almost like it jumps in and out of gear?

[100tear]

why do some ppl block the exhaust to turn the engine off??

[ManuelDr]

cuz they are retards

[narutofan0000000]

screw u man i block the exhaust. its easyer and u dont gota take the body off or risk burning ur harnd getting to the fuel line.

[ManuelDr]

Have fun flooding your engine smartguy

[narutofan0000000]

ur not mesing any thing up when u block the exhaust so u dont know what ur talking about. its quick easy and risk free.

[gabetraxxas]

then how come in the manual it says not to turn of by the exhaust

[narutofan0000000]

cause its not the way traxxas came up with... theres no harm to the engine and to tell u the truth ur realy waisting my time with this BS. iv been doing it this way for years and i havnt had any problems with my engines over this matter.

[gabetraxxas]

because they are fuck tards that want to ruin there engine never turn it off by the muffler pinch the fuel line

[gottogofast24]

PRIME YOUR ENGINE BY BLOCKING THE DAM EXHAUST! Sweet truck!

[tmaxx331rustler]

you using 30% nitro??

[MdNitroRacing]

all ways pinch your fuel line when turn the engine off

[LSXracer]

not really i turn my stuff off like he dide no pinchin it f's the motor up aft a while

[1993TMAXX]

Whats the prob when you block the opening of your exhaust....

[gabetraxxas]

it will flood ur engine and waste ur tim

[cheryyLoVeR]

Try tightening your spur gear.... my 2.5r was doing that, and it was a loose spur gear. put a hex key or something in the hole in the spur gear shaft, and try to turn the spur gear. if it turns tighten it. u might gotta take the motor off to tighten it tho

[MdNitroRacing]

Well dude you must prime your engine every time you fire it up

[tcy109]

u r stupid idiot thats why ur engine dosent star cuase u get of the engine of a bad way lol ur gonna mese it up

[roboman79]

i have one of the old tmaxx 2.5 and i think it's the best little truck in the world,nice video.

[jumpnstuff]

my t maxx keeps making a clicking noise and jerks around it also throtles a little when i have it on brake but the trim is fine got any tips?

[motocrosskoko]

maybe get a new glow plug

[Tmaxxforlife]

dude way to rich

[jumpnstuff]

xair topfuel was made for traxxas motors thatsthe only fuel you should use and once you stick with one fuel dont change

[jabbiejabbie]

im making a video with my t-maxxand my friends rustler

[jabbiejabbie]

thank you?

and do you have any videos

[jabbiejabbie]

my t-maxx 2.5 keeps turning off

what should i do?

[Dpistol1]

set the needles to factory setting and tune it from there

[fultonhockey46]

factory settings for traxxas 2.5 2.5r and 3.3 are 4 turns out on the high speed needle from closed , a 1mm idle gap, and teh low speed should be flush with the end of the barrel on the carb...hope this helps everybody

[1450796]

IT IS CUZ YOU CHANGE SPEED REALLY FAST

[huntersky123]

thats one angry little car!lol

[lilskarv6]

Hey, if its that hard to start use gum out and richen the fuel mixture. when you say its slipping, your spur gear is probably too far from the engine, loosen your engine mount and move it closer to the spur gear.

[XaircraftX]

would traxxas top fuel 20% work good with tmaxx 2.5? please respond soon ty

[johnorocks]

yes

[joeldude76]

i use blue thunger stuff with 10 it works

[yamahamike500]

Hey man you might not wunna use the top stuff it shorten's egnine life and have you ntoice why it's hard to start? use 15% bro you get a longer lasting egine and a healthy truck just some little edvice i used top fuel 33% in my t-maxx 2.5r it overheated the piston so swtich your fuel you will get a better responce.... :D

[6650roger]

Top fuel sucks use byrons fuel. It is the best. Ive gone through 5+ gallons of 20-33% and still running strong.

[6650roger]

the 33% has just as much lube as the 10 or 20%. And overheating is not because of fuel. Its because of a bad tune. runs byrons 20 or 30 and it is easier to tune.

[MdNitroRacing]

Hell yeah dude I'm with you on the Byrons Byron fuel is the best!!!!

[6650roger]

Also it is told by traxxas to not put your finger over the exhaust to turn off simply pinch the fuel line. it allows most os the fuel in the carb to be burned off.

[traxxas525]

thats what i do, its fine as long as you burn up all of the fuel before putting it away for the night.

[cheryyLoVeR]

i shut it off that way if im gonna start it back up in like 20 mins or less but other than that i do after run maintenance and everything. my 2.5r is still a pos tho starts 1 pull wen cold, takes 8-10 wen waarm.

[6650roger]

Mine sounded like it was winding out and would not shift then it would kick in and shift. I just adjusted the shift point eariler and problem gone

[fatcatracinginc]

put your finger over the exaust tip and watch for fuel moving into the carb then take your finger off and it should start faster

[savagex07]

where else do you drive?

[Metallica1005]

is it taking a long time to shift.

[godfatheritalio31]

I think my truck is slipping i dont know but ya and it doesnt sound right when shifts into 2nd speed

[fromdaboz707]

that happed to my cus revo take it down to your hobby shop and they will fix it
