The traxxas T-Maxx truck was a very popular nitro rc car. For a lot of you out there, you still have one sitting around that you just never got into. There are a lot of reasons the t-maxx 2.5 let us down, a slow engine, a terrible turning radius, and needing 1000 double a batteries to enjoy it. Here is the upgrades you need to have fun with it.

The soundtrack is provided by our copy of Proscores

  • I am looking for some more details. Wanting to update my steering servo and I know you said it was 200 oz but what brand? Not finding a 200 oz online. Also what exactly did you do to update the turning radius. I'm new to the RC so anything would help. Love the videos btw.

  • @JoeDirt9671 Many good brands out there. Savox, Hitec, Spektrum, etc etc. Look for 200+oz/in and make sure you have a quality battery on board to power it. Don't run a servo saver right on the servo. Get the bellcrank upgrade kit from Traxxas with servo saver built in. Thanks for watching!

  • I have a 2.5 right now, if I were to change just the engine to a 3.3 would it be faster?

  • @NiitroChiZz Yes.

  • I wish you would have slowed down that video..I am also droping a 3.3 in my 2.5 Tmaxx and i could of used some info on what you did exactly to strengthen your Transmossion? I was told if i droped a 3.3 into a 2.5 tranny it would tear my reverse gears up! But in your Video you didnt do anything to the tranny? All you did was put a 3 shoe clutch in? I was told to use a Revo or Tmaxx3.3 Spurr gear or just plain 3.3 Tranny? Please help how can i keep my 2.5 Tranny without tearing it up with the 3.3?

  • @77Lunchmeat Keep the Slipper clutch on the loose side. Run smaller diameter tires. Don't try to jump houses =]

  • Is there two gears in forward? For some reason mine won't shift into second?

  • Replace the lines

  • the fuel will not flow through my lines what do i do???????

  • @Smaxxfreak i doubt he keeps it that clean after a run i clean mine after every few runs so that it looks new though

  • Is the 2.5 a durable truck for light off road bashing

  • How the heck do you keep your trucks so clean i have tryed everything and nothing works!!!! Please help!

  • What is the part # for the bell crank steering upgrade from Traxxas?Thank you!
