So I got a T-Maxx long ago, before the 2.5r or the 3.3 ever came out. I was around 12 or so, I never got into the hobby a lot and about 6 years ago I was running it and forgot to put the air filter back in after cleaning it. Need less to say after a few minutes of running it shut off and never...

This winter my good friend gifted me his used 2wd nitro rustler because he didn't want it anymore, he said he beat it up and wasn't great at maintenance. I am a beginner at nitro RC as well this being my first ever car. He left fuel in the lines over winter, and the grey drivetrain next to the...

Hey guys, Some of you might have already read that I've engaged in an electric buggy build after a few year absence from the hobby. This is my first experience venturing out to electric, previously I only built and ran nitro. One of the things that enticed me about electric is the simplicity...

This is a question for all the aquarium guys we have here - what is a good no or low maintenance aquarium setup? Would I be better to go salt or freshwater? I'd like to keep it under 50 gallons.

After I run my nitro rc, must I use after run oil, and lubricate the engine and put shock oil on the shocks. Right now, I am not doing big jumps or bashing. Also do I need to drain the fuel from my fuel tank when i am done driving. Thanks

I'm really looking into getting my first nitro rc car.....the thing is i want to know wat i should be replacing and how often after i get it...i dont mean any parts that will break, but rather parts that are part of maintenance, such as filters, ect. thanks

I was wondering what is good practice after a run? Or a mud run? Are there any good maintenance kits out there? What is good to do after a good run? What spare parts would you suggest to keep on hand? I have a LST XXL Thanks

T-maxx 2.5, What PM's should i do to my trans? It works fine and i want to keep it that way. Also i want to put a 3.3 in my 2.5. I have never opened my trans, and to be honest i am kinda standoffish. I just know i'm going to mess it up. Any advise
