What are your secret (not so secret) tips for beginners like me? Tuning, driving, race, secret products ect. for T-maxx or others.
Just a place for beginners to look and gain knowledge. (or experts looking to rip off other's secrets, :constipat: )

Heres the biggest secret to getting a trx 2.5 on a T-maxx to run right. Get a better cooling head. Now that the secret is out, rolex can relax! LOL....
 
...and don't start messing with all the carb screws day one thinking you can fix it better than it came. Break it in first!
 
Man, when i got my first nitro (an rc10gt) i didnt know you could tune them, and when i found out you could, i was so surprised when i leaned it out a little bit. But yeah, break in is an absolute must. Along with a fuel filter.

Thank you so much. I'm kinda' getting tired of saying that.
 
If you have a pull start use a glove to prevent blisters. Use a Hair dryer to heat the engine, air filter, and exhaust. Take your time when tuning your engine and only move the needles in very small incraments.
 
Throw it away and get a savage... (was that out loud?)

Get some good qualtity bulkheads and a better engine mount. If you get the itch to go big block, don't. Buy a savage and be content with a lighter quicker maxx.
 
Get a new engine. The 2.5 sux. If yuo can save up for an O.S. But later that should be done for now, uhh here somthing not up there. Steel Spur gears. That way you dont have to replace the plastic ones. tower hobbie carrys them. Robinson Racing makes one fot the maxx.

The trx 2.5 is a good engine, the only thing that makes it bad is the head on it. Change that, and you are in business.
 
hey guys. I made this little device to help get all of the fuel out of the tank. It really works pretty well.
