Hey today I was bashing my Maxx around in this little construction site. It is mostly dirt and a few dirt hills. But I notice that my Maxx would Rev up real high and would not move. It did this 2 times. I took a look at the gears (Spur Gear) and it was fine and the clutch bell gear was fine also. So i started it back up and it was normal again. I am wondering could this be the Tranny about to give out or what could be my problem? I am using the 2.5 Tranny with the 3.3 motor.
 
Does your max have reverse? I can't remember from the pics, sounds like the forward/rev servo was not completely fixed in either posistion

Pics have been sent to you

Yah it has a rev but i do not use it. I only use forward though
I got the pics.
 
Is the servo still hooked up? Even though you dont use it the servo can glitch sometimes and basically puts the tranny in neutral
 
Do yourself a favor and elimininate the reverse all together, its hands down the single most cheapest and best mod to apply to the maxx platform, its called a forward only conversion "foc" will cost you between 10-15$ off ebay for the kit.....in the meantime you can simply disconnect the servo from the rx
 
Yeah that is what i have done already. So i manual have it pushed in. But i am going to check out the FOC on ebay. I might even check my LHS and see if they got one
