I have a t-maxx 2.5 it was the first one my hobby shop got when they first came out well I brought it home it wouldn't run I had to get a new plastic black starter and battery. then when I got it back I got it to run went through the breakin runs got all that done then it just started fouling glow plugs like no other and then the engine froze a little bit but it broke free and since then I can get it to run barely but I can't tune it at all I've even had a friend of mine try to tune it and hes had tons of nitro cars before and he can't even figure it out I just need help I don't know what to do should I get a new motor through traxxas or take it to a hobby shop.

This post gets my nomination for the longest run-on sentence ever.

Hope someone with more sense than I has a good suggestion for you. Good luck, bro.
 
take it to a hobby shop man, they will know where to start with diagnosing it. it sounds like you have more than one problem. too many variables to try to help you out via a forum

and this is my suggestion for most nonsense. if he needs typing help he will go to a typing forum, now on with the question:

could be an air leak, could need a rebuild, could be alot of things. typical trx engine, go aftermarket like o.s. or picco.
 
Someone need a nap? Maybe a sense of humor would help...

sorry man, nothing personal just getting tired of siffting through the crap post, its not so bad if the persons question has already been answered but i have opened threads with several replies none of which pertained to the origanal post. which seems to be becoming more abundant these days?

put yourself in the others shoes, you see a reply to a question you asked and can't wait to get an answer to, just to see its someones goofy remark that is no help.

I'm all for socializing but dont yall have the "batcave" for that.;)
