The slipper clutch can be adjusted to suit many different surface conditions and driving styles. Base slipper setting. Tighten the slipper to where you can just slightly turn the spur gear by hand while locking the slipper shaft. This a good starting point to protect the drivetrain from shock loads. Make further adjustments to suit your driving conditions. Do not make adjustments to the slipper clutch any larger than 1/8 turn at a time. Adjust slipper to… • Limit wheel spin for loose conditions. • Keep the front wheels on the ground under heavy acceleration on high-bite surfaces. • Protect the drivetrain from sudden impact or shock loads (such as landing from a jump with the engine under acceleration. Caution: Do not tighten the slipper to the point of eliminating slippage. This can permanently damage the slipper components, and the components of the drivetrain

Ok I'm going to do it tomorrow is there a factory setting for it ? My hobby store told me to tighten it all the way down and then bk it off 1/8 of turn to 1/2 of a turn?

 

[Rolex]

That's about right, 1/4 turn give or take a little.

 

[nikko508]

The instructions I gave you is the factory setting. After you adjust it like the instructions state you can tweak it to your liking.

[nikko508]

you dont need to remove it to adjust it.

I think he has to replace it if the hobby shop didn't do the work for him.

Here's the TMaxx manual. You can save it and read what you need or you can print it out for future reference.
Slippers are an easy fix. Just take your time and pay attention to the order you take parts off so you know how to put them back. The manual should help.

Peaces of the pads broke off on the 6 tank of gas y did that happen when the truck is new ? I call traxxas and they gave me a clutch kit

Probably a defect in the casting.
Fortunately, Traxxas has EXCELLENT customer support.

I have the manual and the box bought the truck on 11/29 And broke it in 3 days ago and took her out yesterday to tune it and the slipper clutch broke and it hasn't hit sec gear 2 time since I had it and no wheelies at all

Hobby town USA put the reverse in it for me

Depending on who you ask, wheelies are a bad thing and a sign of incorrect gearing

I'd say first get the slipper repaired like the guys have already said and then work on getting the engine tuned. Once all that's in place you'll be able to hit 2nd gear easily and even do a wheelie or two if you so choose.

And that manual link was for my 2.5 maxx not my 3.3 one

 

[Rolex]

Ah, I guess it was the 33 in your user name that made me think 3.3.

 

[mike tmaxx 33]

This is where you wait for the Tmaxx guys. I no longer have one so I'm not familiar with the procedure.

 

[mike tmaxx 33]

Take a look at this page as it explains how to remove spur gear.
