Just got that one way bearing in the mailAnd did the bottom drain hole too haddock how to fit it in a piece a piece of tubing but it did not work out because it was on the bottom of the case couldn't line up the motor mount bolts with it on so had to remove it so now I'm left with this one

Anyone know how to get the T-maxx Pointe 15 throttle linkage to open all the way to Full Throttle when you press the controller

If your radio has adjustable end points, that's where I would start looking. You may be able to get more movement of you can move the ball and linkage out further on the servo arm or to use a longer arm entirely if you have one.

In addition to what Certified Mike said you may also need to adjust the angle of the carb itself. With the power turned off loosen up the carb body bolt, move the throttle linkage to the carb to its fully open position by hand. If the carb body is loose enough the carb body will self correct its angle parallel to the movement of the linkgage. Once you're satisfied with he angle and position tighten up the carb body bolt.
 
What type or battery are you using? Is it a rechargeable NiMh, LiFe. LiPo? How fast of a drain are we talking about? If it's a rechargeable pack how old is it?
 
Don't chuck the failsafe. What you need is to get rid of the AA receiver batteries and get a proper Rechargeable 6.6 NiMh hump pack or better yet a 6.6 LiFe battery pack with at least 1600 mah. It's not the failsafe that's an issue it's your powersource. You'll also need a compatible wall charger or if you can swing it a multi battery type charger/balancer/discharger unit. I have a SkyRc IMax B6AC V2 charger. You just have to be careful buying this brand and unit because of its popularity there are a lot of fake units out there. i got a genuine one with multi-battery lead ends for about $60 off EBay. I connect my laptop to it so I can view the charging graph and control the unit through it(this is an option only. You can use the built in display to control the functions but without the graph display)

Yes you will need a charger specific for the battery type. There are some battery packs that come with a wall charger combo if you check on online retailers. Also EBay and Amazon.

Yes this should work. You'll get pretty good run times with 1600 mah. You can remove the RX battery case but retain the bottom of it. It's padded so you can mount the hump pack with a zip tie. Just need to loosen up the screws that hold the base zip tie the battery pack into the base then re-tighten the screws or you can remove the entire box and move the hump apcknover tot he front of the front shock towers and secure it via a couple of zip ties. To give you an idea of what you can do to your TMaxx you can check out my TMaxx build under projects. You are more than welcome to use any of the mods I've done to both my TMaxx.
 
Have a question about Center in the front steering I took the store volt horn all for the servo and Center to Servo first put it back on that worked on centering the wheels pretty tricky but I think I got it find out when I test drive it again
 
Remove the servo horn for the steering. Power on radio and receiver pack. Adjust trim to center. Reisinstall servo horn as centered as possible. After completing these steps you can power off your radio and receiver pack. You may have to adjust the front turnbuckles accordingly to get it as true as possible.
