I have a T-Maxx .15

Tighten the nut all the way until the spur won't move. Then back off 1 1/4 a turn then adjust accordingly. You will either have to tighten or loosen a 1/4 turn at a time. You want the slipper clutch to barely slip.

Earlier I took it outside in like a little loud whining pitch noise when I mash the throttle I reset the mass on the motor and tightened up the slipper clutch all the way and back it off one and a half times it seems to be working now it's a little bit of slip

If it slips again you may need to replace the slipper pegs with new ones.

Having issues out of the steering I sent her the servo already and make sure the swivel straight and look at the server one back on I can turn it to the right the goes back to sooner ornaments if I turn left it does not back to the center point

Sounds like your either your servo gears or servo motor might be messed up. If you have a spare servo of the same brand that's not working you may be able to fix it by salvaging the good working parts assuming the broken part you have is the good part from the other servo. If this is not an option you will need to replace the servo. Find something rated at least 200/torque and at least .13 or less in speed. These ratings are at 6v.

I think I got the steering Center but when I'm driving it drifts to the left

You will have to make adjustments on the left turnbuckle. It's better to make the wheels point in a little inwards rather than outwards. When the tires start rotating it tends to naturally want to push outwards especially at high speeds. When you adjust it a little more inwards upon rotation the wheels will straighten out and track truer. I would do the same adjustment to the right so it doesn't pull to the right once you make adjustments to the left.

Got my Tenergy 5 Cell 6V / 6 Volt 1600mAh NiMH Hump Receiver Battery Pack w Charger Bug in the mail today question how long do I charge the battery for for the first time then how after the first time

 

[DXtreme1]

Normally those wall charges have a LED light on it. Some chargers will have the LED blink, turn off or change color depending on model. I'm not particular with the Tenergy unit but most of these wall chargers will charge at 1 amp and some will trickle charge after the battery is fully charge. I would check the manual that came with it or the manufacturer's website for more info or maybe the vendor that sold you the unit.

Mighty Max stalling out at Full Throttle and it just dies on its own while idling

 

[Little chicken T-Maxx]

What would cause a nitro engine to cut out at Full Throttle and while idling it dies while idling too sometimes

The T-maxx is giving when given gas it wants to stall Full Throttle almost

Your LSN needle may need to be adjusted ,I'm not sure which way ,may need to be richened ,
try richening it up a half a turn ,or if that don't work ,put it back ,an lean it a half a turn an see if
it makes a difference!

Little Chicken TMaxx I recommend that you read up on this to give you a better understanding of how to tune a Nitro motor. https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/threads/rc-nitro-engine-performance-tuning.102688/

A couple of things could do it!

A broken clutch spring ,or the idle set screw not set properly!...

 

[DXtreme1]

cbaker 65 definitely makes valid points also It could be possible you may need a new clutch as well. But start with learning how to tune your carb settings correctly. Also since you upgraded your receiver battery and you may be getting more available power to your servos it may

be pushing the idle position further than it used to when you apply the brakes. Please revisit your idle screw setting and make sure to check the position with your servo on full brake lock to see how far it closes the carb opening.

Can't do anything for a couple days my EZ start motor went out

 

[DXtreme1]

If you don't care much about the ez Start maybe you should ditch it and get a pull start

I purchased a lot of traxxas parts a while back on ebay, I believe there was a new in package pull start for the .15, I might even have a set of titanium tie rods for your model. I'll look tonight at what I have for the .15 tmaxx and let you know. I was going to post the stuff I can't use for my 2.5 tmaxx on ebay, but if I can help a member out I'll post a list of items on this thread and let you know what I need to get out of them, it'll be cheap. Hope this is ok with the moderators
