sluggish tmaxx

[jamesalee337]

hey gang. i need advice. my t-maxx 3.3 has no low end torque. if i punch it after warmed up the engine screams but i dont get the front end up. be advised, this maxx is brand new and less than two hours run time. I did the five tank breakin procedure and a new 3232x plug. I watched performance and richened high speed mixture by 1/8 turn. What do I need to do to get this puppy to walk on the weelie bar.

check out how tight you have the slipper clutch adjusted.

+1 on the slipper, a lot of the Revos and Maxxs we sell come back in because of the slipper clutch throwing a pad. We tell people to check them before running them but some people are too excited.

How do you know if your slipper clutch is too loose ore tight?

I lock the shaft from the other side with a Allen key and turn the slipper gear by hand, when it starts to get hard to turn by hand I tighten it 1/12 of a turn, this works for me.

Traxxas says to tighten the center nut until its tight then back it off 1/4 turn.

Locked down the slipper clutch as suggested. problem solved... I appreciate the advice, team.
