Great father son project! Well done. I've been helping my son with his t-maxx, he's 30, I'm 52 lol. My wife laughs at us, but thinks it's cool lol. I'm in the proT1 myself, hope to run it this weekend. r
to solve that reversing issue, you gata open your transmission and tighten the grub screw about 1/4 turn on both the forward and reverse grease. if you look at those two gears, they have a clutch mechanism which is adjusted with the grub screw on them. I had the same problem but now its fixed totally.
DON'T USE REVERSE AT ALL!!!! I've been through 2 transmissions and my buddy has went through 2 as well. The gears don't catch and they slowly strip each time it doesn't go into gear. It gets costly and if your planning on running it even through water you will need water proof servos try not to get water on the ez-start mine locked up and I had to put new grease in it.
try turning the idle down that will make it where can switch it to reverse if its idle to hi it wont switch and u have to me completely stop hope that helps
My traxxas tmaxx uses a lot of fuel it hasn't turned on in 7 years so we fired it up messed with the tuning it runs fine but uses a lot of fuel what can I do to make it run more efficient? We also took apart the engine and cleaned it.
i wish i knew how to fix those thing up like you i got one used and i still need to figure out how to fix it up... im pretty sure it needs a new engine. i also did what you did bought a shit one and another thats in better condition
I quit using my nitro in exchange for brushless I mean holy shit 7500kv brushless and a 3s lipo on a 10th scale redcat is uncontrollable it spins all 4 wheels up to about 60 plus it's plug and go so much easier and much less tuning.

Ugh browser crash lol. I'm restoring an HPI nitro MT1. Looking forward to playing with it as he runs his maxx.
One tip, always turn your radio on first!! Not the truck, and when ur Turing it off you want to turn the truck off first
Kool. It sounds like a Formula 1 car when it shifts.
Revers works, all you have to do is STOP before you shift, I with the 2 speed was a manual shift from the remote, that would be cool

MrNatetheepic just too rich, try leaning the high spend needle 1/16 of a turn clockwise
@MrNatetheepic lean it out but do not let the temp get higher than 275 degrees
You put the clutch in leading or trailing, there is no wrong way to put it on!
was it originally a pro .15 because im like the same age as your son and I want to upgrade mine to a 2.5 or 3.3
Peter Griffin no it was a 2.5 because the linkage is a slide linkage
Correction, always always turn your radio on before you car, otherwise it can get a different signal and go crazy, trust me I’ve had it happen
put an o.s .21 tm engin in there! i did it to mine and holy crap!! it's fast!
That is bad ass but I have to say the roll cage is on there for a reason go bash the hell out of it!!!!
If you want more speed upgrade to the gray Tran
Mr. Sideways but the 4909 model not the 4907 so u can have reverse
bad ass dude
will you ever start making videos of jet skies again? I have watched almost every one about your polaris's

I got one like that for free but I had a lot of rust and i had to replace the shocks and the wheel etc but thankfully 😅 I had a lot of parts
Cool.....
Just the 2.5r
