Traxxas T-Maxx Reassembly 

A 2wd T-Maxx? I bet that is interesting lol. I know all about the hard headedness, I suffer from that myself haha. If it were me, I would get a drive shaft or diff or whatever it needs and make it 4wd again. They are so much fun with all the wheels spinning. Of course if you are doing it for a reason stick with it. I would be interested in hearing how the project is going. You should create a thread over on our forum. I will be doing a lot more videos on these soon. www.Rc-Help.com

@@RcHelpDotCom Thanks for the information. It has the yoke on the front of the tranny. It will likely cost 3 times as much to get it running than buying a new one. Gotta try.

If you have the front diff, it sounds like all you would need is the front driveshaft to get it to 4wd.

@@RcHelpDotCom When it gets here I will have the ability to see what is going on with it. It is an estate sale thing. Typical basket case. Looks like the radio module is gone, expansion chamber, air cleaner. Little Elroy got busy on it. 65.00 I watched you run your truck and it's just what I want to do. A parts source will be greatly appreciated. Used if possible. Retirement is expensive. 1/4 of the money and half the headaches.

I would quite honestly ditch the stock Tx and Rx and get a 2.4Ghz one. The old crystal Tx's out there are known to fail because of interference (and there is a lot of it these days) and when they fail it is usually at full throttle. A 10lb truck at full throttle = not a good time. The air cleaner is pretty cheap, you should be able to get it from ebay pretty cheap, as well as the rest of the parts. Just let me know when you get it and when you get a parts list. Posting on the forum would be best.

I will have to look at my truck I have sitting here, but I don't remember having to install that first. I thought you could put it in any time. This video is quite old so I don't remember everything from the build. If this is the case, I do apologize and I will be sure to include it in the new series that will be coming out soon. Thanks for the comment Gary. www.Rc-Help.com

+RcHelpDotCom anytime. Do you know where I can find one of those for cheap? I'm wanting one for myself.

+RcHelpDotCom awe okay. Thank you anyways though. I will. My dad has the 3.3 and it's bad ass.

Same here I bought 4 tmaxx for 300,

I'm glad I could help out!

Had to look that truck up, and that is a great looking little truck. I wouldn't mind having a few of them myself. Yea, I said few lmao. I have driven many different kinds, mostly tanker. But send me an email to admin@rc-help.com and we will work it out on restoring your truck. And make sure to watch the new series on the T-Maxx where I go in a LOT more detail on the rebuild, especially on the transmission. www.Rc-Help.com

@@RcHelpDotCom I will email you ! My concern is the controller 😯 6 channel I think & it's been extended with the sleeper even has the smoke stacks & I've got the Tamiya Bruiser that needs restored it has gearbox issues . Neat big boy toys wanted them bad as a kid, but big $$$ now guess you could call it a midlife crisis . Already bought my real viper sitting in the garage. LOL I'm negotiating for more parts for the King Hauler

I"m glad I could help out Will. www.Rc-Help.com

RcHelpDotCom do you think you could do a video on how to adjust the shift points on the nitro transmission? I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this and I’m stumped. Thanks!

@@willcarpentieri879 That is definitely one of my upcoming videos that I already have planned. One thing to remember when adjusting the shift points, use very small adjustments. I'm talking half hour turns if you are looking at the hour hand of an analog clock. But give me a little time and we will be talking about the transmission, and a few videos after that will be the tuning video. www.Rc-Help.com

RcHelpDotCom thanks man! Happy New Years

Ahh Ok, I missed it, I remember you doing that now. Thanks for the reply! Ill sign up over on the forums today.

I have a new series for a 2.5 T-Maxx rebuild that may help you put yours back together. This series doesn't cover things as in depth as the newer series does. And as always if you need even more detailed help, you can always come over to www.Rc-Help.com and we will be happy to assist over there! Here is the Newer T-Maxx series - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hmbG_RkHLbY.html

@@RcHelpDotCom accually two days later, we went to the hobby shop and they said it would cost 560$ to fix it so I’ll just get a new one

@@henrywood5462 ​ @Henry’s RC cars What? That sounds incredibly high and they were likely trying to sell you a new kit. I would be very interested to know what they thought it would take to repair this kit.

@@RcHelpDotCom yeah I’m not gonna fix it. WAY too much for a 20 year old car! I could just get like a brand new Maxx for the price to just get that one running!

It may take a while to complete it, but yes, you can send it to me and I will repair it. Come over and sign up on the forum and send me a PM. My username on there is Tony. And PM is actually called "Conversation" lol. Hope to see you there. www.Rc-Help.com

I do not understand the question. Can you phrase it a little differently please?

RcHelpDotCom so I have a tmaxx classic and the screws holding in the transmission are stripped and I cant get them out because there in a hole. Any tips

No, if you’re staring from the back of the truck towards the front, both center drive axles should turn counter clockwise to roll forward.

Jason Harty yeah I got that resolved thanks lol

I didn't even know Walmart sold nitro fuel. I have always run Blue Thunder just for bashing or O'Donnell for racing. I have used Traxxas fuel as well and it was pretty good. It is also what Traxxas suggests and could help with a warranty claim if you burn up an engine. www.Rc-Help.com

If you are talking about in general, the plug could be too hot (thin wire) or running it too lean. If you are talking about the one in the video, I only replaced it once. www.Rc-Help.com

RcHelpDotCom Would you run a cold plug in the t maxx then?

I always run the stock Medium plug in Traxxas engines. amzn.to/2Ic1cyJ

I rewatched this series about a year ago and I had the exact same thought. Why in the world did I skip the reassembly? The answer is, I have no idea why I skipped over it. No worry though, I'm going to be redoing this series soon and it will be included. My apologies. www.Rc-Help.com

Only reason i asked is because I jjst got a tmaxx an im doing a complete rebuild an forgot how some stuff goes lol

If you want to come over and post up pictures on our forum, I would be more than happy to help out to get your truck back together. I know what it is like ot wait and wait for a new video to come out on a specific subject and want to help get you going asap if I can. www.Rc-Help.com
