Traxxas T-Maxx Suspension Setup 

9 years later your video is still helping people 💪👍🏼 Awesome

Absolutely fantastic even though it’s old but still one of the best thank you for all of your tutorials

thanks for posting this video i have a 3.3 T-MAXX and i was having trouble getting it to go staright but after i saw this video i got it setup right

This was a very well done instructional video. I had too much toe in on my EMaxx and now was able to get it set much better. Thank you.

Thanks! I just got a tmaxx after not having any r/c cars for about 10 years. You made the steps easy to follow and with simple inexpensive tools! Bravo!

Thank for the help I oways have one tier that has terrible camber or toe in I can never get it straight thought about true track from rpm

This guy is good explains the right way of the Tmax That’s awesome

Very good video.

this video was great thank u

i realy love this vid.very helpfull on the setting for basis platform.hope u do more.thank

I use 80 weight with the two hole inserts. The shocks are set in the middle of the tower and A arms. It seems to work great for jumping and bashing.

Lets not forget that if you want to adjust ride-height without affecting the preload you can also move the shocks in and out slightly with the different holes on the shock towers and the A-arms. I moved the ones on my truck all the way out to help minimize chassis roll in the corners. It also firms up the suspension just a bit by giving the shocks better mechanical advantage. Next is some 40 weight or heavier oil to ride the truck of that awful chassis slap when landing on concrete. :)

This video helped a lot thanks. now i just need to do it.

True, but i havent noticed any bouncing but i did put progressive springs on one shock on each tower, which I failed to menthion earlier. The one thing I did notice was if you bring the camber screws in all the way it will cause it to be impossible to turn. So it is important to back them off just enough so that the truck will turn with ease. nice vids though lots of info no bs.

A most helpful video just got a T-Maxx and I'm dying to drive it but, I want to set up all the suspension to handle the upgraded engine that the gentleman I got it from put in it.

So true, but so long as you are braking either just after or lightly during a corner you can get them to turn tighter. Very hard to keep them stable though. And the planetery diffs that are not so limited slip really make it drift like a fat pig sliding down a muddy hill. It just kind of spins in circles and squeals. :) But it is pretty cool to go fast as heck, jump stuff, and climb things. Fun little truck.

Thanks

Good job

I accidentally bought a 4907 body shell for my 4909, would it be worth me switching to the extended chassis? I could probably get all the parts needed for $50-$60.

Hey I need some help with my throttle linkage and servos. When I pull the throttle it closes the carb in stead of opening it what did I do wrong??

on mine i dont see a problem and on the front left thers one broken [took off one cuase the cap broke again] but to be fair my cousin raced them and gave me mine

I just bought a t maxx because of you!

10 years later am I still can’t find those suspensions u have on your tmaxx

You did mention it for a bit at the end. My bad for not waiting till the absolute end to post the comment, whoops. :) When I set up mine I also tried to get the rear suspension preload slightly higher with the front slightly softer. I also tried to get a good amount of camber upfront. I am trying to give it more of an oversteer tendency instead of a boring understeer tendency. I realized quickly realized that this machine has a rather large turning circle out of the box.

I was on forum trying to find help but was lost. My question is that I have a 2.5 chassis but have a 3.3 motor ect. was looking at to up grade some stuff like suspension and a arms my question is do I go with 2.5 or 3.3?? Pls help

Do you have any videos for the Monster GT 8.0?

Best video

I have a traxxas t-maxx. I was thinking about converting to electic, but I would rather buy another traxxas and use the tmax as parts for the new traxxas. Which traxxas would be best for using the parts for. Keep in mind that I upgraded the t-maxx to the max, so there's a lot of good parts. Can anyone out there please give me there suggestions. Thanks.

Hello! Man you are a wizard! I've watched your videos 6 times each and am ready and confidant enough to put your PRO INFO into my T-max Regarding your steering with the vehicle lifted..... so smooth and plenty of travel.....Owner at Great Hobbies in Ottawa explained to me that mine doesn't do that because they are not in motion on a surface........ when my machines cooking across r The terrain steering seems weak. .... truck has found a soccer post. Garbage base,park bench, water fountain and drove itself right through a outdoor fence opening crossed two lanes of traffic and viciously exploded an attack on plant pot..... I got new blue servo and found another soccer post from the opposite end..... I got allot of parts put it that ay. Any info on how to have more control and steering travel? Like my car or 5 ton truck. THANK YOU

Did make those a arm plates?? If not where did u get them? Thnx

I have a tmaxx and when I push down on the rear the tires bow out. What am I doing wrong

What steering servo do you have? Mine doesn't even come close to the speed of yours. Fresh batteries installed too.

dont you have to square one side first with the chassis

is this a 1/10?
