hey man! I'm glad you made a dedicated video on this, to be honest the first time I noticed the spinning Spur on the 2.5 classic model I was baffled, lol. There is almost no info on this "gear protection" feature online. ONly way to overcome the jerkiness upon acceleration is just to accelerate faster, otherwise there is nothing you can do. I also noticed on all my older 2.5 models the SPUR is almost always slightly crooked as it spins on the shaft. Doesn't damage it, but just surprising to see.
Thanks I agree when I was told it wasn’t supposed to spin I looked everywhere to see why mine was spinning and noticed that it has to spin to fling the inside weights and then noticed the 3.3 was way different..I’d love to see you do a video on this as you know them way better then I do , I just wanted to get the basic information out there so I would get the information out to those asking me to fix something that’s not broken from what I’ve learned..glad I had a chance to see both in front of me as I’m learning more everyday I tinker with them ..thanks for all the help as I’ve watched a lot of your old videos for this information as well 👍👍
14.9!! Come on guys spread the word. Let's get Earl to 15K subscribers. He has a beautiful Limitless up for grabs. I want that Limitless so bad I can't see straight. Earl remember I'll take care of my own shipping. lol.
Watching your Nitro series, it’s obvious Nitro RCs are more of a hands on, attention to details over the Electric RCs. For me I find Nitro more entertaining to watch but Electric is more my cup of tea. Enjoying the series. 👍💯
Hope you're starting to feel better🙏 My wife & I are recovering from C-19 for the 2nd time . I did wonder why that was spinning. Great video , thanks for all the tips 👍
Ive learned through the years of having a 2.5 t maxx that it is best to lower the idle as much as possible and when you shift to reverse or forward blip the throttle a little, when it drops below idle hit the switch. It should shift much easier
@@earlmoorhead5555 They are weak from 1980 or the 90’s whenever they were made. That never changed The 2.5 is what the rod is spec to not the 3.3 The extra power eats up the rods fast I split them down the Center just like what is said to happen to them. Anyways there won’t be a lot of them rods being made so I would jump on it if I were you. There is a order happening right now and I hear it may be his last time doing this.
Is there a way to reach out to you by email? I had some questions about a few products from game changer that I'm wanting to get but am unsure of what it is I need. I've been to his ebay store and there are many options. I know what I want or what it is I'm trying to do but don't know which products I need to get me there. Thanks
Doesn’t act up till I try and stop then surging two or three times and stops idles with no issues then I drive and everytime I hit the brakes it surges a couple of times and then it’s fine can’t lower the idle any more and as I’ve seen it’s everyone of them 💯💯
