Klaus... Heres how to calculate the gear ratio.

Turn the drive shaft one complete revolution and count how many complete revolutions the tire makes. For instance... Wheel turns 3.5 complete turns...

My 2.5 was never tight at TDC. Never got stuck at TDC and is now burning out after 1 1/2 gallons. But I do think Traxxas way is good. If you lean on any motor hard at the beginning, it will wear it...

If you want off the line speed, get the 18 tooth clutch bell, and the 70 tooth spur. That will give incredible torque and wheelies without sacraficing much on the top end speed

What kind of condition is the diff in? And as stated before, what condition is the engine in? Could be trashed. Those mods including the truck cost could be in the range of a new truck. BUYER BEWARE!

couldnt tell ya. I just use the black heavy's all the way around.

I use Odonnell 30% and it runs great on that. I have used Blue Thunder, and Traxxas and I like the Odonnell the best.

Klaus,

Thats your problem!! I went off a 6ft jump and my T landed straight up and down! Truck landed straight up on the back wheels. Heard a snap and said... that didnt sound good. I was on the...

I use the Trinity heavy blacks all the way around with stock shock oil, and stock shocks, and they are great!! Not expensive ( about 7 bucks) I jump about 15 feet in the air, and no problems. Handles...

Rocketguy,

They are right about your spur. I have done this, and if it sounds like a clutch slipping in a regular car, ie... high revs and going slow, thats what it is. Tightening your slipper is...

Hey, it might just be your one way. If the starter spins, and you hear nothing from the engine, I would think that. Also, if it intermittenly spins motor and makes a clankity clank noise, it might be...

If you value friends the same way I do, it will make you feel better than you know to know that you sold something you knew was good. You sell your least favorite to someone you dont know. I value...

If it's a good friend, remind them that these things are subject to breakdowns and it is highly probable that he will break something, or something will break. If they are good with that, then since...

5 zip ties... I only use 3 and it never comes off. If the ties are melting, your running too hot. Mine get brittle and snap from the heat cycles, but never melt.

Billy... I got a 2.5, but I am running a 18t clutch bell and a 70t spur, and it wheelies like crazy. It does burnouts as well on dry pavement. Of course I have the stock tires though.

Try turning the idle screw out a smidge. Make sure your settings on your transmitter are good.

Am I correctly interpreting your definition... acceleration= off the line, and speed= top end?

Alright everyone, little help here...

I have an 18t bell and a 70t spur. Can someone tell me what happens if you go to lower tooth cb and higher tooth spur. And visversa. I want to still be able...

Mine did that last weekend. I pulled the glow plug, and it was toast. Element was gone. Put a fresh one in, a-ok. When you make modifications, do one at a time, then run it. Try doing the mod when...

TmaxLX Dont worry about it. What these other people should have done was to kindly mention the search, and just help you out since there is already a thread. Not everyone remembers when they were a...

Get one if you have the money. Speaking from experience, I love mine. It's not sleek like the REVO. Its just now, the Revo is the Z28 version and MAXX is the SS version... only a few differences. I...

Well, I would stay with the plastic. When those get eaten, just think of it as it could have been a tranny gear. A metal one will not give and it can... didnt say will... eat tranny gears. I do have...

If you want to keep control of you rc, I wouldnt go any bigger than .18 OS engine. I dont need an OS, because I just wanted some wheelies occaisionally, some nice donuts, and good jumping. The stock...

Dont know... should you?

Glad you got it fixed, but one little bit of friendly advice... You get more answers in the future when you ask politely and then wait for someone to respond. Sometimes you dont get an answer in a...

Give it to the dog... Mine seems to be able to get anything apart.
