    i to use utube alot. i type in things like traxxas t-maxx 3.3 troubleshooting. there are alot of helpful videos. but of course any quick question can hopefully be answered by any t-maxx pro here on the forum. i myself am a t-maxx owner, and i love mine.

    it may not be as fast as a brushless electric. but i love the nitro smell, and the motor roar down my track.

    +1 on the wheelie bar. My maxx runs great now. It spends most of it time on 2 wheels
    I dream of big block power...

    Thumbs down

    Definitely make sure ALL screws are tight and use Loc tight... lost a screw on my steering over the weekend and it cost me +$40....on your front view it is the screw on the right of the throttle servo. The tree was laughing at me when I hit it wide open!!

    Ouch, that sucks bro, I will check all screws for sure, thanks for the tips guys. And just a update on the performance. I spent a
    Day and a half trying to tune this truck. I said the heck with it and closed all both throttle screws and closed the carb. And
    Started from scratch. A turn here a turn there only a half a turn at a time untill it started, then tuned it from there, first the low speed was off so I did a half turn to open it up then did the same with the high speed. It took about 20 minutes to get it where I thought it was finally running good,there was fair amount of smoke coming out so I'm guessing it's not lean,and it was shifting into second gear fine, but it would stauhl
    Out when I stopped to fast. I even flipped it a couple times and it still ran
    Only if I stop fast it stauhls out.
