3 t-maxx

[painterx]

I just bought 3 tmaxx trucks at action how can I tell what i have and are most of the parts interchangable 2 truck motors have 3.3 and the other one has 2.5 now the 2.5 truck and one of the 3.3 trucks look like the same chassie but the other 3.3 has bigger tires and a blue front and rear a-arms.I just bought them for my son

Post some picture and we can help better. For the most part all the parts are interchangeable. Sounds like the 3.3 with blue a-arms have RPM arms on it.

In order of your pics
4910
4908
4910 with 3.3 engine

The two short chassis truck parts are all interchangeable. The other truck has select parts that are compatible, but mostly it's a different animal.

Cool that's what I thought from the above pics.now the 4908 3.3 me and my son tried to start yesterday primed it new battery in ezstart and would not turn over. Now I read some were that if you heat up the motor with a hair dryer it will start? Well this is the only way it will start with heating it up first.from cold this thing will just sit and spinn the motor now if I add heat it will start right up. Now the lsn is flush with inner ring and hsn is 4 1/2turns out so I think that's fine.is there something wrong with the motor carb gasket ect ... Ect .....

Does the engine turn over by hand if you turn the flywheel?

If you cannot turn it over by hand it could be gummed up, it will need to be cleaned out before you try running it.

If it's gummed up trying to force it to turn over you will damage the con rod.

Turns smooth little sticking at TDC. It will spinn till the e start battery dies but if you heat up the head a little it turns and runs fine could it be head gasket

Sounds like it's still a little tight, run some fuel through it!

Just warm it up the head if it sticks a little on first start up.
