Is so impressive the Tmaxx platform still an awesome design. That truck was introduced in 1999, impressive. Love the Tmaxx for me still the King in MT nitro trucks. My first Tmaxx was the 2000 model with the TRX pro .15 engine non wide suspension.
Ahh father and son bonding, just bought my pops a brand new t maxx for Christmas, he’s more of a nitro guy so I hope it’ll put a smile on his face Nice vid brotha👍🏽
Just bought a t maxx 3.3 last week started with 30% VP nitro took me a little while to get it tuned right and running at 270-280 degrees and man does she scream. Great content man keep it up buddy!
Niiiiiiiice!!! That’s sick man, always glad to hear people are buying new nitros. But 270-280 is actually a little warm for a traxxas engine, they should temp any were from 240 to 260. Thanks for the comment!!
Too hot. Keep running it at those temperatures and you can kiss your connecting rod goodbye. The way that the connecting rod is designed in the 2.5 or 3.3 will eventually split down the middle. Gotta keep the temperatures lower than that. Preferably lower than 230 degrees.
Yup. You gotta enjoy it every time you get a chance. T-Maxx, Slayer pro, Rustler, 4tec all are fun nitros and many other brands such as the savage. Thanks for sharing the nitro lives on.
Great video! Nitro gang 2spd babyyy! Although I have 2 tmaxx's one is 2spd and the other is forward only single speed conversion I bought that way, but still fun.
In the summer these things always runs perfect but in the cold weather you get little problem on the tune because it’s not getting hot enough. What I do it put aluminum foil on the head and it always runs 220 to 240. It used to stay at 180 all the time because the cold.
You know what is a fun truck also? The Maxx. I love my original Tmaxx 2.5 & 3.3 along with my new Tmaxx 3.3, but I picked up a Maxx last month & the thing is really cool. Love my Xmaxx also
Sweet man! I have a 3.3 tmaxx and a classic tmaxx that was my dads that came with the trx .15, thing is probably almost 20 years old lol, that I also swapped for a 2.5r and I love that setup!
Man what I wouldn’t do for a bash spot like that.. I’m stuck running on soccer fields, a tiny skate park and the parking lot at my apartment. Nice video man, mAkes me think about picking up a Slayer Pro again
"My antenna is bend,I"m sad" XD You made my day :-) I"m afraid that I must add a T-MaXX to my current R/c fleet ,for some reason it seems like I"ve fallen in love with this nitro beast :-D
@@GoFastRC Thats true bro! I need to get one ,I have a 1:6 scale Gas Monstertruck ,but it"s simply different ,so i need additionally a lightweioght T-Maxx ,lover the sound when this beast is shiofting on your video
@@GoFastRC ..But also his unique handling, I have allready drive the Savage,the Thundertiger with the big block,the Revo and the T-Maxx,I can say that the T-Maxx was by far the greatest driving experience of them all.. But I never own one by my self..So Yeah..I think I know what will be my next Rc car :-) I love the smell of the burned Nitro fuel too,at least the smell of some nitro fuel brands..
@@voneboy hahaha I have been trying to get myself a revo because I want a 3.3 car, and i have never actually driven a revo before. I think you should get the 3.3 because it has a lot more power than the 2.5.
The only difference between the 2.5 and 2.5r is the blue head! Everything is the same otherwise, traxxas be scamming people for years with that!😂. Putting the 3.3 crankshaft in the 2.5 will make it run so much better though,its a direct fit.❤
Both are awesome trucks. With the tmaxx it will be able to handle tougher terrain and also jump better since it won’t parachute. It all depends on where your going to drive. If it’s tougher terrain then tmaxx all day. If it’s not that rough and your not going to be jumping then I think the slayer would be the better choice for that instance
The skid plates are discontinued, but I am sure you can find something similar on Amain or Amazon. My bulkeds are just the stock 3.3 ones. But my dad has really nice aluminum ones from traxxas. Thanks for the support!!
You should be running all 12 slipper pegs. That should help it to not slip so much. Also tighten the nut down a little bit could help depending on how much you have it adjusted out.
Is that spur gear not supposed to move freely? I just picked up a 2.5 from a guy for free. Looks in really good shape and he said last time he drove it a couple years ago it ran but mine spins like that. I haven’t tried to start it yet though
The spur gear is supposed to move freely. There is a clutch inside of the transmission that is connected to the spur gear via shaft that engages when throttle is applied. Once you fire it up, if there is a cog at low throttle that is completely normal. It is just the clutch engaging and dis engaging in the transmission. Hope you have fun with the tmaxx!! NITRO GANG!!!
We are in Shafter, CA. It’s out in the orchards right next to a park with a soccer field, football field and it has a water park, that’s is really the best I can do for you right now. Sorry, but if you want I can figure out street names and stuff.
I want to start my tmaxx but it's second hand and isn't an easy task for someone who hasn't ever started a nitro engine. I've been doing a lot of research, it's got a pretty fresh engine on it now seeing how I am sure I destroyed the first motor.
I honestly don’t know. The xmaxx is crazy big and crazy powerful plus you can get crazy air with it. But the tmaxx is really fun because of the sound, 2 speed shift, and the engine. I honestly love both trucks. I really don’t know which I like better. Thanks for the support!!🤙🤘
Honestly, I love my Tmaxx a million times more than the Xmaxx 8s I got. I enjoy the nitro sound way more and think it handles better because of the weight. Leave Kev T out of YT, you barely see them on here, hahaha
I've always been a firm believer that stopping the engine by blocking the exhaust is not a safe way to do it. It quickly floods the cylinder with fuel and is really hard on the connecting rod and piston. A much safer way is to pinch the fuel line.
I also have a 2.5 that’s 13+ years old & a 11+ year old 3.3 Just snapped the front drive shaft on the 3.3 & because Traxxas beefed up those parts I can’t get a replacement anywhere on Earth. And I am not buying a super old one for parts Maybe I can just Kevin Talbot something as a replacement & shoe it in there...lol Or just finally buy a new 3.3. Rather use that cash though for a Maxx...Decisions, decisions, decisions
Since i got my Tmaxx 3.3 these days i don’t run my Tmaxx pro.15 model any more. So I’ve upgraded to 2.5 specs. And soon it be on offer up app. If anyone want to buy ill post the link to it once it completed.

That’s sick!! Yeah the tmaxx is one hell of a truck, I am glad I was able to have mine given to me.
Nitro gang will never die!
It will never die!! NITRO GANG!!
Ahh father and son bonding, just bought my pops a brand new t maxx for Christmas, he’s more of a nitro guy so I hope it’ll put a smile on his face
Nice vid brotha👍🏽
Heck yeah man happy to hear your growing the Nitro Gang, hope you and your pops has a good time with that Tmaxx!
That's awesome, Dad and Son fun time. Like your vids lol.
Thanks!!
Another quality video! The TMaxx never gets old and is always exciting. My TMaxx has been having the same issues as well.
Thanks for the support!!! The tmaxx will never get old!!!
Why don’t you put the gen 3 slpper clutch by Robinson racing or there forward only kit
Just bought a t maxx 3.3 last week started with 30% VP nitro took me a little while to get it tuned right and running at 270-280 degrees and man does she scream. Great content man keep it up buddy!

Yup!! Nitros are always fun!!
Great video! Nitro gang 2spd babyyy! Although I have 2 tmaxx's one is 2spd and the other is forward only single speed conversion I bought that way, but still fun.
Sweet!! The 2 speeds are awesome but they can be a pain sometimes.

Yeah that will happen. But now it is running a lot better cause it’s warming up. Thanks for the suggestion.
3:49 reminds me of dogs in the back of a truck excited about today's adventure...
Good stuff! Gotta love Nitro🤟
You know what is a fun truck also? The Maxx.
I love my original Tmaxx 2.5 & 3.3 along with my new Tmaxx 3.3, but I picked up a Maxx last month & the thing is really cool.
Love my Xmaxx also
Yeah I was looking at one of those little beast. They are definitely on my list.
Sweet man! I have a 3.3 tmaxx and a classic tmaxx that was my dads that came with the trx .15, thing is probably almost 20 years old lol, that I also swapped for a 2.5r and I love that setup!
Sick!! Those trucks sound killer, we sure love ours!!
Man what I wouldn’t do for a bash spot like that.. I’m stuck running on soccer fields, a tiny skate park and the parking lot at my apartment.
Nice video man, mAkes me think about picking up a Slayer Pro again
When i replaced the Spur gear on my Tmaxx classic i put all 12 of the friction pegs. It helps last longer and gives a better adjustment.
"My antenna is bend,I"m sad" XD You made my day :-)
I"m afraid that I must add a T-MaXX to my current R/c fleet ,for some reason it seems like I"ve fallen in love with this nitro beast :-D
Heck yeah man!! Everyone needs at tmaxx!!🤣🤣
@@GoFastRC Thats true bro! I need to get one ,I have a 1:6 scale Gas Monstertruck ,but it"s simply different ,so i need additionally a lightweioght T-Maxx ,lover the sound when this beast is shiofting on your video
@@voneboy heck yeah dude!! The shifting and the sound/smell is what makes the tmaxx one of the funnest trucks to just drive.
@@GoFastRC ..But also his unique handling, I have allready drive the Savage,the Thundertiger with the big block,the Revo and the T-Maxx,I can say that the T-Maxx was by far the greatest driving experience of them all..

Loved the vid man I’m trying to get my tmaxx to shift into 2nd too! We’re getting there!
WHY NOT hope you get it man!!
@WHYNOT try tightening your slipper clutch that was my problem it wasn’t the transmission adjustment
I really like ya dad he’s hilarious mate
I love the associated banner.
enjoy the tmaxx content keep it up
right now think about to buy a t maxx 2.5 near new condition. greatings from germany
Dude that’s rad!! Greetings from California!
That "bash spot" looks like an impact from a huge meteor. What is that giant hole?
It’s a reservoir, for collecting water for the crops out in the field.
@@GoFastRC oh, ok... I was thinking the "Meteorite Men" would be out there with metal detectors looking for meteors if they saw that hole.
I have 3 tmaxxs two 2.5s and one 3.3 this video made me wanna build them
That’s so cool!! Glad to hear people are rebuilding tmaxxs!!
The only difference between the 2.5 and 2.5r is the blue head! Everything is the same otherwise, traxxas be scamming people for years with that!😂. Putting the 3.3 crankshaft in the 2.5 will make it run so much better though,its a direct fit.❤
I can’t decide between the T maxx and the slayer pro. What do you think?
Both are awesome trucks. With the tmaxx it will be able to handle tougher terrain and also jump better since it won’t parachute. It all depends on where your going to drive. If it’s tougher terrain then tmaxx all day. If it’s not that rough and your not going to be jumping then I think the slayer would be the better choice for that instance
So I’ve got a question: I’ve got an old tmaxx. 2.5. fully stock. Will it wheelie?
I love trxxas so so so much and traxxas is the best and they cool.
What front skid plate and bulkhead upgrade do you have ?
The skid plates are discontinued, but I am sure you can find something similar on Amain or Amazon. My bulkeds are just the stock 3.3 ones. But my dad has really nice aluminum ones from traxxas. Thanks for the support!!
You should be running all 12 slipper pegs. That should help it to not slip so much. Also tighten the nut down a little bit could help depending on how much you have it adjusted out.
Yeah I just tighten it almost all the way then back off a bit.
What do you mean your videos have no views? We’re exited when new ones come out!
Is that spur gear not supposed to move freely? I just picked up a 2.5 from a guy for free. Looks in really good shape and he said last time he drove it a couple years ago it ran but mine spins like that. I haven’t tried to start it yet though

Where is this location at. Me and my dad are looking for a bash spot

I miss my tmaxx got to get it running right now I am driving my old revo
Get that thing going! I am planning on getting a new revo and building it up pretty soon.
What do you like better Xmax or Tmax?
I honestly don’t know. The xmaxx is crazy big and crazy powerful plus you can get crazy air with it. But the tmaxx is really fun because of the sound, 2 speed shift, and the engine. I honestly love both trucks. I really don’t know which I like better. Thanks for the support!!🤙🤘
Also did you tighten or loosen your spur to get it to shift?
Haha yeah i did, but that was after I got done filming
@@GoFastRC you didn't answer the question dude....it's one or the other
Honestly, I love my Tmaxx a million times more than the Xmaxx 8s I got. I enjoy the nitro sound way more and think it handles better because of the weight. Leave Kev T out of YT, you barely see them on here, hahaha
How tight do you make your spur?
It’s the slipper clutch and I normally tighten it all the down (but not gorilla’d tight) then 1 full turn loose should be perfect
Tmaxx is the greatest RC truck of all times
Random question - are you in the Fresno area?
keep up the good work video was pretty good u guys need to get a tripod cam setup and u would have alot more useable footage and better shots
For sure. It’s just easier with the radio camera. 😃

Appreciate the comment!!
@@GoFastRC No problem. I enjoy your videos. Man I wish I had a place as good as you guys to run my revo. Be safe!
I like all traxxas rc trucks and all traxxas rc cars.
Just a heads up, your low speed needle is a little to rich. Try to run it and slowly lean it off while you do some low speed take offs
Lol yeah I know, it wasn’t a little rich it was WAY rich. Next time I run it I am going to lean it so it isn’t super sluggish. Thanks for the support!
t maxx 3.3 is the god.
t maxx 3.3 is the king.
they need to be hobbies shop ever where.
I also have a 2.5 that’s 13+ years old & a 11+ year old 3.3
Just snapped the front drive shaft on the 3.3 & because Traxxas beefed up those parts I can’t get a replacement anywhere on Earth.
And I am not buying a super old one for parts
Maybe I can just Kevin Talbot something as a replacement & shoe it in there...lol
Or just finally buy a new 3.3. Rather use that cash though for a Maxx...Decisions, decisions, decisions
Dang that sucks!! The new 3.3 is a beast, but the maxx is also a wicked cool truck... You have quite the decision my friend!!
Since i got my Tmaxx 3.3 these days i don’t run my Tmaxx pro.15 model any more. So I’ve upgraded to 2.5 specs. And soon it be on offer up app. If anyone want to buy ill post the link to it once it completed.
Arma fan boys with the 4 thumbs down I guess....Clowns
They’re just jealous they don’t have nitro....

Was that a Biden Harris sign ???
traxxas is the best
