First post on a Savage forum.....T-maxx build...... haha. Also woefully lacking of any details....

 

[Brandon Parker]

I bought a T-Maxx used it wasn't running when I got it I had to rebuild the motor and a carburetor and rebuild a diff and order some parts for it. But I got all rebuilt and went to break it in and my Spurs gear with stripped out

Awesome man! When I was trying to get my Tmaxx started (it had been in a box for 10 years) all I had needed was a new air filter, some fuel + fuel filter, new plug. Was thinking about a rebuild but decided to try that instead! Really nice little engine and super easy to tune. Happy Bashing!

How do you get to the low-speed needle with a gas tank in the way any suggestions

Ordered a set of turnbuckles for my T-Maxx and they were the wrong set they work for us 2.5 only I could use them as use the front ones in the back on my cut little bit of thread off in-ground the chef down so it would work

 

[Brandon Parker]

I'm having issues getting it to go into reverse

Check the reverse servo and make sure nothing is in the way, then if that's good check the reverse gear could be worn

They make em for the pro .15 still I'm sure you can get some. I recently got some and they worked fine, you may just have to thread them in quite far

Go over the top of the tank it sticks upwards not towards it, do some looking around with a flashlight I'm sure you'll find it

The gas tank is blocking the low-speed needle

Put a pic on here then. I would like to see this, and if you can just try and maneuver around the tank

Well I can see that, but your not showing the area of concern. You said you can't access the low speed needle but all you're doing is taking a picture of the truck. Get up close and show us where it is.

Well by the looks of it you can access it from the left side of the tank. We clearly have different pro .15 engines. For example my throttle linkage is on the right side of the truck. So I don't know how much help I can be anymore.

Have a question about Nitro fuel is it possible to cut the Nitro percentage in half I have a bottle of Traxxas 33% Nitro and little bit of bottle of 15% cool fuel a mix 2 - two ounces of 15% one ounce of 33% Nitro would that work

NEVER MIX FUEL NO NO NO

i have heard of people doing this, but I would not recommend mixing differing brands

 

[Brandon Parker]

What is. n fuel run it Ez

Nitro fuel is methanol,castor oil or some synthetic lubricant and nitro just as is used by Top Fuel drag race cars....

the main reason not to mix brands is you don't know if it will be good or bad and what it may affect..... so do so at your own risk to equipment and engine parts.......

Just got the part for my transformation spy gear shift arm and brake disc got a battery off of eBay and with charger for $14 the parts cost of 17.75

 

[Brandon Parker]

[Brandon Parker]

[Brandon Parker]
