Default New to RC, picked up a T-Maxx some questions..

Hey guys I finally picked up a RC truck, the 2.5 Tmaxx. I love it but have a few issues I bet some of you might of had.

First problem was the reverse would not engage while the car was running, I looked up a few things on the net and looked into the high idle and that was not the problem. I did not want to mess with the linkage so I had the guy at the hobby shop fix it and it worked great. While there he also adjusted the engine and it worked great there.

I get home and break it out and it was great but always stalled at idle or brake. So I end up bringing it in and he fixed it then when I get home the same thing it would stall at idle, guess he kept it going at the shop.

Finally I got the thing to idle without stalling by playing with the trim button on the radio. I just had to find a happy median between not stalling and being slow enough to go from forward to reverse.

I don't like the fact that 2 small slicks of the radio trim button can F it all up, is something setup wrong?

I'm totally new to the hobby, I love it and want to learn as much as possible anything is welcome!

hold it in the air while it going? do the wheels spin? and when you put it on the ground does it stall then?
if so the clutch might not be disengaging and stalling the motor.
need little mroe info on when it stalls like ie is it hot cold?
