Where did all this drivel about insulting someone's intelligence come from? All I've ever said was you are giving wrong advice on how to go about troubleshooting a shifting problem on the t-maxx, and ignoring the possibility that based on your advice someone could turn a 5 minute job into a few hours of having to take out their transmission and open it up to fix something that was not a problem until they followed your advice.

Since it's obvious your ego won't let you quit on this dick head bumping contest no matter how wrong you are, I give up, you win. Give all the wrong advice you want. I'm sure those who suffer because of it will be ever so grateful.

well mister know it all... you think you have it pegged dont you. for one you dont have to take the tranny off the truck, or slip the case. damn thats why there is that little hole on the top of the tranny. why dont you pay attention to your work more carefully before you start telling people wrong advise and making a 5 min job into an hour job. because all it takes to fix this guys problem is an allen wrench and about 15 mins if that. so watch your tounge there mister know it all.

stripgears
 

i dont think i can get wrong of replacing the gears inside 'coz there's only one size that can be fit inside the center transmission the 28t and 26t for both gears and same part# and also theres no way of meshing gears,if you put that both gears inside its all sitting intact there,and the bearings is all in good condition.does anybody have a guess whats wrong in always stripping gears in primary fwd(28T)and forward only(26) gears?

by the way thanks to you advice,just need some more great ideas...:D:lol::tire:

it was just a thought i dont mess with the tranny to much just with the shift points and the forward only gears. is there enough lube inside there? could you be getting them too hot and just breaking them or something? just a thought maybe

In truth I should be thanking you for all this wrong advice you insist on giving out. It's clueless knobs giving bad advice who keep my work bench (and wallet) full, so please keep it up. My racing habit is fully supported by the money I make fixing problems know-it-all jerks create with their bad advice. I made enough last year to pay for my racing and still had enough left over at the end of the year to buy a new MMGT to play with.

As for your latest rant, what you are missing, or don't know due to of lack of experience with older maxx trucks is the the second set screw found on older model black transmissions holds the two speed clutch to the shaft rather than it being pinned on like the later versions.

If a new guy doesn't know this and loosens the the wrong set screw his transmission has to come out and be split to get it back right, BEFORE he will be able to adjust his shift point using the correct set screw. You have failed to mention this second set screw or the potential for the major problems associated with messing with it in any of your posts.

Since I have mentioned this more than once and you have missed it every time, you must also suffer from reading comprehension problems as well as lack of experience with older maxx transmissions.

Why else would you continue to make a fool of yourself by ignoring this very real problem found in older t-maxx black transmissions?

You also assure the guy he has no tuning problem which is the first thing he should be looking at BEFORE he needs to worry about shift point adjustment as a bad tune keeping the engine from reving high enough is by far the most common cause of 2 speed shifting problems in both the t-maxx and revo.

With a .21 it's going to be tough to keep gears in your truck. The older the transmission is the harder this will be. The maxx transmission has undergone several factory upgrades over the years, all in an effort to make it stronger and less problematic, but short of the latest revo-tec (gray case) version found in the 3.3 maxx, none of the other versions are really up to handling .21 power. If you are operating you truck on a high traction surface like asphalt or concrete, you are only increasing your chances of gutting your transmission no matter which maxx gearbox you have.

There are however a couple of things you can do to help minimize this problem.

Starting with your slipper, put 12 pucks in the slipper gear and adjust it so it's not locked down or overly tight. Pucks from earlier versions of the AE MGT (AE P/N 25042), work better than the traxxas pucks so replace your stockers with the AE pucks if you can get them. They will give you a much more adjustable slipper than the traxxas pucks so you can loosen your slipper a bit to help reduce shock loads to your transmission on jump landings which is where the greatest loads are placed on your driveline. Even better would be to get a pad type slipper like the Strobe or Robinson. The latest version of the MGT has a dual disk slipper which would also be good if it will fit the maxx. I haven't tried this yet, but I know you can use the puck type MGT slipper gears on a maxx so maybe the dual disk AE slipper would also fit the maxx input shaft as well.

Next is your engine clutch, set it up so it comes in at lower RPM. Do this by using softer springs and composite shoes. Depending on how heavy your truck is you may get some low end slippage, but it shouldn't be too bad and this little bit may be all you need to save your transmission gears.

If none of the above works, it's time to start hunting some steel transmission gears. Robinson makes some for the maxx, but I don't know if they are for the older version or if they will only work in the revo-tec (gray) maxx trans.

You could also consider upgrading to the revo-tec maxx transmission. It's much tougher than the older gearboxs, but will still fold like a cheap suit behind a hot rod big block. it should however handle an RG just fine. If you go the revo-tec route you will also have to upgrade your center driveline to revo-tec parts as the brake rotor mounts differently on the gray gearbox than it does on the black one.

@fhm555

thanks bro for a nice tips,try to do it if i have time finding the ae mgt parts,but right now i'm already using the rrp steel dual disc slipper kit and i think i set it to a medium tight,anyway i'll consider your tips thanks again bro....:p:D:tire::lol:

No prob......always happy to help if I can.
