tmaxx problem
#1
i have a problem with my t maxx. i have the stock pipe on and after i run the truck there is a puddle of gas on the chassis. i know its from the pipe because theres a small gap in it. i have tried assembling the pipe back together and it looks sealed but it still leaks some gas. i know there will always be some fuel around on a nitro vehicle but this is more than usual. does ne1 know what i could do. thanks

If it isn't coming from the pipe, you might have a loose coupler that is leaking fuel out. The most common one I have seen is not putting a gasket between the motor and header after taking it off. That is sure to make a hell of a mess.

I had some trouble on the inlet to the exhaust. The metal actually got so hot, that it melted the plastic. Makes sure nothing is melting on you. And, yes, get a new pipe ASAP, you'll be very happy.

I used to haev that promblem. first try to find a hole in the pipe or anything like that if that dos not work then you should try to take te pipe out and there will be a screw in the back of the pipe just titen it and you are all set
