thought i would start a thread on my t-maxx. i did one with my rustler. i got a t-maxx 3.3 last friday in trade for my rusty. im in the process of trying to get it tuned. so far i added a exhaust deflector to keep the crap from spraying on the chasis. i also got blue aluminum integy front bulkhead. i put on blue rpm a-arms up front. thats about it so far. many many more things to come! heres some pics-

Looks nice....think you got a deal there!

yea, im loving this thing. im just trying to get the d*mn thing tuned right. one minute i think ok, its good. then it does something else. trying to set the lsn,hsn and idle. this is my first nitro, so its all new territory.

close everything and start from scratch as the manual says u can get the manual frm traxzas site aswell.

i have like twice. im close. just when i give it full throttle it bogs sometimes. or after running it fast, and i come to a stop after it idles down it stalls sometimes.

They are finicky motors, but once tuned run pretty well. It's much better on a Tmaxx than Revo IMO. enjoy it! looks good.

Sounds like your LSN is too fat. If it bogs out of the hole with lots of smoke and sounds like it wants to die out it's too rich. Lean it out, your idle will go up so you just turn it down. You want to lean it until you get that nice launch with no hesitation. Turn your idle down or "out" until it's got a nice low idle or where you like it.

Make LSN adjustments like 5 min on a clock, very small adjustments while tuning.

If it starts bogin on the top end while you are at a wide open throttle (WOT), thats a lean bog, you would have to turn your HSN out or open.

It's a engine Einstein, not a motor.

Thats what I was forgetting! My Savage has been doing the same thing with the Axial 28 1S in there. I knew it was something simple, but I just couldn't figure out why it wanted to bog from the holestart. I'll have to remember to make that adjustment when I get my gearbox fixed! Thanks for the advice, even though not directed at me!

ok, yea i looked at some videos on youtube with peoples car bogging at wot and people said it was to lean. i will richen it up a bit. and it takes off good out of the hole. i mean it pulls the wheels off the ground. but its like if i let it idle to long then get on it it bogs. so i'll lean out the lsn a bit and try that. thanks.

ok got some new upgrades. i got the rear done with the blue alum. pivot ball caps. still need 4 for the front. i got the blue alum. wheel hexes. blue alum. steering servo mounts. and the mip clutch shoes.

I am not sure what you run for fuel. If it is Traxxas throw it out your window. I had TONS of tuning issues and inconsistent running with it and then I was told to use Byron race fuel. I will never go back! I couldn't even make a main when I was racing it with Traxxas fuel but now its no problem! Also tune it with the tank full so it is not higher than the carb. If higher, it forces fuel into the carb and makes it run rich at first then lean out as it runs. If you tune it with the tank below the carb just fill it up and let it run rich at first! good luck!

hey guys,im wanting to sell my tmaxx because its not for me but it is awesome,where would you reccomend selling it and how much??? here is a link where im selling it now and theres a pic http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=693696

when i got the truck the guy gave me a $15 bottle of traxxas fuel. i ran that out and im now using byron 20%. yea i always try to keep the tank full. im still messing with it, but im pretty close on the tune. i mean its only 45-50 degrees most the time.

you can post it in the for sale forum here. and try ebay. i think the price sounds good.
