I wonder if maybe the flywheel wasn't on right from Traxxas and that's why I had issue's leaning it out and it bogging down and not shifting. I also noticed temps skyrocketing after one or two pulls like right after the break in period, maybe it was binding up or catching. I'll have to take the motor out so I can get the flywheel off and see. Thanks for the help.
I would recommend you take a good look at .tit. I never assume a RTR is ready to race. I have well over 10 Tmaxx's all second hand and inspected everyone. For the most part they were close but all need minor adjustments. The carb settings are close to the recommended factory settings, but I have learned to open them more to find the best settings with the fuel I use. I have electric but hate waiting for battery packs to charge. Nitro has a longer leering curve but is fun one you get it. Rember richer is better for nitro than leaning it out. Hope you get it running again.
