The T-Maxx is basically a get your feet wet model but with some time and careful strategy you can make it one formidable basher...It took 5 months of bashing and a bit of carnage repair to get my T-Maxxes in a really reliable state ...
I have 6 T-Maxxes...each different in every way and all run good...3 still have the 3.3 and 1 has a twin 3.3...All are still running strong and past the 6 gallon mark each...
I do a sensible break-in on each brand new engine aswell as do a rigorous after run regimine to my nitro engines after and during by changing the airfilter every tank fill to ensure maximum life which seems to work for me pretty well and ill never change that strategy either
The first thing I noticed that they are hard to keep in tune and fuel level contradicts tuning as the level depletes...
My simple solution to the situation was to enhance the fuel flow to the carb by modding the tank by flowing more fuel....
I guess its all a matter of how you look at things and how you approach a deficiency with a simple solution...
For me I have many hobbies and one is modifying pocketbikes of all types and found they all suffer from fuel deficiencies and figured that situation to be eminent aswell
The flow of the tank is horrible I came to find out after filling it with water and timing it to see how long it took to completely drain
What I found was it took a bit over 3 1/2 minutes to drain and the flow started out pretty strong and at half tank the flow got repugnantly anemic like it was dribbling out...
After stretching open the fuel output hole open and drilling open the puffer nipple in both the tank top and the exhaust pipe too I wanted to add but the tank darained in half the time and the flow remained strong throughout the evacuation...
After reinstalling the tank in my T-Maxx it ran way different,,tuning was way better and enjoyability was enhanced 10 fold when it wasnt cutting out from overheating or losing its tune too much and killing glowplugs anymore..
