Traxxas T Maxx 3.3 Monster Truck Questions & Answers
Starts but wont stay running
how new is the truck...if its still brand new the motor usally needs a break in time or a rich fuel so that the piston and sleeve seat properly...or if it was run too lean for too long the sleeve needs replaced...or carb settings we will work through what we can..to get it going..
Won't run
i had one of these, and it is easy to blow the motor, I was very careful when breaking it in when new, it really hauled, my friend also bought one, he was not so careful (wanted to race it right away) and he blew his engine, it started doing the same things you describe, he sold his to me, I rebuilt engime, it ran good as new until the day I sold it. you can purchase a new cylinder, crank, & piston at hobby town last I knew
My one justed smoke's out of the eningine can
You want there to be some smoke........if it isn't smoking then you are to lean. If the smoke is heavy, then you are to rich. Keep more of an eye on the temperature of the engine as it will do more damage if left unchecked.
Traxis tmax2.5 hard to sstart
Try replacing the glow plug. Make sure that it is seated properly and that all connections are good, strong and tight. Also make sure that you have a good seal on the combustion chamber, and that there are no leaks or restrictions in the intake or exhaust. Hope this helps
New purchase, unable to get
Is the glow plug working? Is the fuel jet opened enough to allow sufficient fuel? New engines can be difficult at first, and fast repetative pulls will be required (unless you have a battery start)
My Traxxas T Max 3.3 engine starts but my truck
i just had this problem with my tmaxx 3.3,was driving it and heard a pop and no more drive,would justroll a bit at a time while the rpms were racing higher and higher.looked at everything and looked fine.took the transmission apart and looked fine also.tried to hold the spur gear to see if it was strong with turning the tires,could feel a slip with it as i turned it,there is a pin that holds the gear to the shaft and it broke inside the gear replaced all is good now,happy racing
