Hey guys and gals just wanted to say whats up, I'm pretty new to the RC scene don't even own one yet, but am the winning bid so far on a 3.3 T-Maxx... I am currently using a buddy of mines RC10GT, messed around with his original T-Maxx with .18 OS motor. After driving the T-Maxx I know I want a monster truck.
I'm 27, living in Homer Glen, am a total car nut, thus the username. Mechanic by trade, hoping to open a late model GM specialty speed shop one day with a good friend of mine.

Welcome to the forums bud! Sorry I couldn't hand you my Maxx. I tested it out today and had trouble getting the motor started anyways so I'm not sure if it would have been a good choice for you. Keep on ebay, craigslist, and RC forums and you will see lots of T-maxx's. Have patience and get a deal that you will be happy with  Oh, and make sure you get one of the newer ones (3.3). They are beefed up more than the older ones. Thats a good rule to stick with anyways with Traxxas. Go for the newer models.

Well the REVO got here on Thursday, ended up putting RPM A-Arms all the way around, along with the red aluminum Traxxas pushrods and toe rods. Tore the engine all the way down because I could not get it to idle right no matter what changes I made to the idle screw or LSN(it was also leaking, causing me to believe there was an airleak). Was running it around the yard starting to get it dialed in when the throttle servo went out on it. Guess I will be making another stop at the Orland Hobbytown to pickup a servo tomorrow.

SOOOO I am having some problems with this thing dying out after running it for a few minutes. I am not sure what is going on. Seems like if I get on the brakes real hard it dies out, its not the carb closing all the way I have already checked that. I have replaced the fuel tank(leaking around the seams), fuel lines(preventative maintenance), removed the engine and resealed the rear cover plate. I am kind of hoping someone that really knows nitros would like to maybe meet up some where either Thursday, Friday or Saturday and give me a hand figuring out what might be causing this? Let me know!

Well no matter what I changed I couldn't get it to run right, so I pulled the engine today to reseal the front as I had previously done the back cover. When I pulled the clutch off it came off in like 3 peices so I think that may be why it would die randomly. Part of the clutch would grab and kill the motor. We will see tomorrow maybe....
