Trucks Rebuilding my T-Maxx

[Tony]

You really want to put shock oil in them. For a T-Maxx, you should start with either 30 or 40 weight oil.

 

[Brandon Parker]

Found a rustler T-Maxx for $40

 

[Brandon Parker]

Correction I found a Losi Nitro powered buggy the name is rtr

 

[Brandon Parker]

Having issues steering rack

 

[Brandon Parker]

just got the motor back together for my T-Maxx

 

[Brandon Parker]

Almost done with the truck Raptor motor rebuild got all 4 tires on almost done songs left off and put a few parts on

 

[Brandon Parker]

Having issues getting the motor running trying to start

 

[Tony]

best thing I can tell you is to check the manual and set the low and high needles to the factory locations and try it there. If you still have issues, replace the glow plug.

 

[Brandon Parker]

Could no air filter on the carburetor cause it not to run right cuz I don't have one I need to order one

 

[Tony]

No, it will still run without a filter, but you need to get a filter before you run it outside.

 

[Brandon Parker]

Getting fuel to the carburetor my glow plug igniter does not work all the time and when I started it have to put down on a glow igniter Conflict for about 5 to 6 minutes but never no smoke

 

[Brandon Parker]

Can the wrong glow plug in the engine cause it not to run right because right now I have a hot glow plug in it the manual calls for a medium glow plug

 

[Tony]

a hot glow plug requires a very lean mixture to stay running. not good for the engine. Put a medium in it.

 

[Brandon Parker]

That's my whole problem with glow plug the one that starts it just fizzled out and that's it thank you have to order a new glow plug medium

 

[Brandon Parker]

Thinking about buying a Traxxas EZ start system 2 glow plugs and batteries or I can buy a glow igniter and 2 glow plugs

 

[Brandon Parker]

Have a question about Nitro fuel I have a bottle of cool fuel15% I have a bottle of what Traxxas 30% Nitro which bottle should I use

 

[Tony]

The higher the nitro methane content, the more power you will create, but you will also create more heat and shorten the life of the engine. If you want it to last, use the 15%.

 

[Brandon Parker]

Finally got my T-Maxx .15 engine started

 

[Tony]

That is fantastic news Brandon!

 

[Brandon Parker]
