Hi. Noob first post. I picked up a used T-MAXX. The engine has "2.5" on the side of the block. How do I know if it s a regular 2.5 or a 2.5R?
Also, it was not in the best of shape. I watched Tony's videos about teardown, rebuilding, and buildup. A couple of questions...
1) Tony mentions to place the shocks into the middle position. There are three positions on the top of the shock tower, but there are four positions on the arms. Which is middle for the arms? Would it be the second one inboard, or outboard? Also, he said that he would set the gear mesh when he installed the engine, but there was no more on this part. Can anyone describe adjusting the mesh? Would it be engaged, yet not binding? I also noticed on the carb (the part in the vid where he puts on the fuel lines) that his fuel inlet on the carb is pointed a different direction than mine. Can I just move it?
I had to buy a pair of shocks. I found that one was of a different type of body and was leaking. Found some ultra shocks (grey body) from Tower Hobbies. Is that a good place for parts?
I will probably have more questions when I get close to firin' this thing up.
