My memory is horrible so you are going to have to remind me of the issue that you had. If you have it fixed now though, no need to let me know lol.

The diff in the t-maxx that I rebuilt was the same way. It was just slightly tight so I left it. Normally, it would not grind unless you put pressure on it a certain way. I thought about shimming it or trimming the case to relieve the pressure, but again, I just left it.

I just tightened the ring gears all the way down and no more grinding

Hi i have another problem the fuel wont go in the fuel line into the carburetor like there isn’t enough pressure for the fuel tank plz help me

The engine should at least be able to pull the fuel in due to the venturi effect. If it is not, then you either have a clog in the tank, line or carb.

I'd check that there is suction at the air intake by holding your finger on it while starting. If it is then it's as Tony says. Pull the carb and clean it by soaking in rubbing alcohol then make sure all ports are open.

That's what I'd do. Maybe there is a better way. Check Tony's YouTube channel for his recent videos on the tmaxx. There is one about the carb.

I already did everything I cleaned it and nothing thinking its the carb

Probably going to be a needle setting then if there is no trash in the carb. I don't know the settings so Tony will have to help you with that.

Good luck!

If your thinking it, then pull it out and do it. Like Jared stated, I have a video on rebuilding the carb on our channel.

When you get it running grab a video and share it with us! I'd love to see it.

Tony loves to bust my chops for not recording any video. One day I'll post a video and he will sustain injury from FOOMCLMAO!!!
