    $20 ebay roll cage

    I have never had my cage bend, but them screws you talk of, those have broken on me, or at least bent making them a pain to take out, i modified it so i did not need a screw and nut, i don't know if yours is like that, mine took two screws on front and two on back, and they all took nuts witch...

    Fail safe.

    I don't know, sorry i didn't even notice your second message lol, yeah the blinking red should mean it is ready to be programmed, and i don't know much about the engine you talk of, i only have experience with smaller engines, my maxx goes pretty fast i was out twice today with it in the snow...

    Fail safe.

    No problem, and you don't want to hold the throttle, you want to hold the brakes, turn on car and remote, apply brakes to where you want them to engage to once the fail safe kicks in witch i would just max out the brakes, then holding the brakes on hold the button down on the fail safe for a few...

    Fail safe.

    Well I'm having a hard time finding the manuals, but i will keep searching for yah, and no, i have a t-maxx, the race guard i have is made by dynamite, it is currently fried but i remember reading some of the manual, just trying to find it right now to kinda re-cap...:) I found this, hope it...

    Fail safe.

    If I'm correct, witch you can find info on google and youtube, there should be a small button, and there is something you need to do with the remote, and then hold down the button for so many seconds, if i am correct, you want to hold the breaks to the amount you plan to use then hold the button...

    tmaxx wont stay running

    Is your clutch good? When you try to start it does it try to walk away? If you constantly have to prime it, it is not getting much fuel, witch would mean it is too lean, or if once it dies it is flooded out, then you are too rich, what is the engines condition once it dies? Is it really hot with...

    Thought it was tuned... Wrong! HELP!

    I only know cause i went through it not too long ago, i got quite irritated myself when it kept dying every time it stopped haha. :)

    Battary question

    That sounds like the battery is definitely fried, I'm guessing it is a NI-CD battery, most battery's you see they say to run them completely dead before charging, or give them a tinker charge every so often, if this is not practiced then the battery will get fried, see NI-CD actually have whats...

    traxxas transmitter problems? am27mhz

    I would agree with the possible moister thing, with my experience in other radios i would take a guess at that! :)

    stretching suspension springs??

    Awesome I'm going to check them out, yeah i don't mind the spacers at all think they are great but right now it takes as many spacers that will fit to keep the maxx up and don't have the best of luck with the jumps with them being that soft and i even take the spacers out when it sits and put it...

    stretching suspension springs??

    I remember reading up on a thread about there suspension springs being soft, and was wondering, how exactly would be the best way to stretch them out? I would imagine some heat would be applied and just a matter of stretching them out, but maybe someone has a good tip or technique on how to do...

    snapping drive shafts

    I have to say, reading this hole thread is odd! i run the original 2.5maxx mostly stock outside of the engine, and i launch it, burnouts, cookies, with the slipper tightened right down, posy rear end, and two tires that weigh about 3 pounds due to all the screws i put in them for ice, had it out...

    New Cage first run.

    Yeah i was going to try and make a video cause i have a video camera just never tried to make a video haha, my slipper is a 72 count, and not sure about the clutch bell i know it is a high torque i think it is more in my tranny cause left and right i blow the tranny that came with it 2-speed...

    hay and help me with tmaxx

    I would think 50+ would be good, i think it is more the freezing weather that people worry about, most would suggest putting a sock on the engine or something to keep it warm, if you wanted to break it in like a pro, you can buy a on-board temp gauge that tells you the temp of the engine, and if...

    Thought it was tuned... Wrong! HELP!

    That would be my guess, i broke a clutch spring the other day and same thing you describe, the clutch stays engaged, and it will drive if you run with it and don't stop haha, but once you stop it will die if the clutch is bad cause it is engaged it is the weight of the vehicle holding the engine...

    hay and help me with tmaxx

    Did you look at that manual?? Page-33 has the break in procedure, the one in the manual is the one i have always been told to use, a 5-tank break in, check out the graph on that page of the manual, it tells you how much throttle on witch tank to give it, and for how many seconds, i have always...
