Alright - since I have gotten back into the hobby, my 2.5 T-Maxx has had a few changes. Yesterday, I installed a brand new Dynamite 19T Mach 2 engine with new Traxxas pull start (going to try this over the EZ-start), a Dynamite air filter, new suitable THS performance exhaust system, and a Dynamite electronic failsafe. Weather in NYC is just starting to warm up and would like to break in the new motor on a nice sunny 70+ degree day (Adam Drake engine break in method).

Bringing my old 2.5 T-Maxx Back to Life!
Although I think the engine is worn out and needs to be replaced, I am having a lot of fun trying out different things to squeeze out any remaining life. Took it apart and cleaned it pretty good. Using budget minded fixes where needed and testing the results is a lot of fun. Really enjoying the tinkering as much as the driving! Will be updating with what I have done so far. What a great hobby.
