Hey guys!! This is what you should do first when your tmaxx is not shifting. It has worked for me most of the time and I think this could help you guys out. Hope this helps!

Ok Edgar, I’m giving this a go tomorrow. My first gen Tmaxx 2.5 is shifting too late so I’ll go “counter” clockwise just a tiny bit and will make smaller adjustments if necessary. Hope this works because all I’ve been running nitro wise is my first gen Tmaxx 3.3 and the new Tmaxx 3.3 I bought last year. I want to hear that 2.5 be perfect again. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Let me help you out with this Edgar Blind screw that you are connected to is the 1 that holds the gear assembly to the shaft that is not the 1 for the Engagement dog leg

Just changed the spur gear on my jato. Was shifting fine with the stock one. Stuck in first after the new one. Temperature running at 170 and doesn’t go up even when I lean it out any advice?

Hey Sr, good evening, sorry to bother you, I always dreamed with a nitro car and i bought a smash one, after a lot of work, i finally restore it completely, now i am dealing with some final issues, the only one to take care about it is that i can turn it on, it accelerate but it it doesn't run, it looks like the gear box doesn't work, you think that what you explain in this video could work for my car?

No that’s for shifting from low to high, sounds like you might have a bad clutch or maybe something is messed up in the transmission
@JonathanGarciaRxc2 жыл бұрын
Yes! Its a problem with the clutch, apparently it's not engaging the transmission

So if there are 2 screws, how do you tell which screw is which, and Can you mess it up by loosening the shift-point screw too much? My bro's tranny is also having some problems I heard
@GoFastRC3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, if you loosen it to much it could also get stuck in second gear. But you also have a chance of loosening the set screw, and if you do that you have a chance to loosen it off the shaft.

Hey so I got a new tmaxx 3.3 I just broke it in and for someone reason my car went full scream mode round around the same time I stripped the spur gear like maney a few seconds after. Is there any reason as to why that is ? Mabey make a video on it ? Thanks
@GoFastRC Жыл бұрын
That one im not 100% sure on. Put another spur gear on and check the mesh. Like take the transmission out and put the new spur on so that way you can see how the mesh was when it went psycho. If its loose then that might be what happened, or it could be your slipper clutch giving out. Other than that i couldnt tell you.

The shift point adjustment is inside the transmission. There is a tiny hole on the transmission. You can get to it from there.

Ok I have a update, so I checked the screw on the transmission and it’s all the way in. So that is why it won’t shift!!
@GoFastRC3 жыл бұрын
Honestly I would take the transmission out and crack it open because I have made the mistake of loosening the actually shifting mechanism from the shaft, instead of the shift point. So I woud just double check it isnt the set screw that holds on te shifting mechanism.
