Your videos inspired me to get a tmaxx classic 2.5. I love it. Great videos. Great rc historian for your age.

The Rcmax gang is here supporting The Nitro gang son!!! 😎

This just happened to me with my Tmaxx 3.3. Since I watched this video I knew what not to do. Thanks for taking one for the team hybrid!! This is how I removed it without breaking the backplate. I used an 18mm deep socket to place the backplate on, and used a punch to drive the one way bearing off. The socket allows the starter shaft to fall into in, but holds the backplate from moving. The socket puts the load on the round part of the backplate, instead of the flat sides like hybrid did. This allowed removal without breaking the backplate. Saved some $$$. Thank you hybrid for your videos they help a nitro noob a ton!!!

Brother thank you for the shout out! My mom was just happy as can be when she found that magazine for ya. She said you think Hybrid would like this hahha I knew you would! Great video man! I have no idea why anyone would dislike this!! 🤝🔧🔧🔧

He said nitro will never die..mine did every time the weather changed lol

I don't know man but nitro members are still here

Enjoyed the video. You the Nitro man! Cool one similar featured in the magazine. Thanks for the shoutout. Have a great day!

This happened to me and I had no idea what was going on thank you so much same thing new tmaxx classic just broken in stopped and wouldn’t come back to life thank you so much !!!’

Awesome video Dmitri!!! I always love watching you work on those nitro engines. Congratulations on 1 million views for your primal MT video!!!

I'm proud to be a member of the nitrogang . Nitro resistance baby ! 😎👍

Wow. Never thought I would see a stuck one way B. I only had a slipped bearing but not stuck. What a relief. I stay away from 2.5 from I heard they heat up quick but not the 2.5R. 3.3 I like better and my .12 OS red head.

I finally got back in to RC and the T Maxx was my first choice.

Great video! I love the repair videos.

Great video mate I hope the tmaxx is fixed. I have uploaded a couple of videos on my channel about my nitro car there not long video's though.

Cool fix and video

Just bought 3 HPI Savage 1/8 scale, love the sound.

Just picked up my first T Maxx today I think I like nitro man been following your content... Nitro Gang🎉🎉

I had a T-Maxx 3.3 and the same thing happened about 1 tank after break-in. Pain in the ass.

i have only gas 1/5 now but i missed my original nitro rc days when i was 15 so i went and got revo 3.3 this year glad i did brings memories

My local hobby shop owner, here in Rochester NY, told me that traxxas is the one nitro engine you have to break-in precisely according to the instructions

Been in this hobby for 13years. Shift from nitro to electric to gas and now nitro again. I missed the tinkering. Fixing etc. Now i am into racing, buggies truggies. And yes nitro baby!

Good info brother!

2 speed baby 👊👊👍, loved this video, it was so satisfying watching how easy that engine came out, amazing, I now zero apprehension of having to do the same, should the need arise

Sometimes what happenes in rtr backplate starting systems, in a worse case scenario, the one way bearing and shaft that connects to the connecting rod will vibrate and come lose and hit the connecting rod. Sometimes breaking the starting shaft and sending pieces of metal all over inside the engine. Sometimes even snapping the connecting rod. In this case it looks like only the one way bearing failed. Avoid excessive rpms from a bad tune and you should be fine. Sometimes this happens too; from excessive pressure from flooding the engine, Sometimes they’ll even just do it anyways, I’ve seen some engines get destroyed by this. It happened to me before with a old KE .25 that I had with a pull-start on it. It never happened to me on a hpi .25 with a backplate starter, (only one-bearing failure from use) so not all backplate starting systems are bad. On some of the monster trucks there’s no other way to start it

Great video! Love the t maxx

Another great vide Tony boy 👊😜👍

Use a large soldering iron to heat up the part that you need to expand homie, throwing this whole thing in the oven is just expanding all the parts at the same rate thus normally not loosening anything, good video

At least it wasn't the motor but what an annoying problem to have on a new rc. I've had one way bearings go but never seize to the shaft. Great repair for a nitro gang member.

Haha, perfect timing! Just ran my tmaxx with my friend's MGT.

wound up swapping my s-maxx with the original 2.5 and ez start to a 2.5r with pull start

NITROGANG! Let's keep it around forever!!!

When dealing with issue's like that metal on metal use a torch because heat make's metal expand so you only want to heat the one piece you want to remove by doing that the piece will expand off of the other if you heat it all up then all part's will expand and it won't work

Cool clip...

Hay bro, have a quick question, on your 3 channel flysky transmitter. Does it have a Fail-Safe? I put a arrma mega system in a very old hydro boat, and am using flysky like yours. If I turn off remote it goes wide open. And we all know that's not good.

Honestly people should just steer clear of Traxxas nitros man. All the common issues are north worth 400-500 bucks. I just broke in my friend's Inferno ST today and he has been running it all day long without issues!

Congratulations to ya!!!!

Reliability issues is the only thing that stops me buying traxxas and hpi products,I've found kyosho are pretty good reliability wise

One way bearing on the easy start shaft just had mine go on my Revo 3.3 the easy starts are a power tiller and have more issues than good

Wait for the 3rd part 😁😁😁 she is pretty dam good!

At about $500 everything is ready to go and fueled to have plastic gears in the transmission is pretty crazy

Hey bro your friends traxxas looks like your blue tamiya the old one bro with the pressure pump on the gas tank and your tmaxx looks sweet bro its supper high like a monster truck you should put a big block or a nice alpha 28

I miss my nitros I have a tmaxx .15 and I love that truck

I got the nitro itch from this! Sadly my tmaxx snapped a rod. 3.3

You should replace the starter motor because if it was engaging the starter motor the whole time it probably wore down the brushes in the starter motor

I bought a wpl b36 and I put some new metal driveshafts on it and even when i screw em on i even em on the flat side of the shaft. What is wrong with it the truck is brand new

nitrogang or fucking nothing 😎💯 i love ur vids man more then any other rc channel , iv been in nitro since i was 11 and am now 20 . keep it up buddy 💯 chase the dream

So that is a common issue the one way bearing fail , humm i wonder if that was maybe also what was causing the stutter ? I really would like to see you go back to the red cat ?

Actually they came out in 1998 i still have mine i put an xtm extended 21 conversion kit and twin megatech .16 engines! It pulls the front wheels when it shifts into 2nd gear

I officially hate 1way berrings. There is one on my losi lst that is used for the 1st gear and it completely seized half way through a tank and it stripped out my low speed spur gear. Had this issue before on my dad's lst. Now mine now has the issue. No problem though. Have the berrings here just need the spur Wich it like 5$ but i couldn't drive my car with my friends camping this weekend

The email is the EXACT words found in the manual lol

Yo this is the fellow gang Nigel member Jezzee RC I will make some video soon and eventually get a Tmax what happen with that transmission was in the starting assembly the easy start one of the screws came loose a little bit and block the whole flow of the engine and starter for moving other than that it’s a great reliable engine and car truck let’s get some videos of the MGT 8.0 as well love you brother I’m still breathing and drinking and eating the nitro day and night nitro love forever piece

You would hope traxxas paid for the parts as it was a new purchase,

is there post to be a washer behind the oneway bearing

Hi nitro gang I'm a nitro dave from across the pond my tmaxx is original I've had it over 20 years and still going strong only one problem the shell is knackered anyone got one thanks guys

Wassup nitrogang!

New channel name "Cooking with Hybrid32494"

He should actually call the traxxas help line you get a tech person and usually they tell you to mail the motor to them. But traxxas customer service is junk.

Nitrogang!

GO ELECTRIC LIL G!

I got out of nitro RC, cars became a money pit. I'd fix one thing and something else would go the same day. I don't bash my truck either.

One-way bairing. Thats what happened to me

👍🏻

Just sitting here rebuilding an engine wishing it was nitro

NITRO GANG T Maxx baby

Traxxas has always treated its customers badly

Just curious, you said he was breaking the engine in, but it looked more like a bash session to me 🤔 fill me in #nitrogang

what's up Tony

I run nitro jato 3.3 baby 🤠

I LIKE TRAXXAS T MAXX AND TOP FUEL

I have a TMaxx pro 15

TRAXXAS TOUGH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey man, you gotta finish that revo 3.3 seized motor. Or I’m un subscribing Jk 😁 Nitro gang!

Traxxas Has a program where you can give them your old motor and you get one for $100. I thought you would know That nitro gang. Call traxxas as you can get one for a 100 bucks. You are welcome.

Nitro pizza

I can do it in a minute no joke

Traxxas has one of the worst customer services and Traxxas motors are complete JUNK! Although that being said, the 3.3 does make sick power while it last. NITRO is KING 👑

First

Using a nitro is the equivalent to being that guy with acura Integra with a loud big ass muffler thinking your cool with blue h.i.d's.!!
