Traxxas T-Maxx 2.5
In this video we go through and set up the suspension on the truck. This includes Ride Height, Camber and Toe In. Caster is where the manual told us to put it and is adjusted via the clips in the upper control arms.
It's time to get this truck programmed into the Spektrum DX3R Pro transmitter.

You know we are getting close when we install the engine into the chassis and set the gear mesh. In this video, not only do we install the engine and set the mesh, but we also replace that metal spur gear with a plastic spur gear, replace the clutch bell that the metal spur chewed up, but we...

This is a *COMPLETE* Shock Rebuild Tutorial, So it is a very long video. Much longer than my usual videos. But I go through every single step of the process of rebuilding the shocks on this T-Maxx 2.5. If you want to see a step by step How-To on rebuilding shocks with bladders, this is it...
Suspension setup is one of the most important things you can do to have a predictable vehicle. In this video, I show you, in depth, how I clean and adjust the suspension arms to get them ready to install back on the chassis. I also include a quick little setup tip to save yourself time in the...
I knew there was something wrong with this diff as soon as I turned it in the teardown video. I have had this happen before so I went ahead and picked up a new kit to rebuild it.
This is an in depth video of the Rear Diff Rebuild so it is a little longer than my usual videos. Since the diff rebuilds were so long, I broke them up into two separate videos.
When the T-Maxx launched around the turn of the century, the two speed with reverse transmission on a nitro powered truck was something that people had never seen. But because it had a smaller engine than it really needed, having those two speeds was quite nice. And being able to flip into...
In the last video, we tore down this transmission and cleaned up the case. In this video, we are going to be putting this transmission back together. I'm not just talking about taking the gear sets and putting them back in, I'm talking about taking a completely torn apart transmission, gear sets...
In the last T-Maxx series, this is one part that I skipped over since there was nothing wrong with the transmission. Over the coming years, people have shown that seeing the transmission is pretty important. So in this video I will tear this transmission apart and get it cleaned up. In the next...
Ah yes, the inevitable part of every rebuild, the tear down. The time when you can look at individual parts and find out what is wrong with the truck you just purchased (in my case, borrowed) to see just how deep you are getting in to it.
In this video, we do just that. We dive into each part...
It has been a long time coming, but the 2.5 Rebuild Series is finally here! There are thousands of people out there with these trucks and they are always asking how to do "this" or how to do "that" and in this series, I'm hoping to answer all of those questions in detail. I love getting the...
