Traxxas TMaxx 3.3

Bought this past Christmas and I am not familiar with the hobby... never could get the truck properly tuned and its kept filing plugs on me... don't have the time to put into the hobby for what is needed to get familiar with it... ready to just soak up my losses and let someone else get a deal:





as you can see in the last pic, the roof line is still in great shape from lack of crashes

these truck retails for $400+, i'll let it go for $250 + Shipping

yes it is, also need to make a note, I don't have any glow plugs(that aren't burnt out) with it... I used 3232x with it, you can get a 5 pack for like $20 on ebay... after going through not one but 2 five packs of those, well, that is when I decided maybe this isn't the hobby for me, lol...

could it have been that you were using old fuel? i remember with my Team Associated if i used gas that had been sitting around for a few months the thing would run like **** and would end up ruining the plugs.

probably what it honestly is... the Hobby Town USA here went out of business from lack of business and I bought the fuel on sale, probably because it had been on the shelf for a while

or that, like I said, i'll put plugs in, it'll run fine... until the truck gets warm, then it files the plug and I get pissed off... hence, why its for sale, lol

Lean that baby out and have some fun. Your low speed needle could actually be causing the problem. Did you ever try going back to stock carb settings and going from there? Those motors are usually really easy to tune and keep tuned right

decided to keep it and play around... bad fuel was the cause

Hobby Town USA had their fuel on sale when I bought a gallon of it... I now know why... no telling how long it'd been on the shelf(they have since closed down as of a couple of weeks ago)...

got some new fuel and its running amazing.. I knew it was something stupid, I had just kind of gotten bored in even trying to fix it...

still will probably end up selling it again in a couple of months, but for the time being, its not for sale, lol

im into r/c airplanes as well as cars, and fuel is a common issue. tuning these and keeping them tuned is really easy.
