Spent a few years upgrading the OG T-Maxx. Bought it brand new back when they first hit the market. It was my first RC that I threw every upgrade imaginable at. It evolved over the years and with every new release or revision to the T-Maxx I upgraded to the latest model. Somewhere around the release of the Slash Ultimate is when I parked it. Hasn't run since. It's full of all the goodies. Robinson racing gears in the tranny including the spur. Sirio .18 motor with slide carb and matching pipe. Weld racing wheels and Proline Moab XL's. Aluminum diff housings, shock towers and even servo mounts. Has a steering servo armor plate. 2.5 model axles and hubs, big bore shocks that still hold oil and are butter smooth. I think the only thing still stock is the transmission case, bulkheads and electronics covers. Everything else was upgraded several times over the years. I'm going to do a full rebuild and bring her back to life. Oh and the rear diff is locked. She will lift one front wheel while literally spinning doughnuts in place like a top. Pretty wild to watch that wheel lift up and balloon while the truck just spins.
Hey man, what’s up? I’m glad to hear you got these awesome shocks as well. They totally change the personality of this truck and the best thing is they never leak and they never piss you off.
Hey Hybrid it's been a while!!!!! Keep the electrics at bay and never give up racing nitros and gassers. Btw I love my tmaxxes. Regret selling my big block dynamite conv kitted one but oh well. With the big block they are insane.
I just bought the revo 3.3 in December haven’t been able to break it in yet but I did also buy the O.S 11K carb for my revo I’m gonna throw that baby on and then break it in. I enjoy your videos man keep up the nitro gang videos.
Been waiting to see you run this one since I saw it on the live what of those upgrade parts do you think are actually worth buying I only plan on replacing things on mine as they break
Hey man, how you doing to be honest with you the most important upgrades you can make are the rpm, suspension arms and rpm bulkheads otherwise a good reliable radio with built-in failsafe should be your first upgrade depending on how old of a T Max you got. There will be another updated video on this with some better top speed runs.
@@hybrid32494 I'm good thanks for asking hope you are as well bro and my tmaxx is a Frankenstein build of parts from parts lots I bought for my s-maxx 3.3. most of it is a original pro .15 narrow arm t-maxx that had been electric converted I already put rpm front bulkheads and got a dynamite .19 for it and I did get a 2.4 ghz radio setup it was the cheapest on hobbytown had thought the tactic ttx300 it seems fine couldn't find too much about it if it works good I might get another for the s-maxx it still has the tq3 original setup
I have a big block tmaxx I can’t get to work right it seems. I got a regular tmaxx that seems to overheat a little bit. I just rebuilt my jato with a ported 3.3 and the stock carb is junk it seems for it. Their factory settings are horrible on a ported it seems. I need some help.
Nice find buddy. Boy did you get rain the hell out of there. My 1st upgrade if an Rc comes with MHZ radio!, out it goes. We have better affordable radios now. The old radio May be ok but that dammed antenna man!
Great video sorry about the rain I have three T-Maxx two bashers and the other one I'm trying to make a 50 to 60 mile-an-hour T-Max top speed hopefully more
hey my dude! I'm glad you agree about having a ton of T-Maxx(s) lol!! Each one can be made to be different and still be fun to drive. Anways, I'd sure love a clip of the fast t-m,axx you're building! I would use it on the channel, the world needs to know a t-maxx can be SICKENINGLY fast too!!
@@richmccoy3449 I'm trying to run my T-Max 3.3 but I'm trying to get at least to a 65 spur gear with a 24 pinion gear and hopefully that give me a little closer and then go from there and tires as well but everything takes a little time money
Hey Lucas bro!! Yes the RPM true-track suspension kit includes everything, I might have not emphasized that in this video. I made it sound like you could get various separate parts, but yes you're right you need the entire kit and it's all inclusive!! NitroGang!! More on this truck soon!
Got my first Traxxas and nitro which is a T-Maxx 2.5 OG style.. I cranked it over, hit second gear, and... It immediately started to rain! 🤣🤦🏾♂️ It's been 3 days and still won't show sun 😮💨.. I think you're on to something there.
hey buddy! The best upgrade beside an engine would be a proper tuned pipe. You could pick up the traxxas 3.3 exhaust setup unless you already have that.
Hey dude, you got a good point right there. Ironically, the prior seller put on the worlds most useless upgrades and not even very well installed but the engine is at least still alive because you cannot kill and Nitro more proof.
I live my life one battery pack at a time. When that light turns green on the easy start I’m going for it. In that ten seconds or less I am free. No thoughts of electrics or TRAXXAS fuel. When that stupid nickel metal battery charges I’m going for it.
and this why you're the MAN!! lol. As you know each one is different and has it's own personality and character based on any mods or just simple appearances. NitroGang!. Need more nitros!
Hey bro! I had ZERO trouble with this AM radio during this video. But I will tell you that when I put a camera onto the car and started recording it lowered my range drastically and the fail-safe activated. You will get to see that in a follow-up video.
I agree!! Nitros will never die as long as we keep making them GREAT AGAIN!! I'm trying to do my part, but we need more people asking the manufacturers to make more nitros. I've already made fun of the new LOSI motorcycle bagel, and have experienced negative backlash for it.
@@hybrid32494 Screw em lol. Let them complain man. I wish Losi would bring back an updated version of the LST...maybe call it an LST3 or something. I think it would sell.
What’s up my dude, and that is why you are the VP of the NitroGang emoji and sickening deal division. Soon everybody will know because I will literally publish that in a video, I am just collecting the other division VPs this week.
ahhaaah! yes bro!! you got a good point there!! Imagine the Prius back in the 1980s lol! Actually in Japan the Hybrid system has been in testing since the early 1900s, so the JDM market already had the early versions of the hybrid systems.
hey bro! I totally agree, I dislike most aluminum upgrades, especially pointless Integy parts like these. I got this truck used obviously and just showing it for what it is. They suck, but the parts are still a good amount of money once you start getting the entire chassis kit you know.

Side note, losi makes the best shocks around, even the older shocks are amazing.
Need one of those roll bar handles for my 3.3 Tmaxx, my 2.5 has a nice cage to grab! Cool video!
Cool truck, I got one almost identical sitting in a bin waiting to be finished. I feel motivated after watching this.
Hybrid ,I enjoy watching your Nitro videos, I’m a Traxxas Nitro owner , got 2 Tmaxx,s 3.3 and a 2.5 , also my Nitro Rustler now has the 3.3 engine!
Come rain or shine, it’s nitro time. Sick T-Maxx 🔥
100% right my dude!! There will be another updated video after the axle repair, we can see how this thing really runs before getting Rained out! lol
I put them shocks on my Tmaxx 3.3 with the stiffer dual rate springs and wow. What a difference. It’s like driving a whole different truck.
Hey man, what’s up? I’m glad to hear you got these awesome shocks as well. They totally change the personality of this truck and the best thing is they never leak and they never piss you off.
It corrects the rear from swing left to right especially when the back end drops it tends to mess with the turn buckles
Hey Hybrid it's been a while!!!!! Keep the electrics at bay and never give up racing nitros and gassers. Btw I love my tmaxxes. Regret selling my big block dynamite conv kitted one but oh well. With the big block they are insane.
I been holding it down out here buying all the vintage nitros and Bri going them back to life.
Hey, my dude, now that makes you the ultimate NitroGang top level member!!! Im happy to hear that man!!
We got the same rain storm here in NH on Saturday it was sickening.
yes bro! the Sickening rain tried to keep us from running out nitros. Don't worry, there will be more on this truck.
I just bought the revo 3.3 in December haven’t been able to break it in yet but I did also buy the O.S 11K carb for my revo I’m gonna throw that baby on and then break it in. I enjoy your videos man keep up the nitro gang videos.
0:25 like the answer bro i have savage x and revo and im planning to buy nitro touring car real nitro companine
Hey my fellow NItroGang brother!! I'm happy to hear that! Buy more nitros and live a happy life.

T-Maxx Tony says what's up and that he is going to be running his T-MAXX Today.
Nice!

That was my dream truck back in the early 2000's 🔥 Sickening 🔥

Hey nitro gang, what radio would u recommend to replace that exact radio? Mine glitches when antenna is extended.....
Nice find buddy. Boy did you get rain the hell out of there. My 1st upgrade if an Rc comes with MHZ radio!, out it goes. We have better affordable radios now. The old radio May be ok but that dammed antenna man!

I wanna rebuild mine as well. Any motors you have in mine and gearing I could use to make it run 60mph?

2 speed baby!! Crazy rain bro.
Happy to say im back in the nitro gang! Picking up my jato in the morning!

Another great video thanks hybrid. NITRO GANG, THE KIT COMES WITH EVERYTHING

great video nice rc
Thanks 👍
When did T-maxx Tony get out of jail-prison, i heard the 2 speed
LOl! Hey my dude! T-maxx Tony will be making an appearance in a video near you really soon!
Well at least you know the previous owner didn't try to kill the engine. That lsn was FAT
