It took me 4.5 hours to disassemble and reassemble my T-Maxx last night. I do not want to have to do that again.

Status: offline 		I went all stock again. I figure my driving will get better and I will avoid all solid objects from now on!

On another note! After fixing my Maxx I ran into a couple of guys who own them and they showed me how to fine tune my Maxx. It now holds a tune and I can run all day without have to adjust anything on the carb. One important thing I learned is that my carb idle setting needs to be open a little more then 1mm to idle and drive correctly.

I also added a 2 foot loop of fuel line from my tank to the Carb. This prevents air from entering my carb when I get under a half of a tank and keeps me from stalling out.
