MAXXER2.5ER

my truck runs good when i run it for the first time that day but then it get up to the 280 degreee range dies and then wont start until it cools down to the 160 range or lower. whats up with that. it doesnt bogg or anything when im going full speed but once it dies its hard to get going again. what can i do?

Sounds like you need to run your truck a little richer. The added fuel going into the carb should keep it cooler.

would i adjust the low speed for that or the high speed i have a super charger on it also

1. no such thing as a 'real' supercharger.
2. your only supposed to run this motor up to 270, your running to lean.

RB innovations makes it if you look at my pics you will see it

sorry you believed the hype man my 2.5 screams w/o it, and there really is no reason to upgrade the motor except for maybe a boost in the low end department.

its cool i took it off after i read a couple peoples input on it. i was thinking of real cars when i bought it but that mistake wont happen again. it hasnt worked right since i got it anyway so oh well no pain no gain i guess. do you have any input on suspension setups i have the the aftershock steering stablitly in the front but because i have the c-vec z800 pipe mounted on the rear i cant put the rear stability on so instead i have the trinity blue and black springs on the back w/ 60 weight oil. it is real quick to bounce back but it also bottoms out really bad still what can i do.

It's Running to hot. When it heat's up the piston expandes and rubs against the cylinder. Run it richer and cut a hole in the front of the front and rear of the body to allow the heat to excape.

Could alse be vapor lock (because of heat). I had the same problem, but then I bought Fireline (stock #1091) fuel line and the problem went away.

when it is 2 lean it is hard to start. Trust me...i know ALOT bout rc. look at my name on traxxas

Not necessarily if its too lean..Just if the mixture in general is not right. You have to have the LSN and HSN at a good setting as to where they complement each other almost.

One mistake that many people make when tuning a T Maxx with a stock tank is when the fuel level is above the carb, more fuel is supplied to the engine but as the level falls to where pressure is needed to push the fuel, volume falls off and your engine will run lean if you have it borderline when the supply pressure is greater. Tuning when the fuel level is just above the carb inlet level is a good place to hit a good tune that will work well for a full tank.

thanks for the help that makes alot of sense. i just bought the sirio so i will try that on that engine!
