Tmaxx 2.5
I tell you what my 2.5 is worse than a woman..Two weekends ago it ran great,pretty much ran whole tank without stalling,shifted fine.following weekend won't run for crap humidity is the same,won't even shift any more nor stay running long enough,it dies as soon as I let go of the throttle.what's up with that?Have tryed to re-tune now blowing plugs left and right.They seem to blow right when it sound like it's fixing to shift..

It's the engine.That GOD$#@! is one of the biggest peices of crap i've ever delt with.My freind has had a MAXX 2.5 since December and it has never ran right.It blew the piston/sleeve after 14 tanks.Even after the new piston/sleeve it still gave me problems.We finally got it to run right TWO days ago!!!! We set it back to factory again and didn't touch it and now it's running like a dream.We've reset that thing 10 times with no results and now it decides to work.I ritchened it up about 1/4 turn from factory because it was still to hot and it screams now.The reverse works it shifts and everything else a MAXX is supposed to do.

you sure your not getting air leaks somwhere?when the engine is running look for air bubbles thru the fuel line...IF there are some you have an air leak somewhere....

Had the same problem with mine so I took the motor out and took it apart and resealed everything with Hitemp RTV now it runs like a dream, they may have good o-rings on everthing but that still doesn't mean that it is sealed. reseal it and it may cure your problem.
