T-MAXX 2.5R
Introduction
Your TRX 2.5R Racing Engine is broken in, the fuel mixture is balanced,
and the idle is set…now it’s time to have some fun! This section contains
instructions on making adjustments to your T-Maxx 2.5R. Before you go
on, here are some important precautions to keep in mind.
Don’t run your T-Maxx 2.5R in water, mud, snow, or wet grass. It’s
tempting, but water and mud are easily drawn through the air filter
and will severely damage the engine. Small amounts of moisture can
cause electronics to fail and loss of control over your T-Maxx 2.5R.
Snow is frozen water. Do not drive the T-Maxx 2.5R in snow or the
electronics could be damaged by water.
The TRX 2.5R Racing Engine is extremely powerful. Remember to
apply the throttle gradually to prevent loss of control. T-Maxx 2.5R is
very fast and responsive and is intended for experienced drivers. Do
not drive over the limits of your reflexes and ability. Drive with
caution at all times and gradually build up your ability to maintain
control at T-Maxx 2.5R’s upper performance limits.
Don’t hold T-Maxx 2.5R off the ground and rev the engine excessively
with no load on the engine. This practice could result in internal
engine damage. Avoid over revving the engine when T-Maxx 2.5R is
airborne after a jump.
Avoid excessive high-speed running for extended periods of time or
over long distances. This could cause the engine to build up enough
speed to exceed maximum safe rpm limits.
Don’t drive your T-Maxx 2.5R with drive train damage of any kind. The
engine could be damaged due to overloads caused by drivetrain
friction, or over-revving caused by loose or missing parts.
Don’t tow anything with your T-Maxx 2.5R. The engine is cooled by
airflow created by speed. Towing creates a high load on the engine, and
at the same time limits cooling of the engine due to low vehicle speed.
If your T-Maxx 2.5R gets stuck, stop driving immediately. Move the
vehicle and then continue driving.
Never turn off the radio system while the engine is running. The truck
could run out of control.
Forward and Reverse Operation
Forward and reverse gears are
selected with the shift button
located in the transmitter handle
grip. The switch is normally in the
down, or forward, position.
To shift into reverse, bring your
T-Maxx 2.5R to a
complete stop
and push the shift button up.
Accelerate to engage the gear.
To return to forward gear, repeat the same procedure but move the
shift button down.
T-Maxx 2.5R will not shift between forward and reverse unless the
truck is stopped. If it will not shift, then refer to the troubleshooting
section on www.Traxxas.com or call Traxxas support.
Driving Tips
Monster trucks by design have a high center of gravity that requires a
different driving technique. To prevent rollovers, slow down as you
approach turns and then apply moderate throttle through the turns.
This technique will help T-Maxx 2.5R grab the surface and turn
sharper.
Do not apply brakes and turn the wheel at the same time. You could
tip the truck over.
When jumping, apply some throttle while T-Maxx 2.5R is in the air to
keep the truck’s nose up and land level on all 4 wheels. Be careful not
to over-rev the engine or land at full throttle. Either could seriously
damage your T-Maxx 2.5R. If the nose of the truck is too high, then
quickly tap the brake to level the truck in the air.
Drive over large obstacles (such as curbs and rocks) at an angle,
instead of head on. This will allow the suspension to articulate and
absorb the impact much easier.
Even though T-Maxx 2.5R is capable of high speed in reverse, it is very
difficult to control while driving in reverse. Limit your reverse speed
to prevent crashing or flipping your T-Maxx 2.5R.
Change or clean your air filter element after each hour of running.
This is critical for the life of your engine. Running time includes the
engine break-in period.
