Recommended setup:
2.5 TMAXX with a two speed transmission and reverse
540 – 550 sized motor, brushed or brushless.
ESC capable of forward only.
3s 5000mah or similar battery pack.
A channel splitter (servo Y harness) to run the brake servo and ESC together on the receivers throttle channel.
If the brake engages while going forward you will need to reverse the motors polarity and reverse the throttle channel on your transmitter.
Transmission adjustments, adjust gear settings so that the forward and reverse gears engage at low RPMs.
Tune the shift point of the second speed to happen sooner.
- Turn the adjustment screw 1/8 turn counterclockwise to lower the shift point (earlier shifts)
- Use 1/8 turn increments to find the approximate, desired shift point.
For a TMAXX with a forward only transmission
You will need to use a ESC with reverse function if you want to have reverse.
Note: Some Basic Motor Tips
When you attach the mount to the chassis use the included screws they should go upwards through the chassis screw holes then thread up into the mount from underneath the chassis.
See the mounting screw location photo for reference. Please be aware that some aftermarket chassis are different than the original Traxxas chassis and might be missing some of the screw holes needed.
Avoid using any type of countersunk or small head motor screws to attach your motor to the mount.
Add flat washers to your motor screws or use the included large head motor screws, it will clamp more of the mount surface preventing the motor from moving around and possibly damaging the mount or stripping your gears.
Motors with higher RPMs are better at reaching second speed sooner.
Your motor operating temperature range should be around 120°F to 150°F max. If you start to see 150°F or more, it's time to change your pinion/spur gear ratio or check your drive train for binding. It is also a good idea to add a motor heat-sink or cooling fan to your motor.
