T-MAXX
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing a Traxxas T-Maxx Nitro Monster Truck.
Traxxas engineers have loaded your T-Maxx with innovative features
and incredible “drive-over-anything” performance that you won’t find
anywhere else!
Your T-Maxx combines automatic, two-speed shifting in forward
and reverse, with powerful four-wheel disc braking. The patented
transmission design and three-channel TQ-3 radio system put these
functions right at your fingertips.
The TRX 2.5 engine is one of the most most powerful engine of its size
ever available in a Ready-To-Race
®
truck. Two years of engineering
development and advanced design, along with thousands of hours
of testing, puts the TRX 2.5 in a class by itself. Each part of the TRX 2.5
-from the air filter on the slide carburetor, to the tip on the dyno-tuned
exhaust system - has been carefully engineered to provide maximum
power over the broadest rpm range.
Traxxas was the first with standard on-board electric starting. The
EZ-Start
™
has evolved into an incredibly advanced and reliable starting
solution, featuring thermal protection for the motor and built-in
diagnostics to monitor the condition of the glow plug.
We know you’re excited about getting your new T-Maxx on
the road, but it’s very important that you take some time to
read through the Owners Manual. This manual contains all the
necessary set-up, break-in, tuning, and operating procedures that
allow you to unlock the incredible performance and adjustment
potential that Traxxas engineers designed into T-Maxx. Even if you
are an experienced R/C enthusiast, it’s important to read and
follow the procedures in this manual. Pay particular attention
to the fuel and break-in requirements for the engine. The
advanced design of the TRX Racing Engine has a special break-
in procedure that has been developed and proven to produce
the best-performing engine possible. Using traditional or old-
fashioned procedures could reduce engine performance and
longevity.
T-Maxx is made to be a complete package that starts with the
highest level of engineering; a professionally produced DVD
to acquaint you with the starting, racing, and maintenance
procedures; and is equipped stock with one of the most powerful
Ready-To-Race
®
engines available. We want you to feel confident
that you own the best-performing truck in the market and that it is
backed by a team of professionals who aim to provide the highest
level of factory support possible. T-Maxx is about experiencing
total performance and satisfaction, not just with your truck, but
also with the company that stands behind it.
Thank you again for going with Traxxas. We work hard every day
to assure you the highest level of customer satisfaction possible.
We truly want you to enjoy your new T-Maxx!
