SMC Networks T-Maxx 4910 - Manual (Page 3)

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 new TRX 2.5 engine is the most powerful engine of its size
ever available in a Ready-To-Run 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 new second generation 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.
Obviously, there’s much going on between the wheels of your
T-Maxx. In this manual, we’ll take you step-by-step through all
necessary set-up, break-in, tuning, and operating procedures.
Even if you are an experienced R/C enthusiast, it is
important for you to read and follow the procedures in this
manual. Pay particular attention to the fuel requirements
and break-in procedures.
The advanced design of the TRX
2.5 engine does not follow old-fashioned thinking
regarding fuel and break-in procedures.
