This week I thought I would examine the
T-Maxx 3.3 Monster Truck, by far the most popular radio controlled Nitro Monster Truck in the history of RC.
The model #4908 is the latest offering by T-Maxx with noticeably improved "girth" and 50 or so mm's longer with a wider stance. The addition of a full "
Revo" drive train and transmission with reverse adds to the value of this Monster. Insane speeds come from the TRX 3.3 racing engine with a larger displacement and advance porting for class-leading horse power.
Recommended fuel for the TRX 3.3 is
Traxxas Top Fuel, which comes in 10, 20 and 33% Nitro content and is available at almost any Hobby Shop for around $40 / gallon. Which should last you a season (3-4 months) or more, in my case.
Starting the T-Maxx is sweet with the
EZ-Start system. Just one push of a button and Bob's your Uncle! The engine comes to life without incident. If there is a problem, the lights on your hand-held control unit will glow and indicate the problem. Such as, a bad glow plug or motor shut down in protection mode due to an excessive load.
Stormer Hobbies online is where I got my latest T-Maxx (got a great deal!). These guys were helpful and quite friendly to deal with.
This has just been an intro to the new T-Maxx and I hope you found it interesting and consider it when looking for a great Nitro Monster Truck. Dozens of dealers also exist out there who can provide aftermarket parts to personalize and customize your ride. Such as
Integy, just to mention one. And to be sure there are a jillion ways to set up your T-Maxx... Now, have fun!
