Adjusting the Toe-in
Your T-Maxx comes from the factory with zero degrees of toe-in
in the front,and one degree of toe-in in the rear.You can adjust
the toe-in on the front and rear of the truck.Set the steering trim
on your transmitter to neutral.Now,adjust your steering
turnbuckles so that both front wheels are pointing straight ahead
and are parallel to each other (0 degrees toe-in).This will ensure
the same amount of steering in both directions.Adjust the rear
toe control links so that the rear wheels have 1˚ of toe-in.
Adjusting the Camber
Two pivot balls are accessible
through the spokes of each of the
wheels on your T-Maxx.From the
factory, the pivot balls are
completely tightened into the
suspension arms, which give each
of the wheels –1˚ of camber.
Unscrewing the bottom camber pivot ball with a 2.5mm hex
wrench will increase the wheel’s negative camber.You should
not adjust the top pivot ball; unscrewing it will increase positive
camber and will also change the wheel’s toe-in.
Fine Tuning the Oil Dampers
The eight oil dampers (shocks) on your
T-Maxx have tremendous influence on
its handling.Whenever you rebuild your
shocks, or make any changes to the
pistons,springs or oil, always do it
carefully and in sets (front or rear).
Piston head selection depends on the
range of oil viscosities that you have
available.For example, using a two-hole
piston with lightweight oil will give you
the same damping as a three-hole
piston with heavier oil.We recommend
using two-hole pistons with a range of
oil viscosities from 10W to 40W
(available from your hobby shop).The
thinner viscosity oils (30W or less) flow
with less resistance and provide less
damping,while thicker oils provide
more dampening. Use only 100% pure silicone shock oil to
prolong seal life. From the factory, the T-Maxx uses 30W oil.
The ride height for the T-Maxx can be adjusted by adding or
removing the clip-on spring pre-load spacers. Note that changes
in ride height will occur when changes in shock angle or spring
rates are made.You can compensate for ride height changes by
changing the pre-load spacers on the shocks

Factory toe-in
settings can be
achieved by
installing the rod ends on
the turnbuckles until they
bottom out against the
shoulder. If you desire
more toe-out, the tips of
the rod ends must be
trimmed to allow them to
screw down further onto
the turnbuckle threads.
