for your steering did you try new batteries? cause if you have batteries in them that have been used a little it will slow down you steering servos. Also for your motor over heating you might want to richen the high speed needle a little and lean the low speed needle depending on your idle if your idle and how it runs your other option would to richen the low speed needle a little but you might want to give more details on your motor how it's reacting and the performance your getting stuff like that so it's easier for us rc enthusiasts to figure out your problem but I hope the info I gave you helps.

as for my steering i put new batteries in it but it still has poor steering i noticed that the servo saver is a little dinged up adn bent should i replace that?

yea that might be your servo saver for your stering problem for you engine problem it seems that you need to richen the low speed needle and lean out you high speed needle try that once if you still get poor performace from your engine start from factory setting. factory seting's are turn your high speed needle right till it's snugg and back it out 4 turns and go from there.

also id suggest you do not buy aluminum parts...u might think they are good because they are strong but as soon as u have one bad wreck then its just one big twisted ball of aluminum

yesterday i fliped my t-maxx in the mud, and even though i cleaned it, it still wont start again. i got the faintest start, but it shuts off when the gas hits the carburator.

the t-maxx is a good truck, ive had mine for about a week, but it hadn't run for about a year. it starts, but now that i've driven it in the mud i have to work with it. the t-maxx is good, but make sure if you drive it on a ramp, or somewhere really bumpy, check to see if the reciever is still functioning, otherwise you'll lose control of it.
