Build Thread 2000's Tmaxx builds nostalgia

[BashedCepica04]

I'm building my Tmaxx 2000's era style. similar you would see on rc magazines and classic nitro bash videos. I'm keeping a look out for parts as well if anyone that has a dual exhaust system for a tmaxx 3.3 i would be interested if anyone is willing to sell.

Thanks

@Chubaka might be your guy for rare and vintage Traxxas nitro stuff.

This sounds like a fun build! I can't wait to see it!

Ebay is your best bet. Traxxas makes most parts still. They discontinued the aluminum bulks. Trinity and dynamite aluminum bits pop up here and there.

I have an og .15 and a 2.5 I'm building up. Next is a 3.3.

Thread 'Chubaka's Tmaxx collection'

Nov 5, 2025

So far it consists of a narrow arm .15 and an original 2.5 both with the round body mounts. They have since been replaced by a square style.

.15 was bought in 2011 or so as a roller for 85. The 2.5 was bought rtr for 65 i believe in-between 2011 and 2013.

Both trucks are being brought back from the grave. The .15 is first with as much factory parts and options as is available. When these two are done, I'm eye balling a 3.3 model to complete this collection.

The .15 i got original decals and am painting it the factory color. Its currently sitting on rpm 3.2 wheels.tgose are gonna get 2.8...

Are you a collector as well?

I am a vintage collector. My heart set mostly on Kyosho lately but I have Tamiya, AE, Traxxas and an HPI too.
