Aluminum upgrade websites and factory tuning.

[RIV]

I'm looking to upgrade all parts to my t maxx, id like most aluminum upgrades if possible and would like to know the exact factory tuning straigh out the box, I've heard of different tunes and turns I want to start fresh thanks for any help Riv

There is Intergy and ST racing. Those are the two aluminum upgrade companies. The Entergy sometimes does not fit properly and needs to have some tune in to make them fit. ST racing has fit everything I've used it on. As far as tuning are you speaking of pinion and spur gear ratio?

With a t-maxx, RPM arms (true track on the rear), shock towers and plastic skids are the best option. It's best to keep the things that stick out as plastic, so they can absorb impact and flex vs just bending and/or destroying whatever they are bolted too. Alloy chassis rails, bulkheads, bulkhead braces, center skid, servo mounts are all good things to upgrade.

There aren't nearly as many companies out there anymore that make good quality alloy parts though. STRC and Hot Racing are both likely better than Integy in quality and fitment, but none of the 3 hold a candle to what you could buy 15 years ago...

RD Logics is another that's not "awesome", but on par with STRC and HR:

Unlimited Engineering was the best you could get for bulkheads:

The site doesn't show photo's anymore... but they were a work of art. A buddy of mine had those 15+ years ago in 7075. They even used helicoil's for the threaded bits which made it less prone to galling and wear from repeated removal to work on the diffs and whatnot.
